At this stage the Apps will give an indication of where the front will be in our area locally (and thats pretty much our entire region) the intricacies of ppn type and intensity will be a now cast scenario.

We always moan, question and interrogate our app symbols to the death whenever a potential snow event is looming (I’m the same). 

But at this close range all we need to do is watch the Radar for approach and longevity and then watch the window for how good (or bad) things are playing out IOBY

This is a sane post. Frankly, i wish those app symbols disappeared. People fixate on oh no my snow symbol has turned sleet

It's just some computer auto churning them out. Let's just enjoy it, no matter what happens

Left out the GFS because it's a complete outlier.

Just remember, when it starts get away from the computers and get out and enjoy people 

Someone somewhere on my street is going to think I'm a lunatic being out in the snow at night. Do I care?

Really interesting to see the Met Office graphics displaying snow even over the Channel which is more optimistic than the publicly visible models - Euro4 closest.

Considering the frontal position looks no further south, I figure evaporative cooling must be the defining factor. Models have shortfalls there, some more than others. I remember how much GFS has been laughed at over that in the past - but that was last relevant here way back in 2013; successful events since then have been entirely surface cold driven.

So tomorrows a different mechanism for widespread snowfall to what we’ve become usd to dealing with, at least locally to me. Makes it harder to construct personal anticipation as to what tomorrow will bring, but seeing the snow line out over the sea in this graphics has made me the most optimistic I’ve been since the event came into view. I’m about 20 miles inland.

Yes James I watched the in depth met office video about tomorrow and was also pleasantly surprised to the my corner of Dorset at the epicenter of things with snow forming over the channel and repeatedly moving up over me.

18z Icon puts my area in the 1-5cm zone similar to Fergie's earlier forecast. Would be hoping for a bit more, to be honest

AWD did warn earlier, also about a possible split front. (Was that the Icon 12Z? can't remember).

It's all a nowcast anyway but at least we're in the centre of the game.

This is accumulative snow totals out to 40hrs

Jay will be happy with that!  I'll probs wait up for the 18z EURO4 tonight and then end up sleeping I haven't had much sleep past week or so waiting up for the 00z's most nights  then up again for the 06z's. Tomorrow is finally crunch time.

Has there been a HIRLAM update does anybody know? Wasn't that the best performing model last March?

That’s a great post/twitter extract from Ian.

Just highlights how, in a complex winter synoptic regime Det/Op runs are not to be take to literally.

Latest ICON gives over 5 hours of ppn of which 2 are of wintery stuff in my location obviously. More interest for central southerners the 18z run suggested the front would reactivate on Friday giving more snow.

That was the 12z EURO4 model, which conincedentally, Ian highlighted in his Points West forecast earlier.

Still, we are all in a good position tomorrow, and we have every chance of seeing a covering of snow.

Looks good for most of you  seem to be right on the edge of every predicted snow map in Exeter - is this because it’s slightly too close to the coast or is there a chance we will also see some of the white stuff settle?
