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

[Jimmy Grimble]

VERY faint snow at The Amex currently.

 

[Southstandfaithful]

starting to lay in HH but still pretty light

 

[sam86]

Coming down fast in Portslade.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Quite a lot coming down on Hove seafront.

 

[jonsey]

not much in Horsham now

 

[pasty]

Reached BN2 now. Not much though

 

[Giraffe]

Been a few light showers in Worthing all afternoon but way too small and light to settle.

The streamer that's coming inland from the Thames is evaporating before it gets as far as Worthing, hence snow in Horsham and Crawley, but not here

Papa, I have a question for you if I may. Although the temperature at altitude is low enough to create snow, and we have an easterly air flow, the actual surface temperatures are not that low. We are forecast for 4C tomorrow. What are the conditions that have to occur to give us really cold weather - e.g. below freezing by day?
If I remember rightly we had a record -13c in Hove one night in 1981/82, and daytime temperatures were very cold.

Without having looked lately, are the winds due to pick up at all? That seems to be the only chance we have of getting any decent snow in Worthing.

All comes down to a combination of temperature at altitude, thickness levels of warmer air and how low the dew point is. Papa will be able to explain better though.

Snowing quite steadily for a while now in Willingdon. Not flumping but settling on cars.

Just seen the forecast for the next 5 days from the met office website.... cold, grey and a bitter north east wind all sodding week.

Any of you experts see an end to this shit weather.....surely we must see some signs of it warming up a bit soon....i was wearing shorts at work at the end of feb last year !!!!!!

Looking like staying cold for the next 10 days, with the possibility of it warming up slightly but I ignore forecasts past 7-10 days anyway.

I'll be hoping for some of the warmer stuff..first lawn to be cut week tomorrow

We're going to get a bit of a shock next week.

This warm interlude isn't going to last.

Exhibit 1: high level temps drop off a cliff on Sunday - snow percentage suddenly spike



Exhibit 2: According to the GFS Op run, snow is pushing down the country on Sunday morning



Exhibit 3: By mid Sunday there's widespread snow here... not very heavy.



This would mark the start of a 3-5 day cold spell, with snow possible at times down here. There is the chance of some very cold upper temps (-12 to -13C).

All to play for... if you like cold weather and snow.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

P.S. The other models, UKMO & ECM both support a similar evolution to this...

 

[The Oldman]

Thanks for the warning Papa. I will not put away the thermals just yet then.

 

[The Tassie Seagull]

Wouldn't mind some cold stuff 30deg plus for the next week or so.

This is a VERY exciting development
