Disappointed to see the latest BBC weather forcast for the week ahead has downgraded our snow for Thursday compared to the earlier forecast posted today..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/

Personally I think the BBC forecasts have been very poor recently.

 

For starters the polar low incident! At 18.30 the BBC were predicting snow for Wales, SW England when many of us said the snow would be much further E because the NAE got the track of the LP wrong. Now what annoyed me is at 10.30 they continued to predict snow for Wales when rain was being reported.

 

We then had last night's forecast at 10.30 when the BBC never even mentioned the snow that was falling much further SW than predicted.

 

Basically the gist of what im saying is when it comes to nowcasting I find the BBC very poor and slow to react. Rather than sticking to the script the presenters should just do the basics of looking at the radar or even sticking their heads out of the window!

I honestly don't think they are even close to sure what will happen. We have all seen the sudden awakening of the easterly before, the sudden streamer cropping up and so on. 


Those blobs coming in over EA are on a direct course for Medway.

Right off to bed.

 

My expectations tonight is for a band of more organised snow showers to spread across Cambs, Norfolk between 3-6am which could push S into Suffolk, Essex. However my current thinking is many of these showers will weaken once they move inland and may only survive inland around 30-60 miles from the coast.

Wow, just wow, woke up and looked out and couldn't believe what I was seeing! Heavy heavy snow, the whole garden white and looking as though someone had thrown a pure white blanket over it. But hold on, why is there a horse over in the corner apparently drinking a cup of coffee, why does my garden look only half the size it actually is and where's my shed gone!!??

Bl**dy dreams! Grrrr...... 😒

Just noticed that this is my 300th post, considering I joined the forum in Feb 2005, not exactly prolific am I?😊

So glad I had a night off radar watching and got a good night's sleep....Good Morning Britain are really hyping up the cold weather because of this met office weather warning. So over the top. They have reporters dotted over the country...the one in Beverley where they have 3cm of snow said it's the "beast from the East" that's causing all the problems. How misinformed can they all be lol. And one of the lady reporters from Lancaster said "I'll show you how cold it is today" held up the thermometer "it showed 1c" laughable!

Grey and frosty this morning. Looking like a dull day with the potential of snow flurries inland and perhaps heavier wintry showers around the coasts (especially Norfolk)

 

Or it could rain everywhere  :sorry:

The weather forecasters this morning are pretty adamant that it will only be rain (and possibly sleet) today. Potential to turn to snow tonight though with a possible covering in places. Thursday night again has potential.
