Radar currently showing heavy precipitation on the east coast, can anyone tell me if it's just rain ?

It's currently raining here, quite moderately. And the temperature keeps going up and down between 3.5c-4c. 

So no snow here.

Hi! I'm an eastbournian born and breed and while I was still there, a forecast came on the telly for snow. I said to my now hubby 'Don't worry it never snows here' and we woke up to 6 inches the next morning. Keep the faith!

Hi. I've definitely got my fingers crossed.

Who does the blinking CH4 weather? Man with a stupid sounding voice just showed London as rain on Tuesday and dry on Wednesday, leaving out the crucial overnight period.

So annoying!

MeteoGroup provides the data, but the supposed meteorologists at CH4 are meant to calculate and put charts together in time for a televised forecast............Liam Dutton is on CH4 too. He spends most of his time tackling the tabloids especially the Daily Express

Haha I bet Guy Fawkes is blowing that Low Pressure South, him and Darren Bent absolutely hate any idea of snow and cold in the Uk

You're wrong about Darren Bent, Paul - he could send the ball so high it'd come back down with snow on it!

I have been there, 18 Dec 2010... just as we got to the station the Mrs phoned me up Arsenal v Stoke postponed it could of been worse we could of been on the train.

I don’t think the game would be cancelled but not keen on being stuck on a train heading south, we all know how well they handle snow

I’m not getting excited yet I’ll wait for 00z UKMO people talking about 10-20cm for now expect nothing a few CM at most seems fairly good for a lot of us. Sweet spot intensity probably will brush coast.

[Methuselah]

It's brill up here, this evening: 4.6C, driving drizzle and a 39mph WNW'erly gale. Does that count as a 'drizzard'?

Can sense @Steve Murr is going to be doing one of his picture charts. Looks like my place Crowborough could be the sweet spot 

[Froze were the Days]

Got out of the MOD thread...shot to ribbons and never had so many people quote me saying I was talking rubbish  - we'll see if my thoughts come to fruition but they are very 'anti-mild' or anything against the contrary as if a number of them weren't wrong a week or so ago!

After so many times of those snowy charts going tits up and their predictions being complete garbage, they should have some respect for other people's opinions.

The floor in there seems to be littered with eggshells. Didn’t realise how volatile people can get after 7pm on a Sunday evening

Every night it seems to kick-off. Fun to read anyway

Well you will get the settling snow before me. You know Crowborough is known for its micro climate and does very well with snowfall.

[leemondo]

I live in Crowborough too, but now I work here snow is less lovely as I can still get to work! lol

I mentioned the possibility of det runs being more consistent showing mild towards day 9/10 and !!!!!!!...all hell let lose towards me :)...unless you back up your thoughts with numerous ensembles, clusters or anomaly charts your deemed as an idiot which to be honest after this fatigue ridden winter I couldn't be bothered...as said it's not as if many in there haven't backed up there thoughts and still been wrong (last week or so).

ICON-EU is showing 1cm cumulative snowfall for Brighton by 6pm Wednesday maybe that is the starting bid ! 

Nothing is impossible when it comes to the weather!

Ah who remembers the snow cup a few years ago, ?now that was fun , can't remember who did all the hard work keeping records, I remember going outside with my tape measure and taking a photo, and bloody froze and still lost , plus think there was cheating going on, how naughty

What do you expect when you say this:

Well the models are firming up on becoming mild to very mild in day 10 and beyond

How many models go out to day 10?
How many of them show cross-model agreement at day 10?

At the moment, it's impossible to get cross-model agreement past day 2.

You asked for that one i'm afraid.
