Horrible 00z ECM and gfs charts this morning. Winter could well be re-gathering to plague the UK.




Yes I had that thought too. There was RASN a couple of days last year in


March but no snow here since 2008 when it snowed 4 days at the end of


the month.

I think that with the jet stream continuing to be so far south, we are never going to be free of the spring snow risk.


Nope. Very true. All hints of a jet stream movement north disappeared very quickly and never achieved anything like enough consistency for a forecast to herald warmth.

Truly foul charts for the start of spring. Hoping something warmer is signalled for mid-March, over the next few days.
