That is where I am putting my eggs currently. While METO still saying some snowfall in this area overnight Thursday it really looks like much of nothing. The Easterly is the king for Kent.

Agree easterly is the one for me too - though that can be frustrating too watching streamers set up just to pass us by. That said our location in north kent always tends to fair well from that set up.

I'm hopeful for 5cm's from this event Thursday for our locations

If we hit 5cm Thursday I owe you a drink. I will be shocked to see anything over a dusting.

Forget the drink, just race him down Blue Bell Hill in a sledge....make the most out of the 5cm

Awww  straight Northerly gets my goat, watching every shower cross the Suffolk border and fade, unless of course you can get a belter of a wind.

06z toying again, i do think they know somethings there, they just don't quite know what, i tend to think its more likely to see something suddenly jump out in a 120-168 period.

Yeah straight northerlies without some oomph are a waste of space unless you live in Norfolk! I actually meant a NEE wind for here is the jackpot direction. As you say seen many 20cm falls from that. 

Defo something brewing with regards to HLB into the next week. The Siberian high has been meandering with intent

06Z not looking good for Kent, though North of London could be in for some fun Thursday night. 

I never get too excited about this kind of pattern, it never seems to do well in Kent. Hopefully as we move into Feb we get some Easterly flow and a chance of a real snowfall.

Ignore the GFS on this one, its done such a BAD job thus far with this system. Literally the last one to finally clock that its not going north of the Midlands! When a model is behind the curve like this, it tends to require less in the way of notice.

Euro4 upto 48hrs showing the band stalling out, though it actually has sleet/rain for eastern parts of E.Anglia, but for the south, NW and west this still looks great on the uro4.

Yes with cold easterlies which are not that common.

This area doesn’t do well out of North Westerlies, clearly. 

If you want snow in the UK you are better off living north of Manchester, where a snow fall is semi frequent and guaranteed every winter. 

This is what frustrates me about folk that live up north, they regularly just get snow showers or a brief covering whereas even getting that down south can be very rare yet they moan they don’t get snow much!

Another shift South and even parts of North-Kent could miss out

This *was* a North midlands event a few days ago..

I am from a Northern area of the UK. We do get snowfall every year but it is only for a few days per winter on average.

I have noticed the lack of snow here and the fuss the locals make when it does snow.

Reason to be slightly more optimistic in the 06z for Thursday, still sticking with its guns in taking the front up towards Lincolnshire before it pivots away. That would certainly deliver a good covering for most in EA/South East. 

I like the GFS take on an easterly next week - there are good signals for this, and its a good time of year for an easterly to set up. That said, won't necessarily mean snow for the likes of us in Cambs, the streamers don't tend to favour our spots! But I wouldn't complain

Cautiously optimistic here in Haywards Heath - on the border of W/E Sussex, about ten miles inland. Not exactly prime location for snow usually but tomorrow night’s setup looks like it might work for us. Is it looking inevitable that it will turn to rain here later on though?

MetO Have Updated The Snow & Ice Yellow Weather Warning

While this could in some situations be seen as 'the country is getting a lot of snow' I think this is more a case of 'we don't know what is going on'

That doesn’t happen often. It is a slush fest most winters.

 

When Mother Nature picks on me whilst chasing Tornadoes in the Spring I go outside cry a bit throw a tantrum esp when the Tornado happens on a storm 50 miles South of me 

What I am getting at is with Ma Nature it's not personal every event is different and it's pot luck where the Lps go and where the Precip falls 

You are sounding hard done by and you really are not as Dan says parts of Norfolk had just under a foot from an Easterly 11 months ago

Euro4 looks like its just about the southern most of the models along with the ICON. I think personally that's a touch too far south now and a track closer to the ARPEGE is more likely. But we will see, won't be long before we can radar watch!

Indeed - For my own snow risk map I've gone further North than the EURO4 too using a blend of ECM/ARPEGE/HIRLAM

A fan of the 6z GFS now are you Steve? tentative signs of what the UKM extended outlook have been hinting at.

Also, the CMA & GEM models have been showing an Easterly flow as well , but not in their latest runs though  On the other hand, the NASA model is going for an Easterly flow on their latest model output

Encouraged that METO still have the better Northerly extent for this regional thread, at least in revised warning. May suggest as a couple of models do that it may push through just a little more.

But we shall see.
