Showers showing iInland on mets charts..COME ON SURPRISE 2 FEET SNOW Wishful thinking..

[Coast]

Looks like the emphasis is on the far East of our region if it's going to happen? I still can't find any charts to give us a dusting let alone a big dump, maybe it's just best to wait and see now?

They will never reach Surrey from this wind direction, better to have a direct easterly!

Yes and I think JP will confirm that the model suite confusion is adding even more reasons for us model readers to be confused.

FI hasn't moved much over the last 48 hours with Thursday still being the date at which the models haven't got a clue.

I know..I was wishful thinking -.-

You may end up getting a stray wintery shower, or at best a flurry!

Sorry neighbour, that article really says nothing at all of any use to anyone!!!! Joking aside, we would all have a lot of 'meteorological egg' on our faces if it turned out like that this week in our region. We should also throw away all the model and charts systems and get back to pine cones and seaweed!

But I live in hope (oh, and just down from Stone Cross!! )

Lol yeh I hope so If I don't get any snow this side of the new year..It really does not fuss me.. Jan and Feb are our Months usually...And that low on Thursday night/Friday looks...WINDY!

[gottolovethisweather]

As if to back up our feelings, have a gander at the attached.

<T+96 appears to be FI at this stage, the ensembles of course will back up this idea.

I suspect there is a better way of doing the above but you should get the gist of it.

Before Thursday/Friday, enjoy the rest of the week, radar watch, Fax Chart watch and above all, have fun.

As I understand things, this is basically showing what they mean with regards to undercutting lows. The GFS and ECM in particular, showing a better approach from the darn low, at least for this region in the short-term.

Nearest I will come to flurry is nipping down to our local McDonald's

Not too bad Thursday, maybe breezy on Friday?

I'm interested to see what develops in a convective way towards the end of this week:

Backwards and forwards as models want!!

I think any gusts or wind are further ahead yet, even for the SW?

[chmape]

i think we will get a beast of a flake if we are lucky!

whenever they 'get it wrong' they just go quiet but this time it's just funny!

(oh, and just down from Stone Cross!! )

i live by the castle!

[Coast]

i live by the castle!

Ah yes, a lovely place!

Some big differences too, when looking at things from a global perspective.

Still confirms as if it is needed that Thursday/Friday is not a done deal, yes the atlantic looks like coming in but when and how needs to be determined.

i always remember that road past the church that's where i live! i'm lucky the fire-station put grit down though , and you can't beat the castle in snow

Is it more exciting when something is definitely coming, or at points like this, when we still just don't know?

Thats the spirit, plenty of months to go until spring comes around, i expect there will be many more surprises which appear at short notice such as Last Wednesday

I hope so, like again..The models have done a crap job forecasting the showers coming of the North sea..

Don't know that I would describe this winter's model-watching so far as 'exciting' - unless you find having your fingernails pulled out one by one 'exciting'...It is compulsive though!

[gottolovethisweather]

I suppose excitement due to the weather can come from many different angles I guess. For the moment, IMBY, it would suggest a rather boring setup developing but who knows and the weather changes every day with every run and will never please everyone, but I am enjoying every minute of it.
