Snow predicted at altitude on Dartmoor on Sunday
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/w...r#?tab=fiveDay
LOL, thaw?
OK well perhaps a slow one, lot of snow to shift though.
In Feb 2009 14cm took 5 days to shift with temperatures 6-8C.
There is much more than that at altitude now.

It's global warming Will - it all works backwards, didn't you know. Snow
now thawing from the East with temps of 2C and convective showers from
the cold SW while the North Sea is devoid of them. The thaw might spread
west unless your cold Atlantic block holds it back ;-)

It's not so much the temperature as the amount of 'warm' rain that you get. My time as a "Munro Bagger" brought home to me just how much snow can disappear from a mountain side by a lot of rain in an active warm sector in just 24 hours.

The latest ECMWF has a run of SW's from the 27 to the 1st of February and by the end of that you may be scratching to find much snow on high ground anywhere in the UK.

I suppose if pressure builds over France it will draw into England fairly
cold continental air,so no major Atlantic warming ,or are you going for
Polar westerlies Will ?

Ah well my winter wonderland was good while it lasted, back to the green
fields & flooded roads again next week
Best January spell of cold & snowy weather here for years, that includes
January 2010!
Driving home from Leek tonight reminded me of the awesome winter of 1979,
most snowiest I've ever seen, only difference was the snowy weather lasted
for months not two weeks
May get a bit more snow Friday otherwise it's rain, rain and more rain YUK!!

We are not far off a dry spell in the south. Really unsure how much rain we
are likely to get.
Certainly 12Z ECM has thrown a spanner in the works. We *will* lose the
present very cold airmass though, no doubt about that. The polar westerlies
behind the deep Atlantic low will not be mild.

Only if your definition of "long, long, long" is no more than two or

three days.

Strange how Mr Cannon does not answer any questions asked of him, but is quite happy to comment on the remarks made by others.

Maybe he is not allowed to have any freedom of thought and expression?

He must follow the party line at all times, or else.
