By the way - anyone notice the trend on the ec suite to build a ridge of sorts to our east day 10/11 with the trough stalling ???  Could we do it all again ??? Unlikely ..........

I actually do think we will get another potent(ish) cold spell before this springter is out but for me much more likely a N to N'ely with Greeny height rises.

Can anyone indicate how this is likely to compare with 1 March for snowfall levels, particularly at Leeds Bradford airport which I'm due to fly out from Saturday lunchtime. Eek!

Is it a coincidence that this beasterly has evolved very similar to the last with the exception of the preceding high pressure on part 1. Much like sliders correcting South West should we expect Easterlies in future to correct North.

It's good to see most in with a chance over my birthday weekend. I'm in Wales and gutted as I live in sweet spot but should see some on Sunday on my return. I have to say I do quite well for snow on my birthday, despite many saying it's too late for snow, poppycock ❄⛄❄

Slightly off topic but in terms of "sun strength" as we all know the further north we go the weaker the sun so here is a little info comparing sun height when beast 1 hit compared to beast 2. I've used dates of 1st and 17th March for comparison -

Brighton 31.7 & 37.9

Birmingham 30.1 & 36.3

Hull 28.8 & 35.0

Newcastle 27.6 & 33.8

Dundee 26.1 & 32.3

Lerwick 22.4 & 28.6

 

So we can see that by the 17th the the sun strength Newcastle northwards is just marginally stronger than it was in the south during beast 1, so for these areas any snowfall shouldn't melt off that quickly, in fact we still have lying show in my coastal area of Northumberland from beast 1 where it drifted.

Yes, to me that's what the models look like they're hinting at to me.

Whatever the outcome, Spring is well and truly struggling to stay afloat for the foreseeable future.

Looks like a correction north so a disaster for us in the Channel Islands. Get the impression the low in north France is going to push up and will now move the main snow along the south England coast.

I do believe you got an informative response on the regional to this:)

Seems a lot  like beast 1, Alderney had the best snow, just that few miles North made a big difference.

ICON at T54, liking the divergence between the 1005 and 1000 isobars here:

And the cold well in place, well we know that by now:

And still looking good at T69:

Yup. Even Guernsey was split in 2. 10cm where I live, 4 miles south had 2cm. Alderney got 20+cm. 

Sleet now forecast and what a waste of space sleet is

GFS coming in to line with Icon, a tiny tiny correction North already at T18.

You can see here the big change in the UKMO from yesterday evening.

So this is yesterdays T120hrs chart:

UN120-21.thumb.gif.098899d0f446bc32dc3056daf28c6b23.gif

The high over the UK is already being pulled sw as it links up with the Azores high, the red arrow denotes the colder continental sourced air with lower dew points.

Now if you compare that to todays chart for T96hrs:

UN96-21.thumb.gif.2ffc4d22173ca951cdf7ba7a0a5c417f.gif

The high over the UK  is centred further to the nw, more low heights to the sw stopping the quicker sinking, you'll also note upstream the change in the trough shape, theres also a bit more dig sw over the ne USA. The more continental sourced air has moved north denoted by the red arrow.

The strat reversal although nothing like the degree of the previous strat warming is expected I think in around 4 days time. So as we've seen the models aren't that great in projections after that point. Volatility this time is likely to be less but I think a few more runs are needed to see whether we can extend the cold a bit further.

 

 

I agree the low heights to the SW stop the high above us sinking but surely the strat warming in 4 days won’t be quick enough to effect the trop in the timeframe needed to impact this cold snap. That would be an extremely quick response. Interested if you think it could be that quick.

But a fair way south to have the same solution by 54-( V the IKON) no correction North.

Infact lots & lots of snow for the south overnight sat into Sun..

Yes - it didn't materialise, Yes, the South is going to do very well out of this, more modest returns further North unless that frontal event Friday evening delivers, always a chance of streams peppering anywhere though

Doubt it has anything to do with that, more to do with the cold block forcing the low south,  if this new synoptic gains traction, would prolong the cold spell, early days, signal may drop again, or firm up.

Very small margins now, but GFS has lower pressure at t72 into the south than the previous run, can only increase snow potential for many I'd think, 18z:

How come this show lots of snowfall in Scotland when we’ve only been forecast the odd shower? Is there a chance that the Forcasts are well off the mark?

Yup, perfectly placed for a snow event here in Southampton... won't feel too dissimilar to the 1st March with the cloud cover, strong winds and a fair chance of an ice day.

Obviously GFS is poor at picking up convection but I think NE England looks good for Sunday as well. Saturday looks good for widespread convective snow showers too. Whilst Friday's front could also be quite active at times as it moves back down south.
