The OFFICIAL thread - Snowing here...

[Barrel of Fun]

A heavy blast commences in SW13.

 

[Yoda]

It's not down here.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Not in West Worthing it's not. Are you sure it's not the ashes from the burnt out cars in Durrington

It might be the remains of the destroyed Sycorax ship torchwood destroyed?

If you look here, the next snow is coming down through sussex from the North

It's getting heavier out.. so maybe as Durrington is a little further north than West Worthing, we're getting the southern edge of the latest 'streamer'.

Nothing yet in Eastbourne.

 

[Djmiles]

A good inch and a half in Haywards Heath, hoping for more overnight!

freezing in coventry but no major snow storms

Just a quick one - how long do you expect the current cold snap to last (for the north midlands)?
(my interest is just in the temperatures)

you'll get the low moving north tomorrow evening... you're far enough west to avoid the warm sector and higher temps that might affect the eastern areas.

After fannying around all day with the odd flake drifting around, it is finally snowing steadily here in Storrington. Probably only an inch or so at the moment, sorry 2.5cm for our younger viewers!

 

[Yoda]

Stand corrected, just let the dog out the back to melt a bit and it is snowing once again.

 

[Raphael Meade]

proper f***ing blizzard going on now in E5. good covering on the ground too.

Well, from the latest raw model output... for Manchester, which is the nearest locality the publish easy to get hold of ensemble forecasts for:

It looks like close to zero for the whole week.

To explain, the lines are all different forecast runs, each with slightly different algorithms and starting conditions, so there is good agreement on a cold spell...

Is that ok?

Is Papa Lazarou NSC's official weather man?

No snow for me then.

My son is going to Brighton tomorrow will he end up in 6 ft of snow

 

[Mowgli]

And the snow is still falling

I had a feeling that band or 'streamer' might just clip us at some point. Looks quite an extensive stream too.

Any idea how the trains have faired in the past with snow? Wanting to get to Wales tomorrow from Haywards Heath, what do you reckon my chances are?
