Wonder how soon Exeter will put on warnings for snow showers for Monday which is already in range.

Can't back it up or prove it,but i was around in 87 and this as 87 all over it.

weird vibe to the weather at the moment. The strengthening sunlight and blue skies are giving me a proper spring feeling, but obviously we know what's just around the corner.

Doubt we will see anything before Sat evening in terms of region specific snow warnings, they'll need to be sure of flow/small features etc - look at the FAX charts for an idea of their thinking.  Generalised cold and ice warnings probably a lot sooner.

So which ever way you hack it a vile period of weather for both years.

When will the BBC put a news article on the incoming severe cold spell based on further stonking model output so far ? Sky and ITN have long since smelt the coffee. ??

Looking at some of those wind-chill values, time to crack out the t-shirt & shorts. heh

Watch out for the post-people - postal workers next week, strolling around in their shorts

Talk about freezing flesh

In Essex parlence, that UKMO is 'taters. Throw it on the pile with the rest of them!

If this were bog-standard cold weather at the end of February I'd be cursing about now, but this very much looks like turning into something not seen here since I were a lad. If it pans out per today's output, synoptically something you'll see here only a handful of occasions in a lifetime. At this time of year, possibly only once.

As a lover of photography, there could be some amazing opportunities for shots around the country next week.

Especially if you get over the A12 and walk along the river towards Papermill Lock, I've got some amazing photographs of the area from past winters!

 

Opps sorry I shouldn't probably have posted comment on this feed.

No problem, you could start at the Fox and Raven, you will come to a part of the river where there are lots of canal boats moored too.

If its going to be as cold as predicted, Sambuca or Brandy!  Or you could probably put a nip in a hip flask to warm the cockles!

And back in the room!

I heard a rumour its going to be chilly soon....so I thought I'd pop back in

My attention was particularly drawn to predicted precipitation a week on Saturday lol

Zoom to the UK, change the date to Wednesday mid-day, select 850hpa temperatures, scroll through the various 50 members and enjoy!

busiest time on here tends to be 10-11pm, but still expect forum on and off really for next 2 weeks, anytime of day

Worth noting that morning and evening rush hours are in daylight in March, which should help.  Personally I hated 2010 much more than 2013 because I was on a Pennine road every day at 6 am in the dark.  Scary as hell, I couldn't see the front of my car let alone the nearest farmhouse.

For obvious reasons a whole set of posts have gone, this isn't and never has been an area for digging at other members.

Think I'm going to have to go collecting wood for the fires in the next few days !

[BLAST FROM THE PAST]

BBC weather.....a disgrace.  Thin wedge of Eastern seaboard seeing very mild, most of N America in the freezer but they talk of NYC mild/warmth.  Classic propaganda as the layman will say.....really warm in America.  Shte

 

BFTP.

Confused about the temps being shown for next week. For my location, it shows for example, - 1c daytime max for next Wednesday. Fair enough, but it has night time lows either side of it as - 3c. 

That would make last night colder than any night next week.
