Default 12Z sdgs and snow risk

an isothermal layer to be produced. This would mean deeper
penetration of snow through to the surface. MetO are going for more
of a risk over towards E.Anglia, due to quicker cold advection.

Afternoon, Joe. Is the current situation disturbing your studies
again?

I've been watching the temperature here crawling only slowly upwards,
after this morning's frost. It's still (16:15 hrs) only 3.8C. To
my mind, it'll be cooler this evening than the forecasters thought.
I am in "E Anglia" (well, for the TV regions purposes, anyway) so
I'm anticipating some wintry precip. tonight. :-)

I'm flying to Andorra (Arinsal) on Sunday for my very first winter
holiday - it would be just my luck to miss any action here, wouldn't
it? (And don't tell me to "break a leg" will you.)

Hi Tom,

Yes it is, very much so, not helped by the fact that all lectures and
tutorials are cancelled due to them all taking industrial action for
pay reasons ! I also have double the amount of work to do having
missed all of last week, I took a winter holiday to Val
d'Isere/Tignes, like you next week.

Wind has veered significantly here as the surface trough sinks south,
bringing in cooler air. EGNM down to 00/00 for a time, now 01/01.

Joe


What are the conditions like in Tignes? Planning my 3rd week boarding in early April!
