Snow watch!!!!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

well, it looks like winter finally might be arriving!

First indications for snow are for this coming saturday as a low pressure draws in cold air . The met office arent really going for it at the moment, but the potential is certainly there. At the moment I'd say the biggest risk is for the midlands and central England.

After that there seems to be a cold few days but then the models start to disagree. GFS shows a positive snow fest for the 24th! masses of snow, but its a long way off and until we get much closer who knows what really will happen.

fun

Hi Catbag Im actually a little nearer Richmond than Darlington, but only by about a mile or so.

Noooo

I normally love snow and I've had my freezer stocked for weeks waiting for this thread. Everyone is equipped with wellies, thermal socks and gloves...

BUT

I have to drive DD1 back to her halls of residence on Sunday and we are showing 80% chance of snow for Saturday and 90% for Sunday. DH can't take her as he has IMPORTANT THINGS to do watching the match

Snow has only one purpose, to be there on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, if it is not there then it can feck off.

I had no idea there was so much weather chat on MN! Just popped in to say I live in Eastern Europe and it starting snowing in November....and it is still fecking snowing.

I hate fecking snow.

I might start a sun watch thread.

It's sunny here! The washing's out and everything!

It's like early spring in West London this lunchtime

My washing has just gone out too, it was dark, grey and wet first thing

Oooo I hope it does snow!!! My daughter's 3rd birthday is 25th and we'll be at Centre Parcs. Snow was be AMAZING!!!

Sunny here. Yay.

Have been to the shops and they seem to have shoved deicer, scrapers, things for the bottom of your shoes etc to the front of the shops.

DD and I filled watering cans with water and food colouring the other day and 'painted' the snow - great fun!

It is still fecking snowing.

It's sunny and spring-like here in Crowthorne (Berkshire) and I've just watched two pigeons having sex in my garden, so clearly they think it's spring!! REALLY do not want snow to come!

waves at Jellybean from Ascot!

Ok, next model update in a few moments......

hmm, next model isnt out yet. You'll have to wait a bit!!

on a positive note for me the DCs can finally get on the sleigh if it snows enough

You have a sleigh...?

You're such a tease OYBBK
BBC shows rain/dry for us sat/sun.
Netweather shows snow for most of sun.
I'm quite excited about the whole idea, but think I'll just believe it when I see it!

We have a sleigh!! DH made it about 8 years ago.

Crafted out of finest oak with little metal runners that we have to wax up and everything :)

Just big enough to take both DDs on the school run :)

90% chance of snow here on Sunday got our sledge ready in the garage :) I am such a big kid!

The met office really arent going for the whole snow thing this weekend, preferring to stick with sleet on saturday and nowt but a few snow showers coming in off the east coast on Sunday which is in direct contrast with GFS (06Z model run) which still goes for snow in central england (towards Wales) and perhaps some of western Wales too before it moves eastwards over Sunday night.

Impatiently waiting for the 12Z model to come out. Another half an hour or hour probably....

Now when you say east coast would east kent qualify?

We often get completely different weather to the rest of kent. Think it is to do with valleys or summit.
