I quite like graupel. When I was in Tallinn I witnessed a heavy graupel shower. It was like someone had opened a bean bag on my head ?

wait until tomorrow to say that, it is not due until this evening and monday morning:cold:

I understand his pain.

The mod charts were looking great 4 days ago. I feel we are always looking at great charts 7 days away and they never turn to fruition.

We just need the cards to fall in our favour for once.

The problem seems to be not cold enough yet on the contient. ( plus sst are a little higher than the norm.

I dont want to keep hearing end of Feb  Time is ticking... the sun on Thursday last week had real warmth.

Its got to hapoen now.

The fact the SSTs are above average will work in our favour with convection so essentially the uppers do not need to be as cold there’s still a big gradient, however increases chance of it being sleety near the coast.

Expect the unexpected.....

Agree 100%, and they are the best type of snowfalls at the end of the day. Some places will do ok, slightly higher ground say above 50/100m, away from the immediate coast line, and where streamers set up, we have one now in Kent but I think its mainly wet. 

This chart could be close to the mark, with a few areas further west getting a dusting too.:)

I have to say with a very heavy heart that I don’t know if this is going to be as good as first hoped(I could be very very very wrong) I’m hoping that I will be very much but I’m just not sure. Sorry everyone. Things just keep being downgraded not upgraded it’s making me very sad :sorry:

I also think you’ll do OK. As long as your expectations are realistic, as we don’t appear to be looking at a 2010 type event.

My guess is somewhere like Wadhurst might be the “sweet spot”.

Exactly. And you cant make a snowman wth sleet. Do agree though it can ^ does work in our favour usually.

I think we're starting to see the first signs of showers pepping up/becoming a little more widespread out in the North Sea now. With temps dropping and dew points widely below freezing, I think the fun is about to start

Indeed!

I’m not in a favoured area due to my location further west, but I’m about 90 metres above sea level here.

This will make you laugh... Or cry... Off of euro storm forecast.... 

This moisture plume remains decoupled from steeper mid-level lapse rates and hence only a low-end thunderstorm risk is forecast. This seems to be an heavy snowfall event for NE-Spain and convective elements could exaggerate the final snowfall amounts.

90m is pretty good going, I wish I lived a bit higher up, ideally above 100m.

 

Radar now showing some heavier stuff out in the North Sea.:)

You need a 'Graupelator'...It looks a lot like the Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope (it's the same size!) but has a hole in the middle!:good:

You watch that start to band and align into streamers soon.

Well I had my little drive up to Potters Bar to pick up the new puppy. Lovely and sunny with the temp about 6c until I got to Snodland on the way back and the wind picked up and the sky darkened with sleet showers.

I do have to say that the sky has taken on that very pretty orange tinge in it before it snows (hope that’s a thing, it is in my house) is that a real thing??? Be very interested to find  It if it is????? sorry to be a party  Pooper I do very much hope for snowy weather. I really really hope that everyone else will get some snow I know how excited I’m getting so I can imagine how everyone else is feeling. I have to say I’m trying to be very grown up about this whole snowy business but to be honest I feel like a child on Christmas Eve.:santa-emoji:

In case I don’t see any snow over the next few days, this was the scene when I left Tallinn. 

The aircraft still departed even though the taxi ways and the runway was covered in snow.

Hope your right, fingers crossed. If some of these bands start to clip the Essex coast line then we are in business as they usually then move in towards London but getting them to west of London is the hard bit.
