So when will it be over?
Ummm - remember when I compared it to 2010, 91 and 87, but said it would be more like 63 or 47 if it had happened earlier in the season? This pattern is locked in and extremely hard to shift. The jet stream will get an assistance to reboot from the warmer sun, but currently it has no plans to start up. It is shut off..

The forecasts I've looked at show the daytime temperatures starting to increase around March 5th
Yes, the GFS model, which many of the apps/websites use for automated forecasts, likes to give the Atlantic more strength then it has. Not saying it's wrong, but more often than not it doesn't model the strength of the cold pool pushing back the Atlantic well. Puggit said:

W COUNTRY Yellow warnings for #snow now issued re Tues-Weds by @metoffice. Please keep across forecasts as detail gets honed. We are also watching for potential developments by/into Friday that *may* threaten significant snow for the region, but continued uncertainty at present.
I reckon this may just happen, you know. Fingers crossed.
Yep it looks like it’s pretty certain to cause some disruption now. I’m reconsidering buying a cheap old 4wd to get to me to work over the next 10 days.W COUNTRY Yellow warnings for #snow now issued re Tues-Weds by @metoffice.

So Puggit should I buy myself an X Trail for a couple of weeks? (I live between Soton and Pompey)

Drumroll please! The first UK wide snow prediction map for a long, long, long time...
Note how the Chilterns prevent the M4 corridor getting as much snow as surrounding areas - grrr!

I live and work under the dark purple bit in the centre of the uk, I guess I may have problems getting to work, if I even have any patients arrive
Quite interesting seeing the forecast for the Colchester area changing every couple of hours on Netweather, both for Monday/Tuesday and later in the week. Checked it for Cambridge and there's not much predicted there so might have to send my boss some photos if we get heavy snow to prove I'm not joking.
Just going to see what happens.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
