Lol! ECM FI throws us up a Greenie High! Would back up GP's and the Mets outlook but too far out to be taking seriously for now!

Let's get through this weekend first!

is the greenie high good?

Yeah, if you like snow and cold that is! A Greenie high is part of what

caused the Dec 2010 cold!

Although please, don't expect that even If, and it's a big FI if, it did happen!

Evening all. Well we all know about BBC weather graphics don't we, I would take any projection of what could happen with a pinch of salt, all those graphics do is RAMP!!!

But for those of you who want to dream carry on, I will believe it when I see it!!!

My thoughts on this eve's BBC forecast is that it's unusual for them to show graphics for the weekend on a Tues Eve, so confidence must be growing for a 'battleground East v West' event over the weekend - the detail to be decided is exactly where the battle lines are drawn - to the West of that 'line' it will rain and just to its East it will snow.

Best situ for us is a stalling front just to our West IMO

Just the other day all the models were pretty much showing the front at the weekend pushing right through to the east coast & beyond, know it's more a case of it stalling down the spine of the uk, anyone else noticing a nice shift west here, hopefully that trend continues for the weekend, infact I've no doubt the snow/rain boundary will shift both west & east in the coming few days!

Light snow shower on south Dartmoor. Obviously won't come to anything but still better than the disappointment of Sunday evening where snow was forecast and all we got was rain!

I am sticking to what GP & Chino says, the models are all over the place at the mo.

It could go either way this weekend, but I have a funny feeling we will be building snowmen by Monday.

Is it just me with squeaky bum syndrome! these models could go either way +48.

I'm hoping against hope for snow at the weekend. But have a feeling will be disappointed!

Come on you GEM, be right for once as that would be a serious dumping of snow for us this weekend

So many people getting hung up on what will/won't happen in 5/6 days time and missing what we have now ; the coldest day for over a year (29 Jan 2010 was 1.1c maximum, today was 1.9c maximum).

Quite chilly outside tonight though! -1.6c at the moment and slowly falling although its cloudy outside at moment.

Reading between the lines on the Model Thread a significant snow event in the UK at the weekend seems to be more 'likely' at this stage than the last few days. But as we all know from previous, 'if' it happens, where it will be, and how large an area it will cover will not become apparent until a few hours before the event, and more likely during it!

I'm going to enjoy the cold the next few days, even working outside for a living - the mild of the last 2 months hasn't felt right regardless of snowfall - and then I'll see what happens. A return to very cold following a possible milder rain event seems just as likely. Gonna stock up on strong ales for the weekend radar watch though! Innis and Gunn highly recommended for medicinal reasons where imminent snow is forecast.....SW

My take on events for our patch from what I've seen from the models and media is a messy transfer from cold dry conditions to rather cold, grey and possibly foggy conditions Sunday. The messy transition will most likely be accompanied by a short/ish period of snow or possible freezing rain before rain turns to drizzle and peters out overnight Saturday into Sunday. Sunday itself would probably stay dull, merky and possibly foggy under the decaying front. I might be wrong but that's how I think it would turn out if things verified as shown tonight.

Yes I agree that showing the possible outcome for the weekend might indicate something interesting especially this far out and on a national forecast, but many times this kind of forecast has been put out for all sorts of bad weather and has ended up a non event! Anyway if this were to pan out to be a snow event for our part of the world then I think you need to be living in land from the English channel at least five miles or more to benefit from this,so best not to live on the South coast like me lol !! Hope I'm wrong!!

Just an observation, but in West Dorset some of our worst snow falls have been on a Friday and Saturday going back to the 70's,80's and 90's so who knows the trend might just fit!!!

Sound like a plan? :rofl:

It reallyis tempting to go away and just try forget about this until we get to friday and sat when the high res NAE comes into play but I'd get hassle from work from everyone asking me what is going to happen and then i'd crack and just take a sneaky peak! :80:

That actualy made me laugh out loud reading that because it is so true! I am not going to even mention snow I'll say its going to be wet and cold this weekend and save my self the pain. Although it will only take one day of bbc graphics to show us getting snow and they will all be pestering me about it for details grrrr :rofl:

The grief I got for the wet snow that didnt settle on sunday was enough!

Wow its going to get very cold outside once this cloud clears later in night. currently -2.3c
