I was wondering whether the snow prospects have gone pear shaped by now like they usually do.

Well the fog cleared to rain, didn't expect any rain today. Temp up a little 6.1 now. Wind coming from the west.

[Blazerblue]

Now have sleet showers being forecast on the most reliable beeb weather app, I’m so excited

[iceman1991]

So will we get any snow for central southern England I’m up in Salisbury plains which is quite high up desperate for a snowy winter ??

[UxbridgeSnow]

Whoah,the wind has picked up. Very breezy at the mo.

On the third picture why is the fog so dense to the left? Some kind of water source there?

Highly likely SH. Norfolk is riddled with broads (lakes) and the main Norfolk Broads are just to the east of Norwich where Chris, who took the pics, is based.

[MAF]

wow! 16 years to the day on NW. and still remember the old snow watch forum on the beeb. how time flies.

@Steve Murr those were the days!  nuff said  

no moderation, no input from the forecasters, no data. But if it hadn't been as bad as it was @Paul probably wouldn't have started NW. 

seen so many winter model watches since then. enjoyed so many storm chases while i was on night shifts and learnt loads more than i ever imagined.

hope you and yours are all well

oh, and talking of storm chasing. how good it was to keep Paul Sherman and the team out there constantly updated while they were on the road while i was on-line in the office checking radars and conditions along with @The PIT

ho hum, bring on winter  

[jamesgold]

The position of this low on Friday really isn’t decided yet, could we be in for snow? Do we expect it might trend a little further south than the charts today?

[lottiekent]

Morning! Temp has dropped steadily since midnight, now 4.7c

I can’t see us getting any snow in my part of the world at the end of the week, maybe just a little too warm for us looking at the charts. Also, hoping no snow (so against everything I ever want at winter - still sad about the complete lack of snow last winter!) anywhere Friday as I’m driving to Bangor in Wales to collect the eldest daughter from uni (pending a second negative covid test).

After Friday evening however, I’m hoping for The Day After Tomorrow situation

Good luck all for the upcoming cold spell, I hope your Grebes are facing the right way and that the SCOD conditions were met

[Uxbridge90]

Morning all

Looks set to get colder in the coming days and perhaps those over higher grounds will see some settling snow on Friday. Looks unlikely for the majority of us elsewhere but it's a good start.

[weathergeek]

I have snow symbols!!!

Thursdays rain changing to sleet about 11pm and then light snow from 3am to lunchtime Friday!!

Not really expecting much but tbh I'd be over the moon just to see a bit of falling white stuff for the December Christmas vibe!!!xx

[Tom Quintavalle]

Morning all,

I hope I find yourselves and your Families, well.

I have spoken to Malcolm (Blessed Weather), and he has kindly agreed to let me resurrect, my White Xmas, Sammy the Snowman feature.

I'll be using Sammy and his Wife Sharon, to depict the chances of a White Christmas for our Region.

I will start the feature around about 9th December, t384 on the G.F.S. Model.

I will then report on our White Christmas chances every couple of Days, backed up by the ECM/UKMO Models, when Xmas Day appears on their Radar.

I will express our prospects in percentage probability and Betting Odds, certainly more generous than currently available, by your High Street Bookmaker.

Let's hope our loved up frozen couple, have plenty to smile about come Xmas Day.

 

And are not reduced to a melting mess, on the big Day.

Sammy has provisionally booked Flights to Lapland, should the Weather outlook look bleak, for Snow prospects on Xmas Day.

Regards,

Tom.

WE are so very close in the Southeast for some now of Friday - just need another drop of 1 degree in the next couple of days -

We'll take 00z ARPEGE for Friday ... set your alarms early though, maybe gone by breakfast time

[Nick F]

06z GFS too ...

[Mark wheeler]

The wife has just text me . Followed by a phone call asking me why I haven’t told her , I simply replied that it’s to early to say and I didn’t want to jinx it .

[Froze were the Days]

ECM has limpet lows continually over England for the next 10 days...looks like good ol' cold rain for the time being - oh joy!

[Reefseeker]

Goodness me, I take a couple of weeks away from Netweather due to work commitments and return to talk of snow?! Well, fingers crossed for the first snow chase of the season

A beautiful morning in Surbiton, love the crisp cool days, more please with some of the white stuff too

 

[moogyboobles]

I'm trying to reign in the ramping, but the tree is up, BBC6 are having a Christmas office party day, and I've seen the flakes on the forecast.
