Just watching the news reports of the NE USA and New York being hammered with a huge snow event. I usually interpret that as we get the opposite!

Foggy. Definitely not plane spotting weather at Manchester Airport.

Day 10 The MetO need to stop using pine cones for forecasting. Actually perhaps they should be using them?

It's stopped raining

Snow! For about 2 minutes it's gone back to rain now.

It's snowing, oh hold on it's just bird poo on the window. Raining, cold, pretty nasty outside.

I think I might need to sell up and move further north and gain some altitude.

Unsurprisingly rain and fairly windy here.

cheshire snow Very true, I'm midway between the two about 1.5 miles away from either and it's now showing heavy snow all morning on the MetO app. It was rain about an hour ago. I'm going to deduce a marginal event according to the app!

Empire Of Snow Fuming over the lack of coverage for the south of the country on Thursday and annoyed that most of the models are not evolving in the way they'd hoped to something colder and the easterly they'd wanted.

It's pretty hard going in the MAD thread at the moment, I think they're just passing the denial phase. Just anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance to go.

Iceaxecrampon I don't feel it's a proper chase until the MOD thread becomes an entirely SE based chase. What's the matter with them they do have their own regional thread.

I know I'm being unfair but I thought the MetO's recent approach was to downplay any imminent event then rapidly ramp up the warnings about an hour after it started apart from the SE where an amber warning is in place days before a slight freeze and sleet?

Got down to -3 overnight, -1 at the moment. We've had a dusting here overnight, a mixture of snow and pellets.

3 hours ago, Joe Snow said:Expect wall to wall coverage if it snows in London tomorrow then although North Kent, the North downs looks most favoured. It'll be these short notice small features that crop up that will deliver localised snowfall pre any pushback into the cold from the W/SW I think. NW England can do well from both short notice and battleground setups it will just be a watching, waiting game.
It begins.... Snow on the way
MetO red alert surely on the way?

Mixture of despondency and SE nowcasting on the MAD thread. Do they realise they have their own regional thread? IBERIAN HEIGHTS being mentioned a lot. I'm pretty sure that's what @Kasim Awan was warning them about and he was on the verge of being lynched a couple of day's ago?

Nasty outside, my weather station receiver has just been blown into the neighbours garden. When's the SSW due?

The howling wind has woken me up too, that takes some doing, some real gusts with this.

Just now, severe snowstorm said:
A properly organised line of ppn now developed out to the West of Wales. I'm assuming that's what the warning is for as it develops and moves N and E.
That's what I'm watching too. About half an hour ago it looked it was heading right for us. It now looks like it's slipping eastwards. I still think we'll at least catch the edge of it?

The humidity is horrible, damn it all for have a house with decent insulation. I'm actually looking forward to the start of the next working week!

Not a fan of this, particularly at night. I'm working out how to gain super powers, if successful I'll plunge the country into an eternal ice age or more annoyingly for everyone around 7C, overcast and permanent drizzle.

The BBC / Meteogroup weren't having any of it though. They were forecasting clear skies as late as 10pm last night.
I've got to say their short term accuracy has definitely become poorer since they ditched the UKMO in 2018, even if they do use the ECMWF and GFS. Maybe it's just their graphics system? The Met office graphics do seem to represent cloud and showers in a more realistic way, even if the graphics are a tad too vibrant.I've noticed that too, I ignore their near term forecasts, the BBC now struggle to get the forecast right on the day. Longer term they seem better. Equally the UKMO always seem underestimate maximum temperatures.

Exactly. This is what I dont like. Humidity can't be escaped unless you have the tech, which I do not.
Equally, having just run out to the shop, that sun is bloody warm even for this time of year. Already 25c here, with a feels like of 29c. People to the north, lucky you!
You have my sympathies, I lived in London and the south coast for twenty years until the early 2000's. I found the humidity accompanying hot spells unbearable back then, I dread to think what's it like now?
