It was touched on yesterday, but I'm really interested to know what brought that epic dumping in January 2010 to our parts? (The dumping which was suggesting 40cm for Southampton, it was lowered to around 15-20cm though).

Thinking back that far, it feels as if this was quite an evolving situation but for the life of me, I cannot remember what the forecasts or models were showing for this. None of the historic threads in the model forum go back that far either.

I'm just clutching at straws really, what do we need for a similar event? Was it a channel low that pushed a touch further north and ran across the southern quadrant?

The member 'Weather-History' might be able to help you with more accurate details than my anecdotal waffle. Maybe TWS will recall it, although I don't think he was in an area that experienced much of the impact?

Help needed please with something I’m struggling to understand.

two things.

The first is if you look at the radar in the north showers are coming in from the North Sea making their way in land going all the way over tops and mountains right over to the west coast.

The mountains are not hindering those stream of showers at all.

why is that?

secondly the streamers further south are really struggling to make their way over to western areas. there is a dark orange patch over Milton Keynes Way which is just stationary over there yet the main flow is east to west so why is that not shifting anywhere and why is it staying in one place when there is no high ground in comparison to Yorkshire where those showers are actually making it all the way from one coast to another?

 

thanks if any of you can put some rationale onto this for me please

We really are at  the weeble end of any snow in this part of the country!

Can't even get a descent shower pass over.

The wait continues!

It doesn't seem to be decaying much, given the increase in size and intensity throughout the day so far?

It does look like it will wax and wane in situ, not making westward progression but moving west on its eastern flank. Frustrating given where it could potentially end up if it was moving across! Not seeing many reports regarding what conditions are like underneath it?

It's a streamer that this particular model is forecasting for southern Cornwall, pretty much on/off all day tomorrow;

Very localised, but should you be lucky enough to be under it, you could get a decent covering.

I see that the low has trended too far south for us 

Are any models showing up with this steamer?

Three convergence zones and a decaying upper warm front.

Will have a look over next couple of hours when 12z data comes out.

Getting kid from school, forgot to wear gloves, hands are slowly freezing over, can barely type.

I'm in Aylesbury and the heaviest snow has been to our northeast never quite making it here except for a few instances. Very strange how the heaviest precip decays juuuuuust as it gets to the town lol.

Constant snow here for a fair few hours now but it's not amounting to much! A bit on the grass. Pretty disappointing in that respect but at least I can see it falling!

I'm sure a 20 minute drive to the northeast it's winter wonderland!

Taken this from @danm in the SE thread. Is it anything for us to get hopeful about?

If I recall correctly that it was a decaying cold front from the north that somehow developed a low pressure system along its line as it moved slowly south and as it hit the south coast it started circulating moisture from the Channel back northwards into the flow so it kept it going from around 4pm throughout most of the night. We were in an almost unprecedented red warning zone 24-48 hours beforehand (I thought it had to be some sort of error) and was the heaviest fall/accumulation of snow we had here this century.

Yes If I recall it stalled right over Oxfordshire and gave a 20-30cm dumping! Very tasty!

Doesn't seem to be as it doesn't look as though it's going to move in our direction....

Edit... see Mapantz posts earlier for an explanation why

for areas further north and east in the region, it screams stalling fronts and where those fronts stall, snowfall.  IMBY admittedly, but something to straw clutch for those of us further north and east in the region, sorry guys further south and west.  

Yeah I've been hesitant to post charts in FI, but many charts support this. If we get unlucky on Thurs / Fri, there's going to be more attempts from the atlantic next week. This isn't your bog standard easterly, so you'd think temps will be on the right side of marginal for many of us. I think we're safe from hearing the dreaded 'Snow north of M4' line for a little while. Might have about 50 miles leeway for a change.

It certainly will decay according to the Met Office, see screenshots below of expected precipitation at 16:00, 17:00 and 18:00.

Arome 12z goes with bits and pieces into tomorrow, then a bit of a streamer South of the M3 in the morning.

If it was decaying , how come it intensified snd stayed stationary .
