Heavy Snow for England coming Friday night?
 

Do I read the GFS correctly? Is there is risk of heavy snow across the
centre of England on Friday night on the north edge of the little
depression swinging SE across the country?

.... interesting one isn't it! A lot can go wrong with these small-scale
features - it looks as if the cold low-level air will flood down from
the north, but it will all be finely balanced as regards the
positioning/intensity of that small-scale low; certainly 'one to watch'!

And probably completely unforecastable at the resolution that matters
:-)

I'm sure the 4km meso will come in useful :-)

That was PATHETIC in comparison with what the Siberian children have at
this very same time of year.

That all said though, that day brought us some three days of lying
snow, hence the snowiest November, for my area, anyway, since 1996, so
I am not complaining.:-) ****ed off, hell, yeah. But not complaining
THIS time.

I think your expectations of the British climate are somewhat unrealistic
as regards snow!

Ah, "Col", the man(?) who always posts after me, without fail.;-)

I think your expectations of the British climate are somewhat
unrealistic
as regards snow!

But very much realistic regarding Slavs.:-)

Whereabouts in the country are you?

The North-West, just east of the Pennines. We tend to miss out on BOTH
north-westerlies AND easterlies, although December 1995, February 1994,
and the other great, undoubtedly Scandinavian-induced events of the
last two or three decades have been quite kind of Huddersfield.
However, the 1999 - or was it 2000? - easterly produced pathetic WET
SNOW here and heavy snow for Brian Gaze and co. down in the South-East.
Hence, my big fear is that, with north-westerlies, like now, hardly
EVER delivering, easterly outbreaks may have lost their key "touch" or
edge in recent years. Maybe they are just not getting this far inland?

October(!) 2000 and February 2001 were good for north-westerly/easterly
outbreaks respectively though.:-)

Are you really in Huddersfield (North West?)?
I lived just over the hill in Penistone for 8 years until a year ago and
compared to other parts of the country, I think you have little to complain
about.
Get your bike out, take a tent and spend a weekend on Holme Moss!

Indeed it will, but 4km model resolution doesn't mean 4km accuracy
resolution, especially on a 24-hour forecast :-)
