Me too - has he not posted this year? Temp here is still 8.7!

Temperature has really shot up here - 8.6c! http://www.weather.rgsinfo.net

Take 2 paracetamol and your temperature should go down Warm sector here - 5.9c currently

Temp: 4.6c here with a dew point of 4c - both of these need to come down q lot for any snow in Reigate...

Hi all, belated Christmas greetings... Here is what fergieweather (Ian Ferguson) just wrote in the model thread: " Back to the here and now - signs now well underway of changes in leading edge of PPN, all going largely as modelled with cold pool taking shape. Snow falling readily at the moment at the Hawthorns (West Brom) and sticking on the pitch in last few mins.... a taste of what may now follow into this evening and tonight. Latest analysis suggests we can't rule out some snow even well south of M4 later into the eve/night. Wintry showers tomorrow for many districts (incl. in south), giving some accumulations over higher ground." Important bit for us at the end! Here's hoping!

Ummm.... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn1441.gif Not on that GFS run it isn't?

Just some slight differences between the 12z and 18z GFS! Is that -10 air coming into the South East?

Yes, this is the second option that John Hammond outlined last night in his forecast for the week... Charts to show the differences after 5 days... ECM: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm1201.gif UKMO: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1201.gif GFS: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn1201.gif It's all about how that low pressure moves!

Yes, the ECM has much more of the country in northerly / North Western winds on Christmas Day compared to the GFS... GFS: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn1441.gif ECM: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm1441.gif The UKMO isn't too bad either... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1441.gif

Hi Ian, See: https://forum.netweather.tv/topic/67869-bartlett-set-up/ It's a difficult thing to define but it is known as the winter killer on here!

Taking the 18z as gospel (which it isn't of course!) it's a green christmas for most... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn2401.gif Maybe not a green Boxing Day for some... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn2641.gif And the -5 air is over all the UK by 27th! http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn2882.gif We can but dream!

Comfortably the coldest night of the winter so far here in Reigate... The temperature got to -2.7 - currently -2. (Figures from Reigate Grammar School's weather station - http://www.weather.rgsinfo.net )

If you click on HLB or MLB, it tells you But it's high level blocking or mid level blocking - I think!

Who knew you were so attractive... I'm an 8 or 9 on the scale - I blame Jan 1987!

Raining miserably here...

100% better surely?

Snow has also fallen in Wengen... http://www.bellevue-wengen.ch/webcam-wengen.html

The Warren is still there, it's a little more protected - it was Dawlish that took the brunt of it!

Good to see you weathergeek... I think I must have been MIA at aome point last year - I have no idea what happened! What I will say I have noticed since posting in here since November is that there's much less banter... Oh the weather - no frost here this morning!

Not a clue ! Was it in the lounge? Unfortunately I was trying to upload from my iPhone- it was the right way on there!

Ok, why is my pic upside down??

Dare I ask what the bap thread is?Well today was very chilly but glorious blue skys... Frost didn't clear from some sheltered spots... Look at the colour of the sky in the pic - that's Father Christmas arriving in Reigate!

Morning all, beautiful winter's morning here in Reigate Temp at the grammar school currently -0.4c - http://www.weather.rgsinfo.net Looks like today will be gorgeous- should be good for Father Christmas's helicopter landing in Priory Park this morning! My sister arrives from Tanzania where she lives today - I think the temperature maybe a shock to her system!

DRL - I understand from a post from Paul a few days ago that the parallel is not being run for a few days as they are fixing the supercomputer!

Well, it's officially a better winter than last year - look what the met office app is forecasting for Reigste on Saturday!
