A white christmas

 

[Jam The Man]

So... does the above mean snow?

 

[Hilton]

Yes it does, in the evening most probably, and on Boxing Day

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

no

 

[Jam The Man]

The MET webpage says no snow in the south, maybe in the north though

 

[Easy 10]

An area of high pressure coming up from the south, and meeting low pressure from the north. It will clash directly over the UK by the end of the week, lots of isobars drifting across the Atlantic, forming a depression just west of Ireland, all of which can only mean ONE THING...

...I don't actually understand meteorology at all.

We need the wind from the east for snow.

 

[Hilton]

No, anywhere north is good enough, air from the East is usually too dry to give any snow. Anywhere above the dashed line with 528 on it can get snow (ie. if it would normally rain, it will snow)

And the black line down the middle of the UK means rain/snow.

 

[Jam The Man]

I believe that Yoda himself would actually have said
"For snow, from the east, the wind is needed"

 

[lost in london]

yes, because i'll be in the alps

 

[Marc]

I best wax the snowboard when I get home tonight then, meet you up Truleigh Hill when it snows Hilton

 

[Mr Fridge]

For those who bet, snow has to fall on the London weather centre to count so it is only London that counts really.

 

[Hilton]

Bet on Aberdeen, most likely place. Though the odds have dropped from about 11-1 to 5/2 in London over the last few days.

For those who bet, snow has to fall on the London weather centre to count so it is only London that counts really.

I have just placed a bet with odds of 3/1 it snows in London.

Glasgow was evens
Cardiff 4/1

 

[Jam The Man]

Any update?

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

bbc says it will sleet in Brighton

 

[Gazwag]

We need the wind from the east for snow.

I thought it was the north wind


The north wind doth blow
and we shall have snow
and what will the robin do then
poor thing

 

[Bombardier]

Mr Fridge...your talking bollocks. Snow can fall on any one of 28 met sites in the UK and it does not (strictly speaking) have to fall as snow. The Argus also carries a page on this matter. From what I gather the South may well get snow on Boxing day but it won't be much, if any as it's likely to be very sleety. The good money is on anywhere North of Birmingham!

Looking at www.weather.co.uk, it's could be a tricky drive to Wolves with snow for 4 days before hand
