Chance of Snow next week

The latest shipping forecast map could induce sea-sickness

I would bloody LOVE IT if it snows next week

Flid.

For example - this is the latest precipitation forecast for the 6am - noon period on Monday...

I wouldn't trust it though.

Isn't that the original version of Space Invaders, circa 1984?

Doesn't look scary enough to get me, a postie, into long trousers.

 

[KNC]

How those long winter nights must fly by.

 

[hart's shirt]

i'd say that we're 90% there for an easterly feed off the continent (models all agree on this).

Surely models should stick to modelling?

 

[Questions]

It WILL NOT snow next week. No chance.

I`m off to get provisions in................. we`re snowed in for the week.

US has spoken.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I thought i'd pop in to mention that the latest uk met office, European and Gfs model runs all back up the earlier forecast, with the gfs going for an increased chance of snow down here. I am on my mobile, so i will try to post some model output later, if anyone is interested.

By the way US, do you fancy a wager on your earlier statement about no snow?

I like your predictions more than Gareths.

Yours come with graphics and sense.

But where does it say "you have not been charged for this information"?

You'll end up getting a bill.

Papa's looking good vs. US.

My hood of Southend looks good for a no work day!

How is he looking good ?. There is no mention whatsoever of Brighton or Sussex. It is the East which is always the way with these Easterlies. The snow never reaches Brighton and normally stops around Hastings.

I predict with confidence there will be snow next week in Yellowknife in Canada.

I just finished cleaning up after 12-14", and you're welcome to it.

Portland, ME -- 57" for the season, (or .8 of a Leon Knight, in metric)

Start of schools delayed for 2 hours. Pissing and moaning about how 'we should have canceled altogether' will commence today at 9:30, instead of at 7:30, like the rest of the winter....

This fall I sent my 18-year old snowblower-cum-eldest off to university in Pittsburgh. I should have taken all his graduation money myself and bought one of the gas-powered variety.

Yellowknife next week:

 

[Nadger]

Looking cold enough on the latest GFS run

But looks like the snow will fall to the north east of the country. But it will change with every run just hope for some lake-effect snow

That must have been one HELL of a facial

Are those pretty pictures saying we'll have -10 to -12 or so.
