[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

Possible snow here 10 feb with an easterly setting in. One to watch and the last chance saloon for this season

 

[A1X]

There is then a chance of another, colder injection of air from the east around Valentine's Day, which could produce snow showers, but that's ages away.

So there’s a chance of a cold wind blowing through the Amex at the Chelsea game? Prophetic.

Seeing this must go and stock up on toilet rolls just in case

 

[LamieRobertson]

I’m due my annual break for a couple of weeks from mid month…..bound to be snow then

Go somewhere with a warmer climate sit back and relax.

Have you always had it? I used to like flying before say 30 now I don’t like it at all. I’m sitting there on the tarmac looking at the patched up wings and thinking Christ this looks like a flimsy bit of kit.
It’s not a pleasant experience for me anymore.

For a long time ….when at school i remember doing a trip to Holland….loved it….then early twenties went on holiday by myself to Portugal and was scared stiff…..ten years after that I had to do a business trip to Belfast …I only bought a one way ticket (Dan Dare) thought I would spend the whole weekend getting back by Ferry from Southern Ireland ….but plucked up the courage to fly back with BA …always remember the pilot saying we are currently at 30k feet and if you look out the window you will see Liverpool ….promised myself I wouldn’t do it again…..we me it’s being closed in…I might cope if I could pilot the plane…not sure the passengers would though

With me it's being closed in and no way out. I'm not keen on using the underground either, but fine with the Channel Tunnel.

Aye ..that day I flew back I ended up getting the underground as part of my journey from Heathrow to Victoria

I figure with the tunnel least u can easily get up and walk round …30 mins?

Wow! If Sussex ‘Snow Denier’ Uncle Spielberg is giving credence to a bit of snow on our warm shores then I’m in!

Swim?

 

[Badger]

Sorry, my fault. I'm flying to the UK on Friday and bringing the Canadian weather with me.

Lose the snow, bring the maple syrup!

Swim?

lol …nearly drowned once put me off a bit …did take lessons and managed to learn how to swim widths UNDERWATER …as a coincidence I had planned to take one to one lessons this winter but reconstructive eye lid surgery has put paid to that (for now)

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

A perfect scenario of easterly winds from the weekend but there is no cold weather in eastern europe at the moment so temps of around 5C which is no good

 

[Papa Lazarou]

As usual the models have wobbled and then begun a backtrack from any deep or extended cold period. It's still possible, but unlikely now.

It will still get colder towards and during the weekend, but nothing significant.

Late Friday into Saturday looks the coldest period - daytime max temps 4-6C across Sussex, with sleet / rain showers possible with some snow inland on hills.

After that there is a massive spread in the data, so not worth speculating. The potential 'reload' around Valentine's Day has all but disappeared from the output.

Our particular temperatures and snow record are always far closer to this than for Brighton or Hove. 100m up, away from the sea and urban heat island effect.

A chance of sleet or snow on Friday night.

yep. Friday evening through to midday Saturday has both lowish upper air (7-c to -8C) over us and some precipitation. Not ideal, but close as we're likely to get for snow. Top of The Downs would likely see snow.
