[Model thread discussion - cold spell looming]

What I will say on the subject of extreme cold, people rightly saying that it’s all going to go badly when these beauts don’t materialise, but what I will say is the trend is there, yes it most likely won’t be like this come the day, but the way things are going models wise I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re talking about the February of 2021 for years to come. Sweet dreams

Afternoon, people shouldn’t worry to much about accumulations etc, I’m on the south coast and it’s so hard getting snow. Experience tells me that we get the cold in first winds from the east we will get surprises. 2010 we nearly had a foot and we only had about 12 hours notice for it

[Winter 2020/21 chat, ramps, moans and banter]

The main stream sites ie bbc and sky are saying that snow will mainly be focused on the east and Scotland, saying just flurries in southern areas. Does anyone know if there info will change closer to the time or do they have other sources for there weather info?

Bognor Regis seems to be in the sweet spot, getting a good dumping. Misses said 2 inches so far and still falling heavy. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Sent by my family from Bognor Regis, getting a good dumping there which is rare 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Typical I’m away with the military leaving my little girl at home who rarely sees snow, just had a message from the wife saying heavy snow and settling on all surfaces. Hope she enjoys it, shame daddy’s not there to see her have fun in it. Bognor Regis 

[Cold hunt - models and chat]

Sadly for us on the south coast we have to wait for our easterly to materialise for any real cold and snow. Hope everyone enjoys the snow atm

[Model banter returns]

Well maybe it’s a case of short term pain long term gain lol, GFS ends with an absolute peach on a greeny high and entrenched cold. Keep chin up my cold hunting pals

Evening all

just a quick question, during the winters of 47/63/87 etc is there any evidence that these big winter events started after a SSW? Can you get a prolonged wintry spell without a SSW?

GFS keeping things mild up to 144hrs

The pattern is unlikely to change until late January in my opinion based on all of the long range models and the fact that we are continuously chasing FI 

Wow bold statement pal, the models flip and change more than my underpants. Things could look very different in the next 2 weeks. Long range signals 2 weeks ago showed northern blocking and a cold start to December.

What a beautiful day it's been at Headley court military rehab facility. Cold and crisp and a slight thaw through the day. Was walking around the gardens and the sun was lovely and warm. Looking forward to a nice warm spring now. The end of winter 17/18 has been memorable ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 03/03/2018 Onwards]

Here on the south coast we have a lovely dusting of salt on the roads and naff all else ?. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Anyone else ready for spring now lol? Snow is great but lethal ice is awful. A lot of people will get injurys today 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

We're having a period of heavy hail. Very fine but it's making the roads lethal. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Well after being very impatient all day we finally have our heavy snow. Kids have done there sledging and loved it. Stay safe everyone 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

more snow in my fridge than my back garden

The snow clearing through now is it for today -

the big clump of snow pushing up from france will hit the SW this eve but then overnight the energy will pivot & spread back SE down the channel & up into our area tomorrow morning as snow - ( maybe im the extreme south coast rain )

The GFS wants to push the front through but other models like the UKMO / hirlam want to slow it down over london / SE

??? just the words I wanted to here mate, rain on the south coast lol. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

What a shocking week for snow where I am, seem to be caught right in the middle ground, heavy snow to the right, heavy snow due in the west. Already on summer count down. Very disappointed 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Non event here in West Sussex, little light snow but mainly dry and cold ?.

 Yes I wondered where you were !

I have everything crossed as I know the sw often gets the left overs at the buffet table!

Time to dine on salmon and champers rather than budget sausage rolls and cheap beer! 

Hi nick

how do you reckon West Sussex will fair tomorrow?we seem to be on the boarder of the amber warning. Thanks 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Has anyone got any idea how West Sussex will fair tomorrow? We're sort of on he boundary of the amber warning. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Had about 2cm here in Bognor Regis, steady snow through the morning dropping the kids off. Will most likely melt in sun but at least my 4 year old has finally seen snow and had a snow ball fight. Can cancel the holiday to norway now lol
