Looks to be some cold and snow possibilities early next week. Into the minus C temperatures.

Huge excitement on the weather model watchers forum (not unusual though)........consensus seems to be cooling down next week then potential snowmaggedon after that :laugh: I'm waiting for the Daily Express to confirm the Arctic Blast/New Ice Age before getting my sledge out though

Yes lots of people comparing the potential to be as good (or bad if you don't like snow) as 2010 levels. Mid January onwards. Not sure whether that includes the deep South though. As always it will be hard to tell until the day I'm sure.

Ashdown Radio mentioned it on their news this morning. Of course, I always go and double check when they come out with that sort of stuff as they have a tendency at times to latch onto things from less-than-reputable sources.

Reading on Netweather this morning it looks like a lot of the detail is still to be sorted out, but the background signals are strong for at least cold weather. Whether or not that brings snow, or indeed our old friend the Beast from the East, will need a bit longer to sort out. Weather models are notoriously unreliable beyond 4-5 days, especially in situations like this where the normal weather patterns are being disrupted (and in the case of a BftE, reversed).

What seems to exciting the geeks is that all the models are basically aligned which is pretty unusual......

Brighton factually.....
I hate snow in Brighton, no one can feckin drive properly, keep a steady pace seems so hard for some folks, Elm Grove and our road which runs parallel are murder, the amount of times I have seen cars slide down those roads smashing and bouncing into other cars is mind blowing.

Train for me when the snow comes, either that or hit the coast road where the Salt from the sea helps with the road to work.

Yep. I've remembered my password and I'm on there too!

The 2nd wave of cold, around Jan 15th could be a 2010 style event if it comes off. Long way to go still.

You aren't far off... It was previously Uckfield FM. Rebranded as Ashdown Radio when they were able to expand to cover more of the area. All gone a bit Heart FM since then ... when it was Uckfield FM the schedule was all over the place, and loved it because of that - could be listening to chart songs one hour, then country the next, then musicals.

Been catching up. Seeing Catacol and others losing their heads and marvelling at the charts sure is something. I missed the 2010, as didn't join their community until 2015. Do remember the 2018 fun though, and this looks to have them all even more gung-ho that it's going to happen.


The various weather forecasting models I follow, show cold temperatures from Monday onwards, with zero precipitation for all of SE England.

Whilst anything 10 days out carries a high degree of uncertainty.

Worth remembering that snowfall is notoriously hard to predict. For the Brighton area it all depends on positioning of any south tracking lows, or if we get easterlies how strong are they and how well aligned are they to create streamers flowing across (not to mention all the other factors that come into play for creating "lake effect" streamers flowing from Kent coast across into Sussex).

Occluded fronts in the past have brought the Sussex coast alone heavy snow.

The problem (as I’m a snow lover) is that the models show arid air without any precipitation.

Yes the lake effect has often brought snow to the eastern North Downs, east Kent, whilst we ******* miss out :mad:

I'd rather snow than this bloody rain we seem to have had almost every day since the start of December. Had to drop church magazines and then do a small food shop in the village PM, absolutely bloody awful.

Exactly.

My Dad (not poor) loves this torrential rain and mild temperatures because it shaves a few quid off the gas bill. This is persistent rubbish, we recorded 2023 rainfall at 154% of the long term average.

But thankfully it ends now, with a long dry and cold spell.

Quite a bit of angst on Netweather this morning as the GFS has had a bit of a wobble regarding the Greenland High around the 15th.

What we do know is that from today through to Monday and Tuesday we're going to see colder temperatures here, with an Easterly wind developing.

It will be mainly dry, but there is a low chance of the odd snow shower, more likely in the usual areas exposed to the East.

After that were likely to see a continuation of the dry theme, maybe slightly less cold until the period 14th to 16th where the uncertainty lies.

Could be very cold with a snow risk or could be just chilly and dry.
