Wintry weather next week?

[petunia]

Metmonkey are forecasting this for next week. We'll see ~ probably a bit early to say for certain whether this will happen or whether it'll just be cold and frosty.

Yes Noah - almost certainly you will be seeing snow showers by tomorrow morning.

CM - still unsure as to how far it will penetrate - diff models showing different things.

Well our sledges just arrived so bring on the snow

Yeah. DH got home

I think buying the snow shovels worked. Not a sniff of the white stuff here!

Thank you :)

What are the chances of journey from York to Hull on Saturday being ok?

Hooray for mr mummyberryjuice :)

Manky - you werent expected to get any today!

Noah, not really sure - depends on your mode of transport really! Sleigh - no problems at all. Roads - depends on your council!

Ok I have to be honest everyone, I'm finding it quite hard to keep up, the models are saying different things, the uk is quite big, there are lots of exciting things weather wise for several days to come, I'm rather busy over the next few days with real life and I'm a huge novice at this stuff. I absolutely love giving forecasts, it gives me a chance to indulge my hobby and to learn but if I don't get round to being able to help out its not cos I don't like you and please don't pelt me with snowballs if I get it all wrong!!!

something to get southern snow lovers excited about

OYBBK, I am laughing at Metcheck at the moment....looking at my post code we should have blizzards early next week!

GFS is giving us blizzards too next week - in fact it has a very 'Stephen King' look to the blizzards it is going for!

ooooh Storm of the Centruty....all we need is the spook stranget turning up and taking one us us as his price!

spooky stranger even.

Does it really look bad next week then?

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT GERMAN MAP ABOUT??

please tell me it's not snow depth in cm

ok, so i have checked 4 different weather sites for predictions for my location.

netweather says snow friday saturday and sunday,
metcheck says snow monday tuesday and wednesday,
met office says no
and bbc weather says snow tomorrow lunchtime.

wtf?????????

Well I know it's snowing in Germany, my Neice just sent me a message on FB, she is proper fed up!

cherrymonster - I am in the same situation. Am liking metcheck because it has no snow for us until next Tuesday. Google says I am getting snow tomorrow

But why do they all say different things?

I don't like netweather - snow from tonight, apparently.

We call Netweather "ChickEn Lickin Eorecast' HENNY PENNY The Sky is Falling!!!!!!!!!

cat - yes - that is what gfs are predicitng for next tuesday - its gorn mad I tell you.

CM and SL - noone actually knows the specifics, snow forecasting is very difficult in this country but forecasting sites are never going to put 'havent got a clue - this is our best guess' on their websites - so they do the best they can with the particular model they use.

Also remember, the rest of the year we are quite happy with knowing we may or may not get showers, but when it comes to snow, those showers really make a difference and we all really want to know to much more detail than we usually have.

I think it is still true that the metcheck postcode weather forecaster is fully automated so there is no human filtering the nonsense that computer models can show sometimes.

(sorry that map is thursday - not tuesday. durr!)

Thursday as in tomorrow??

Is now snowing in York. Well, four miles east of it

thursday next week mychat!
yay noah (little earlier than I thought)

As long as the Manchester-Norwich flight lands tomorrow evening I'm not fussed - but that plane needs to land.

We've had a bit of snow this evening - nothing too dramatic (Norfolk).
