Good to see that my snow symbols that disappeared overnight are back to an extent and with temperatures already down to -2c, it’s looking good for tomorrow.
Looking more of a later in the day event though so just hope that we don’t go the wrong side of marginal before it starts.

Tuesday’s snow shower graphics have pretty much disappeared from here now apart from towards the evening.
no surprise really and no surprise that Saturdays heavy rain symbols are still showing.
just need the warnings to disappear now and the expected backtrack will be complete.

Bring back John Kettley and the Met Office!
In fairness, even John Kettley would struggle to make todays crap winters sound remotely interesting and if Jo Blyth was showing me the forecast for the mid Feb 1979 blizzards, I’d be fully focussed on the weather map

As already said, a massive contradiction between the snow warnings shown on Wednesday and Thursday to the sunny skies and bone dry shown on the app.
the only thing that gives a chance of snow here is the cold temperatures being modelled but this could end up being the least snowy snow warning ever issued.

Assume that means you’re flying Emirates on the A380? Brilliant way to travel.
As for Thailand - absolutely wonderful place. The food is incredible. Also given the time of year you’ll be going - expect to see some amazing lightning displays.
Aye A380 it is.
see it quite a lot in the summer, circling above here before landing at Manchester and I’ve always wanted to fly on one so that’s something else I can tick off.
it certainly beats our usual of spending 5 hours cramped on a plane only fit for a couple at best.

Thailand is amazing, the beer, food, people and beaches. Dubai is a bit meh, bit like trafford center on steroids. Good to do once, but very fake. Very jealous ill be back there once the kids grow up
Aye it’s probably just a need to see it once from us.
Thailand and the wider far east, maybe we’ll be back again in the future.
we were on the point of booking a cruise from Sri Lanka back to Jordan in April but I don’t fancy paying a fortune to run the gauntlet through the Gulf at Yemen or risk it being cancelled at the last minute so that will have to wait until things calm down again.

Anyway enough of this will it won’t search for a flake of snow in winter.
We’ve just booked two weeks holiday and for the first time ever, will be heading east beyond the Med so although it’s not until late September, Thailand and a few days in Dubai on the way home here we come.
can’t wait

Trough seems to be hitting further north and fizzling out by the time it gets down to Lancashire.
If there’s even the slightest chance of something cropping up to remove our snow chances, it will happen.

We’re off down to Manchester shortly to meet up with friends and as I’m still not clear of a nasty chesty cough I’m wrapped up like I’m going on a polar expedition.
probably end up sweating walking about.

CertInly a bit

It’ll be interesting to see if the Met put up a warning for Tuesdays snow later this morning or think it still too far out to be considered worthy.
Northern Ireland have a warning for Monday which was issued on Friday so it’s probably just down to confidence.

Nice to see plenty of snow symbols for here on Tuesday.
will they still be there nearer the time, it’s still all up for grabs but it’s an improvement on anything showing yesterday.
Either way it’s going to be damn cold next week.

Arpege has a lovely streamer on Tuesday
shame it’s of the liquid variety
Great chart, probably the best one of the winter.
especially that tiny white dot that shows there may be a chance of snow somewhere near me.
5 mile westerly correction anyone

Low has moved north, which isn't great for us as it stop shower activity but it will change again .
Typical, every bloody low heads south and leaves us dry apart from the one we want to stay south which then moves north, but not enough to give us snow, just enough to stop us getting it

Given that the final path of weather systems nearly always ends up at least a hundred miles south of where initially forecast, I can never understand why the models don’t factor this in at the time.
Surely it would improve their status when it comes to their level of accuracy and overall standard.as for snow prospects, after showing nothing but cloud and dry for the last week, I’m finally showing a single flake on Wednesday and it’s in daylight hours when I can get out of work and enjoy it
Just a shame it likely be gone by the next update

This type of low pressure coming up from the SE into cold air is usually garbage for low lying areas around Grtr Man. So I'm not really holding out for next week (bit imby that actually.. i do apologise). However it could be jackpot time for our friends in the east of the region with a bit of elevation.. so here's hoping somewhere in the NW gets pasted
I’m in the east of the region and certainly should have the altitude but not putting my last fiver on a snowfest.
Maybe a covering at times as the fronts head south early next week but the current default in cold set ups is for anything coming in from the west/sw to stay well to our south and, even the forecasts are pushing the mid week system south to a point where it is a midlands south event at best.
I didn’t take a lot of notice of the science behind the weather growing up in the 70’s and then into the classic winters of the early 80’s but we certainly got some heavy snow events during most years and I’m not talking a couple of inches.
snow was measured in excess of a foot up here in the Pennines and crucially hung around for days and sometimes weeks so whatever the direction of attack, it was not only possible back then, but probably the most likely set up.
Frustratingly it’s now the complete opposite.

Annoying to see that once again, one posters gain is another ones loss with a band of snow that be driven across in a matter of an hour.
what it is with weather fronts in this damn country that they can barely be regional, never mind country wide when on the other side of the pond they give major dumplings that’s stretch across hundreds of miles.
It’s not like we don’t have plenty of ocean to tap into but we never seem to have a weather system that ends up any more than a local affair.
Anyway I think I’ll keep out of the mad thread.

Problem is that a lot of them think it is their regional thread.
great to see them wanting a low to “correct” north though.
