Daily Fail predicting heavy snow next week.

[dingit]

Coming over from the good old US of A. Oybk, what do you make of it?

is anywhere else reporting this or is it just the daily fail? it's just before xmas i saw their front page online, with 2 articles about the weather, one saying we were in for a big freeze (ie winter ), the other saying we were very unlikely to have a white xmas due to the mild weather!

the don't seem to be able to do anything other than contradict themseleves in their reporting

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Not bothered about snow, bring it on. I just want the fecking wind to stop blowing the fecking rain through my fecking tiles

[CaptainSweatPants]

Aaaarrrgghh! I hope not!

[ReallyTired]

The met office suggests that might be snow on northen hills.

days 6 to 15.

Colder next week, possibly snow in some areas. Weather patterns are all over the place at the moment so Daily Fail is jumping the gun a bit. Personally id be happy to be cold rather than wet

[handcream]

There are certain lots of covert Daily Mail readers on MN's. There are always lots of quotes from the paper (not of course that anyone will admit to reading it!)

[BlueSkySunnyDay]

I inherit someone elses daily newspaper - its definately a low brow tabloid, I certainly would spend money on a paper when I can get all I need to know online/on tv

[BlueSkySunnyDay]

I wouldnt spend money on a paper

Damn insomnia is making me crazy, think I need to be previewing today!

[dingit]

It was on their front page, it caught my eye while waiting in Tescos for the rain to stop belting down so I could my shopping to the car!

[stickysausages]

Secretly hopeful... I love snow!!

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Coming from a paper who runs stories on how temperatures are set to plummet during winter! (Of course they bloody well do. Winter is always colder than summer you fuckwits). I can't take it too seriously.

[ISeeYouShiverWithAntici]

again?

I've been waiting for it since november.

Sunny enough for sunglasses today.

Although they must be struggling for news. It May Snow In Winter.

Well, I never

If we get snow next week it will be because of moist Atlantic air mixing with polar air drawn in from the north. It's not American snow storms making it across the atlantic unmodified.

There may be some snow, looking temporary and marginal at best. It looks colder but not especially cold. Northern England and Scotland look the most likely areas.

[coffeeinbed]

I don't want any snow.
Arctic, American, Atlantic or the Daily Mail kind.

I love snow, I do, but as soon as we get an inch of it all grinds to a halt. It's wasted on us.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Looking a little more like snow next week. Will be updating the warnings thread this afternoon.

However this isn't the American snow storms and their polar vortex is not going to suddenly come over here. Any cold will come from roughly the north of us give or take a few degrees. Will splain more later.

[hercules1]

Adding myself in the hope of upcoming snow.

[pinkkoala]

According to our local paper we are due snow next week, do you think this is correct. We are northants.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I'm updating snow potential in this thread :) sorry to sweep you up, but I get lost if I start updating multiple threads and then people get left out. Of course people are always entirely welcome to add their own thoughts and predictions to any thread they like!

[hercules1]

Thanks, kitten. Happy to be swept up!

[HesterShaw]

The Daily Mail told us that the storm surges this week were caused by storms "coming in from the South Atlantic". Storms all the way from Patagonia - whatever next?

What? Immigrant snow? How dare it! Coming over here, blocking our roads & pavements.....

I hate snow. It means DH can't always work & we lose a fair bit of money.

[ReallyTired]

"What? Immigrant snow? How dare it! Coming over here, blocking our roads & pavements....."

I got visions of UKIP telling snow clouds to go back to Poland or Romania! I think I prefer workshy British snow that doesn't settle. Polish snow would be a nightmare. Can you imagine, it would be proper snow!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Well, guess they were wrong!

[TheWoollybacksWife]

pinkkoala for a really good Northamptonshire forecast you could check the Pitsford School weather station site.

Here

They have been very accurate about snowfall for the last two winters.
