18Z GFS slows it down
 
Well, well, well the saga goes on.

DT 18Z GFS slows everything down, builds a Scandi high and introduces a slow
moving front over western Britain on Thursday with the milder Atlantic air
occluding out. This obviously transfers the snow to hills in the west (and
perhaps low ground for a time). Eastern areas stay dry but very cold.
A fascinating week ahead, and I may yet get my heavy snow :-)

Let's be honest - we still haven't got a clue really. At least it will be
cold!

Fascinating battle ahead by the looks of it and classic winter weather for
the SW. So many times I've sat at home in Cornwall hoping the cold air gets
west only to hear of the blizzards in Devon - curses!!!!
Not looking so great for us in the east now then.
Enjoy Will - if it comes off.

Is there any point commenting on the models until Monday?

It'll all likely change again tomorrow

I aint' going to waste my time looking at them, until people can be a
bit more sure about what's going on

The hype over the weather next week is starting to become a bit of a
joke now

If it all turns out to be anti-climax, those people that built up
their hopes, will probably need a 'depression' hotline number !!

Let's say we're talking about something potentially interesting
happening next Friday.
Start seriously looking at the models on Tuesday (That's a reliable
time-frame)

I think the 'reliable' time-frame must be reduced quite a bit during
times of great uncertainty
for obvious reasons

At this range.. the Met Office are bang on, as usual.
A quick mention of the possibility of snow later on... and that's it

None of this, working out who get's nothing, who get's rain, who get's
snow
It's too early.... the models change every single day

Don' think anyone on here would disagree with that, other than there's been
some speculation rather than hype.

Will
unless theres several inches of snow over the bulk of the country by the end
of what we we now call our winter. I have to say that you and Tom should
have a crack at selling omega fish oils.

I'm keeping a close watch on comments/observations as we have Dad's
send-off at Wrexham crematorium on Wednesday and there will be family
travelling from Northumberland, Lincolnshire, the Midlands and
probably Yorkshire - I'd be quite happy for the heavy snow to hold off
until Friday!

Me too. For the coastal South where I am it's even more pointless.

I'll prick my ears up on Tuesday if it's still looking 'interesting'
but until then, let's have more of that luvverly sunshine we had on
Saturday; now that IS interesting! :)

Fingers crossed that all will be well for this important day: the same
'what ifs' have happened to me Elaine.
I am interested down here in Dorset partly because my home nestles
just 1 mile below Bull Barrow (272m) and also because I am driving to
Bedford on Friday night and then Robin Hoods Bay area Saturday.
I recall February 1996 when we had a considerable snowfall here in the
week before school Half Term and the latter was extended back by two
days.....
