Looking east from my house, the clouds building over the southern north sea/Thames estuary - nothing too get excited about just yet, but a good sign of early instability ;-)

Goes along with the thought of many people buried in snow :yahoo:

Ties in nicely with my thoughts last night, with the low passing south of the Channel Islands and then ENE through the Cherbourg Peninsular.

Heading out for a walk on the Ashdown Forest later this morning. Should be stunning up there so will try and post some photo’s.

With regards to this week, I’m sure a lot of us will see some snow, though I know from personal experience how frustrating showers can be. Nov 2010 I was 8 miles too far inland and missed a “channel clipper” and then a couple of days later was 5 miles too far south to miss a Kent streamer.

End of the week could go either way but I’m sure some of the best snowfalls on record have come from these set ups. The MO are not making any mention of the dreaded “rain or sleet” at the moment which is encouraging.

The other thing that strikes me with the long term update is that they’re still seeing very cold easterlies beyond next weekend. Am I right in thinking that would suggest the low heading east across Northern France and towards Benelux rather than northwards?

Bbc are really smelling the coffee now, they are suggesting a wind chill factor of -15C!

have a look at the satellite images-

https://en.sat24.com/en/gb

you can see light cloud forming in the thames estuary and also a little 'stream' of cloud moving into london. the cloud currently in the channel is due to the even higher SST's there-

once the colder air moves in, we should see even more cloud forming. this is what will cause the convection and (hopefully) streamers in the coming hours and days.

Those members getting anxious about the end of next weeks possible snow event should relax. Not only are recent GFS/ECM outputs likely to change being so far out (T+120) but by then the UK will be entrenched in bitterly cold surface temperature's which are notoriously difficult to budge once established. Look at it this way. We will be starting with maximum surface temperature's (end of next week) at or below freezing. Every km ^ the temperature drops by 6.5C. 850hpa is 1.5km ^, so the temperature will be 10C less than the surface, so roughly -10C. Then add in this morning's less cold 850hpa temperatures for next Friday (+8C). It will still mean what falls from the sky will be snow........ALL the way up. NO rain. To add thickness levels will be perfect for some really heavy snowfalls.

Anyway, we have lots of snowfall to nowcast before then...... pointless looking at the snow forecast charts from now on. Better off watching the radar and satellite for real developments or looking at the latest FAX outputs.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it correct south further though. The ICON is a higher res model, so it ‘should’ be more accurate at that range.

Great spot, I am able to see what look like a line of higher cloud in the distance, makes sense it would be along the Thames where the higher temperature differential would be.

Morning

Low overnight -1.4c, now -0.4c with a dew point of -4c. Still quite windy so our walk shortly will be a cold one!

Really hoping to see enough snow to have at least one snow day this week (although I’ve a feeling work expect me to walk in from the hills to work over 3 miles each way - downhill there and uphill back!) and wait for everyone’s updates throughout the day!

Good luck today @TomSE12

this is a quick photo looking south east and shows the clouds overhead the Thames estuary
