The windy winter and occasional snow thread 2017/2018

[Yipper]

PHers getting more excited about a 48hr sprinkle of snow than any car launched in the past 5 years

[A.J.M]

Weather app on phone suggests snow and low temperatures for my area from Tuesday onwards.
East of Glasgow area.
I’m hoping this is the case.

Snow can bugger-off from North Yorks, I'm back at work that day.

[fttm]

We've had nigh on 3 months of minus 20's during the day then dipping to mid minus 30's overnight , with winds and snow . You will survive a couple of days , I promise . Failing everything else take a good dose of MTFU pills and all will be good . Best of luck chaps

[Windlepoons]

Nothing new here, snow that was forecast for midnight pushed back to 1am, 1am arrives snow due at 4am.

No doubt 4 am will arrive and the never ending delay will never end and then it will be summer..

Blah

[Gun]

Blimey, the wind was bitter this morning waiting on the station platform!

[MentalSarcasm]

Netweather told me I would wake up to the lightest dusting of snow, and I have. Now bring on the main event! (After I get home from work this evening)

She might, I don’t!

Last time we had a decent snow event I was working a Virgin inbound to Heathrow that ended up diverting to Frankfurt!!

I've just woken up early having worked out that my biggest issue is the school calling a preemptive snow day.

GFS pushing the low away looks like temps will lift after Thursday as well.

The GFS always resolves with a westward bias and, to my eye, has been a bit sporty in taking the low NW sooner than it should. UKMO has it modelled really rather differently.

I’m going from Soton to Heathrow on Thursday. Although if there’s more than a couple of cm’s there’ll be no reason to go as my girlfriends flight will be diverting somewhere else.

Due to fly from Soton to Manchester Thursday afternoon. Great timing!

Car windows here are not even iced up this morning!

[FiF]

Worcestershire. Minus 5 on the sheltered outside thermometer this morning. No icing on cars. Dons lumberjack shirt and long thermal undercrackers.

Just started trickling down here and settled immediately on the ground. East Mids near the Airport. Sky is bright with high clouds to my south, darker/lower to the north. Big fluffy flakes. It's quite gentle at the moment though it's had a few flurries where it's really come down, but these are short lived.

Just got back from Innsbruck and it's amazing how much a non event snow is. So well geared up to handle it. People drive around like it isn't even there!

THREE SNOWFLAKES !!!!!

North London.

Sort of finding a few things trial and error but is there a cheat sheet or something for the various models, origins etc.?

[RTB]

Snowing in Buxton..... looks like Yipper's "spring" is here.

[Welshbeef]

Nothing yet here in Reading but acuview is saying 7:36am it starts..... Sky is nice and clear so doubt it will. Doesn’t feel that cold either certainly is not say below zero also no ice / frost.

[baxb]

Been snowing for the last 1/2hour here in North Essex, settling straight away. Sheffield, Hull, Birmingham, Stafford, Manchester & Liverpool for me this week between now & Thursday night, could be an interesting week.....

[Welshbeef]

It’s snowing in Basingstoke now

[Sk00p]

Saw a few flurries on my commute from Ringwood to Leatherhead. Had 20 mins or so of heavier snow up here but it's stopped again now. very fluffy stuff, settling readily though
