Hello all, new the the forum but been browsing for a couple years, haven't been so close to a proper cold spell in years so hoping for the first settling snow on the Sussex coast sinse march 2013! 

[CK1981]

So, now we have both the ECM and GFS bringing the Atlantic in next weekend.

Let’s hope this isn’t a trend!

Anyway, it’ll all look different again in the morning and I think the cold block will put up more of a fight.

Night all ?

Shame they didn't back it up with graphics - just showery rain blobs near the coast. Disruption means a cm or two or even a dusting if it's at rush hour.

Talk of Thames streamers now... Oh boy so much IMBY posting in the mod thread currently, for once the south east looks best placed and people don't like it lol!

Must admit Steve, glad you came along on the mod thread, I was beginning to think it was all over.  So annoying when people post negatively.

Tough they need to be fairer and understand that it's our turn for once

A rain sleet mix on a freezing cold windy walk this morning, could see the random sleet bits in my torch light, woooo hoooo.... blah 

[snowking]

The ECM run over in Weather.us is well worth a look for those of you of a cold persuasion

Plenty of showers feeding in to Kent on Sunday night into Monday, big stalling snow event out West on Tuesday followed by and area of snow moving NW out of the continent (just like the good old days) into Wednesday across much of England. Then another area of snow moving North across us Thursday into Friday, before a snowy breakdown for most away from this region on Saturday - which will almost certainly not be the case come T+0 with things likely to be backed even further west going from past experience.

The first bet to watch is whether Tuesday's front even makes it across the Irish sea - probably 50/50 right now looking at this morning's ECM, whilst the ever progressive GFS has it all the way across to us.

I said it last night over in the model thread but once you get that depth of cold in across anomalously warm seas, big snowy surprises start to occur the closer you get to T+0

A fascinating period incoming

You are going to run a supermarket while people are panic buying milk, bread and supplies for the 90 day seige?
