Snow's stopped, sun's out. Here's hoping the prospects for more snow next week increase as the newer models come out. Netweather folks were getting all excited about potential for an Easterly next week, but looks like the models have lost that signal last I looked.

The outlook for next week is for some sort of easterly, but mabve not potent enough for anything fun, and then it's a mess - possibly a snowy breakdown then possibly a massive low mid-atlantic.
Yeah, just went and caught up on the netweather thread. Lots of excited folks picking at charts. From what my very inexperienced eye can glean, the consensus over there seems to be one of cautious optimism for a good snow event next week, but that it's a 50-50 shout as to whether (no pun intended) or not it sets up properly. Beyond that, some less cautious excitement about what might happen into February.
Having grown up in Australia, *any* sort of snow (even the sort that left me stuck for 90 minutes on the M25 J7 to J6 stretch last night) is exciting. Having said that, I did once upon a time as a youngster catch a snow flake in my hand on Christmas Day ... in Canberra, Australia; better known for having 30°+ BBQ weather for Christmas!

Not seen such Bravery!
Not bothered as long as Lincoln v Ipswich isn't snowed off - messing up the 4th round game - and also as long as the games v Massive and Cardiff arn't postponed.

It's looking pretty benign for the next week - the high pressure never gets far enough away to give us anything exciting. Low chance of snow over that period, but not impossible.
I have to say that I have some sympathy for @UncleSpielberg with the latest debacle.
It was nice to have an hour or so of wet snow, but the media hype prior, during and after was quite embarassing, culminating with BBC Sussex weather forecast the night after the 'event' saying that although there will be no more snow today it will be 'a freezing 4 degrees', since when has 4 degrees been discribed in such terms in the middle of January !!!

Usually i love the snow....take the dog out, light the fire etc but next Tuesday (17th) my 18 year old daughter starts her training for cabin crew with Thomas Cook at Gatwick. She's only passed her driving test a month ago and has to drive up each day.
Probably not an issue for her but as a parent, one would like the crap weather to stay away for the time being.

For [MENTION=3711]Driver8[/MENTION] - if you've not gone off yet. Have a blast in El Tarter.
They've had snow pretty much all day today, but the heavy stuff in tomorrow night - up to a metre is possible over the next 36 hours.
Wrap up warm, as it's unbelievably cold (-15C, with 60 kmh winds).

By the 22nd the daytime temps will be returning to close to freezing, and wind speeds will have dropped markedly. the snow in the next day and a half will be quite brutal, especially at the temperature forecast (the plot below is WAY off on the temps as the grid size doesn't cater for the 2000m altitude of the Andorran villages)
Good news! When do you go?

Spend my winters counting down the days to skiing.....in my head the clock starts ticking, certainly the excitement builds, when the clocks change.
The whole resort is closed today due to the weather!
