I wouldn't pay much heed to meto or bbc especially till this afternoon, it is in nobodies interest to call snow if they are not relatively certain, they probably want another run or two to make that call.

Hi everyone

  what an awfully bland and dismal morning here in Thanet (no change there some would say), anyway a total lack of snow this winter so far and looks to stay that way possibly as over on the mod thread there are people writing of this cold spell by next weekend and back to milder air, time will tell if they are correct, oh well back to the window watching and fingers crossed !!!

It was literally a 3 minute shower. The radar was showing a very light area of precip. Blink and you missed it. Still I got to say.... I saw a few flakes  :)

This weeks prospects now 2/10 from a 3/10

If Steve Murr says that the SE is right in the snow zone for Wednesday, then it will be

I can't recall the last thing he got wrong

Keep the faith, it's coming

Purely looking at data fed to METO iPhone app (at this time), seems locations like Hitchin, Dunstable well placed for Wednesday morning, from this regions perspective and IMHO.

I think Steve Murr is top notch, sticks his neck out with detailed posts that are against the thoughts of many other respected posters but sticks to his guns. I have learnt more from him than lets say Tamara as I cannot compute that language.

 

From my observations SM is the UK`s Joe Bastardi, goes against the grain but with substance to back it up.

 

Anyway John in response to your post, he also said he expected a shift/correction SW which would make the SE more marginal? so hopefully he will clarify today. I presume it is the potential wrap around from the channel low.

 

Ugh, I feel ill.

I take more notice of Steve's posts than I do anyone else's tbh

He called Feb 2009 streamer absolutely perfectly, 24hrs before he also said the town where the sweet spot would be and how much the region would get, a day before the met even put out a red warning, sure enough the totals he predicted were near enough spot on and the Downs of Banstead, his sweet spot, got 17"

Steve should be chief forecaster of the Met

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the apps, they are ok as a guide but for me recently it's been wrong upto about 6hrs prior especially on the rare times it has shown a snow symbol.

Nice to see some witnessing a flake or two :-)

Now for a look at the MO thread :-P

In fairness METO predictive PPN which you can find within their app is pretty useful and a decent guide. Albeit yes like any prediction doesn't mean it is 100%.
