We can expect a memorable snow event affecting almost the whole country on Tuesday if these precipitation type charts are anywhere near accurate....

Although this is still five days out, the models have been solidly developing these possibilities for several days now and there is a good chance the conditions we actually get will be even more widespread than depicted.  I expect we will all be watching the next couple of runs with great interest....:cold:

Yes backed up by fergies recent tweet  cold and potential disruptive weather on the way

Just a question for those more experienced. 

Why are the bbc still going for N.Westerly sourced air nxt week 

And still have temps in the south between 5&7c  

They are not showing any thing like what the posters on this forum have been showing for the last 12 hrs now.

How can there be temps like there forcasting wth minus 10-12c uppers from a frigid east. ??

Im assuming they have there own mods and are completly disagreeing wth what what the majority of us in here are hoping for & seeing ??

 

Us coldies have a little tendency to ramp just a smidgen:D but in weather terms is still along way in the future. As yet we don't know if gfs/ ukmo is the way forward or the ecm. We will have to watch it unfold as they will and as we get closer to t0 they will start hanging snow on the icicle(meat on the bone)

GFS cold uppers not as deep as the 18z. A lot more 'milder' air around with mild sections.

2m temperatures in most places (except high ground) not that cold, definately not at freezing or below during the day.

??..comments..??..I would've thought that we might have had a day or so with temps at 0c with this set up  given what charts have been popping up in the more 'reliable ' time frame ?

Once the cold air is established, how long will it last??

The GFS from +6 to +198 shows the cold air flooding into Central Europe relentlessly....

ECM at +120 has almost all of Europe under cold air - I can't remember seeing this too often....

This could take some shifting, I suspect, and continue to affect our weather for at least the next two weeks.  February CET could be a low one!!

The current pattern used to occur more often ( but still infrequently) in the sixties and then as now it appears to be down to last minute now-casting,exciting for we snow lovers but just how long can one hold ones breath.I wonder if in the future forecasting techniques will make it possible to give a better accuracy than we have presently.

Are you a comedian?

Any milder air if you could call it that gets squeezed out and energy heads south. There’s nothing mild showing in the more reliable timeframe.

Agreed I've retrieved my towel and eaten huge humble pie.

Excellent models over the last couple of days, I refused to believe until today.

At last the vortex looking a bit out of shape.

As for the comedian well I have to say nick is right.

Seeing the lower heights to our east and south was exactly what was needed.

Ice days look likely snow and ice and this cold air won't be removed as quickly as some might think.

Reloads look like a possibility to.

Interesting that the gem is awful, but the jma screaming northeasterly Easterly.

One thing I have noticed is northerly and especially northeasterly do tend to lead to easterly and normally breakdown comes by getting milder air from the southeast but due to cold air across most of western Europe certainly looks like a bit of a seasonal feel.

Even if it a week to see a real snow event will give me a wintry fix.

Also worth noting that this winter has been much more seasonal.

All good now we wait.

Aye, no "mild" air until at least T+216 on the 00z GFS run. 

I have to say the models have turned around somewhat since yesterday - I was very sceptial after the 12z's yesterday, but things seem to be improving if it's cold you're after. What a turnaround!

^^ -10c line hits Norfolk @75.. 9am Sunday- :)

Maybe I’m missing something probably not, but -10c isotherm is closing in just offshore at T+81.
