Default Post mortem on my poor forecast last thursday

Yes that little low is now shown as tracking further north than was the
case on earlier runs, and the Met Office warning now issued for Monday
seems to reflect that. It will be interesting to see where the 12Z ECMWF
puts the low.

John,

If it's smack bang over Weston Coyney we still won't get a heavy fall
of snow




But you wouldn't want it there, as that might put you in the milder air.
I would think that 50-100 miles to your south would be ideal.

Snow warning yesterday for up to 6cms, we managed a temporary light
covering last night!
Today's warning was for 10cms on higher ground, we've had a light
dusting this evening and now they have put the mockers on us again and
issued another damn warning for Monday


You seem to have been unlucky, in view of the reports from slightly
south of you.

Maybe over the weekend we will get more snow from the wintry showers
without any snow warnings, though I doubt it!!

Graham


Fingers crossed for you.
