Just thought I would peek in here to see all the sheer delight/joy and light hearted banter...wish I had not bothered! :rofl:

What is going on in here!? @Rapodo just relax mate, can’t see much wrong with the attached outlook? :snowman-emoji::cold-emoji:

Southern Britain looks good to me - you have to be in it to win it. :D

Have a good day all!

Biggest lesson for me over all this never tell anyone you know and sort yourself out only. People's attitudes are not worth the hassle.

I am the same, have tried to warn folks, but just getting laughed at..

Just looking through the charts, my bet is Tuesday being our best chance for more organised snow showers/streamers hitting our region. From the get go. 

Virtual bet placed! 

After that, we could hit the jackpot, but we’ve got a lot of fun to look forward to before that. I always enjoy the chase anyway, as we will have endless banter and Gin!! :drunk:

Well thats a complete backtrack to what was said a couple of days ago so confirms my point even more. No idea why everyone is liking this post when it clearly stated only two days ago to expect significant snow fall yes it says significant towards end of the week but that's now being viewed as unlikely with it heading to France. Hope that's wrong and we get paisted myself but I'm just trying to be more realistic now.

You are confusing risk with expect! There lies the issue :hi:

But, you're not being realistic, you're acting as if the weather owes you something?! The reality is, we have deep cold setting in next week, and increasing risk of wintry showers which will mainly be of snow. There is a greater risk of something more significant towards the end of next week. Karlos  is correct, you're getting your expectations and risks completely muddled! 

If i'm honest, I don't know if your trying to troll or that you don't like people's excitement in this thread? Don't take that comment personally. I just can't fathom out your purpose in your replies.

There was no uncertainty 2 days ago hence all the ranting n raving with them clearly saying the south and east to be worse hit. How you can't see this is a downgrade for southern and western counties is beyond me. It's back to hopecasting again. Do I think we'e see snow in the air next week yeah I do but I'm not convinced at all now we're get anything major yet. As ever more runs needed.

As the large potential snow event has now come into range on the NetwX MR model, I was intrigued to have a look. Can safely say I'm in shock and as unlikely and unpredictable it is to forecast as far ahead as Thursday.

We're looking in excess of 18 hours of snow and as the rain to snow ratio is approximately 1:6, we're looking at 15cm+, likely much more.

Just for fun tho and taking with a massive pinch of salt but interesting nevertheless given no marginality.

I'l be radar watching loads and really hope we get it I was very positive yesterday that we would get a battering today I've had a big wobble and not so sure. If we can't get a decent event in this set up then when can we. For now it's hopecasting till we hit reliable timeframe.
