Not sure how up to date, or even if I've got the relevance of this right, but the 850 upper wind direction for midnight shows maybe why there appears to be more of a shunt east than was first thought

If that's right it should come all the way over to here . now that would be a surprise, I expect it to be rain here though, sea temps and all that

I have my fingers crossed always think northamptonshire strange place we can miss out a lot. But we can also get some good dumping s of snow when others dont

true.  we have had some good snow in the past years apart from the last 3 winters so hopefully we might get lucky again this winter?  it seems we either get a good snowfall or miss it altogether unless there is a north easterly or easterly event.

From around 8:30-9:30 pm eyes on the Northamptonshire down around east Oxfordshire. .in regards to front edge pepping..and also crucial alignment for those further eastern counties. .given that the main functional band is set for the region later.....However would like to see the anitial pep up' on leading/mid band edge around times above. .for any purposeful ground accumulation!

Would love to see scenes like this again, is 2010 possible again? We live in hope

The panic in here at 6:30pm is quite amusing! 

Both MET & BBC show the main bulk of ppn over us at midnight - nearly 6 hours away! 

If nothing's happening then - Panic away 

I remember the met forecasting heavy snow one Sunday evening when I was a kid (within 12 hours) so I decided not to do my homework. Woke up and it was raining and ended the day with detention. That is why I'm always sceptical lol

pink over me, but nothing falling, can even see the moon, be it though thin cloud

Oh I'm totally with you. I'm always sceptical when snow is forecast. 

Just feel is still to early in the evening for everyone throwing toys worrying about ppn. Midnight looks good for our area. 5 hours away. 

[laurenx]

Been watching the radars on and off all day today.

I really would like to see some snow tonight!

Fingers crossed you never know. Just a snowflake settling would be something

Hey

I have been hibernating but have been lurking in the MOD thread for ages, having nothing useful to say whatsoever... 

 

 

Sounds like me! Have been lurking and learning for 4 years and have only today started posting just in time for you to come out of hibernation! Hope you had a nice sleep? I'm sure you are doing yourself a diservice and have plenty to say, therefore, go for it! Everyone seems very friendly here?! I'm still not confident enough to post on the MOD thread yet, therefore, this thread is a good start to figure out how it all works? ☺

[ReindeerMarmalade]

Stars have disappeared here, which I didn't expect this early. MetO radar still showing heavier precip over me around 2300-0000, but it's a lottery whether it falls as rain or snow or even reaches the ground.

Absolutely, the fact it's freezing outside and we are talking about a possible snowfall later pleases me. Even if it is just a snowflake!

What a difference to the onslaught of the mild wet Atlantic we've endured since the end of October 

[steveh19]

I don't ever get excited down here anymore. Even if snow is forecast here, it usually rains anyway. As you can see from those screenshots of the weather forecast, slither of rain where I am, snow all around. Not getting my hopes up at all. Good luck everyone else.

[lottiekent]

Need an easterly or northeasterly in our region to see proper snowfall. Frontal snow is best but a nice streamer setting up off the English Channel, down the Thames or off the North Sea is good too, preference for which one dependant on your location of course. Like in February 2010! That was awesome.

Earnest here is how I see it. I think Oxford good location.

I think if it makes it east of Peterborough a good indicator of eastern shift. Still don't think it will tbh.

Love this little anecdote!!! However it can also go the other way too - I remember forecasts say Xcm overnight and the next morning would have loads deeper!!x

That's great – thanks. Whereabouts in Chingford are you? Ideally I'd find a station within the Forest itself. It is bizarre that there doesn't seem to be one! 

North Chingford. And yourself?

I'm attempting to load the NetAtMo WeatherMap but ironically the weather might be having an effect on load speed. I do know that there is a NetAtMo owner in The Avenue, Highams Park where Epping Forest is just over the road, but thats as close as I have been able to find. The Met Police Air Support Unit at the top of Lippitts Hill must have a weather station but that's due to close soon.

Not really sure why that's an issue...enough experts here to spot things.
