Popular Post Captain Shortwave Posted February 25, 2018 Location: Peterborough Weather Preferences: Snow and frost in the winter. Hot and sunny, thunderstorms in the summer. Location: Peterborough Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) So this is it, the end of winter. Time to look forward to Spring..... Wait, what's this? Apparently not. So for the time being, we will remain as one for this cold spell. Plenty of potential for substantial snowfall, initially from the east and maybe later from fronts from the south. Possibly 10-20cm up to early Thursday, no point talking about depths for the front later on Thursday but if it does arrive like the UKMO there there could be real carnage. Anyway, best of luck for everyone in the region. Just a request please, be civil as per the usual notions of showers some will get a lot more than others over the coming days. There is no point in arguing or point scoring here. Just sit back and watch the snow pile in of the north sea in a fashion we haven't seen in years.

Due to the nature of showers/streamers some may be disappointed, some will be overjoyed. However I think you’d be very unlucky in our region to at least not get a cm or 2.

If a Thames Streamer does setup this place is going to go mental with all the London/Kent/Essex etc posters Given that most places will get a couple of centimetres over the coming days then I think no one will be overly disappointed this time around. At the moment it looks like areas with 20 of the coast in general along with areas close to favourable spots for streamers. Wash/Thames look the best to supply streamers but many locations with a shout of decent totals for snow and these charts will not be that accurate either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
