[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

[Easy 10]

"lucky" as in we avoid more snow....or get another load ?
Cos I have to say, I'm fairly sick of it now.

We have reached a key point, which will determine whether we get snow tonight. There is a developing shower cell, which is about to make landfall near Gillingham.... whether this can make it inland will be key.

Another cell, inland to the north west of Chelsmsford seems to be holding together, so we may be lucky.

I understand Cells as I've watched a bazillion Tornado Chase programs on TV (really wanna chase one one day)

Thanks for the updates once again.

On the topic of this weekends snow, at which point would you estimate it will be at its most heaviest?

Late Saturday to early Sunday.... although it's not forecast to be very heavy, just persistent, but it will settle.

To see the possible streamers forming upwind from us, look here:

looking at that and the RainToday! I reckon East Sussex could get a battering with it skimming Shoreham/Worthing area, in other words BRACE yourselves Brighton!!

 

[philsussex]

I have more faith in the NSC forecasters than the BBC.

Great job guys!

As long as it has the energy and moisture to get inland.... we shall see.

I can't see that bit of snow making it here myself.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

It does depend. If this marks the edge of the colder air at altitude, then lake effect snow (streamers) may be possible... there seems to be a little more coherence to this line than others over the last couple of days.

I do think you're right, I'm just hopeful.

 

[Yoda]

It might do, the one in Suffolk isn't doing too bad at the moment.

 

[Napper]

When will we know or is it changing every minute ?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

When will we know or is it changing every minute ?

Well, the raintoday radar updates every 15 minutes.

I suggest bookmarking that site and checking back.... it's very useful for short range precipitation forecasting.

 

[philsussex]

The red splodge looks like it's heading towards us. Are we likely to get snow or have the pikeys nicked it?

Well, it's still there a good 30 miles inland.... I would say Lewes and Brighton (as well as the borderland with Kent) will get snow from that... and perhaps even Shoreham!!! Unless it just evaporates of course, which is possible as it runs out of available moisture, just Lucius in the Incredibles.

Papa, how do you know so much about the weather? What is your job?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Papa, how do you know so much about the weather? What is your job?

Nothing to do with my job, more my true calling. I wanted to be a weather forecaster as a kid, but didn't get the right A Levels to go to Reading or East Anglia, and that was in the day when the Met Office were only taking people with Meteorology, Maths or Physics degrees. I ended up doing a Geog Science Degree, which included Meteorology, but I never got the chance to do it professionally.

Since the birth of the internet and messageboards, i've been an active member of a couple, and have taken up the love of weather again, but as a keen amateur.

 

[Ernest]

The question is , when will it start getting warmer ?

Gaps seem to be forming in the 'Splodge'.....
