Prelude to Cold Weather/Snow - Sun 25th Feb (Onwards)

JCX BXC

Vast Majority of the country staying below freezing on Thursday. With a big heavy band of snow moving down the West Coast Thursday Night and Friday morning. Oh my god I need to stop at the FI charts.

Edit: See Squarecircles chart above, I posted the exact same.

utterly ridiculous, some parts would be under heavy snow for 48+ hours- This is the most extreme of snowy runs I have seen



Country still under -8c to -11c uppers on that chart.

I swear to god if the west nicks all our snow I will hate all of them for the rest of my life

Anyone give a brief rundown on latest charts in simple terms?
Likely minimum temp for each province and likelihood of snowfall
I've been watching all the charts but I'm dizzy now !

Chicken Run

Seriously conflicted here.... Love snow (grew up in the Pennines) own 2 snow shovels (used for lifting horse muck mostly) BUT am also scheduled to travel to the East Coast of the UK on 4th, so am nailed to this thread with great interest.

Hats off to you all for making a biology nerd into a starter-meteorology-nerd !! It's fascinating stuff. (I've followed this board a few years but rarely post.)

Thanks !

Yeah they are speaking to the country as a whole when saying that as opposed to what will be going on in the east
Allied to that they have no detail on moisture features because none have developed yet
The air to cause them isn’t here
Unlike when looking at Atlantic systems that can be seen several days away already born

Ergo Nothing bad to read into there

Have to say you have been calling this to a tee so far! Keep
it up

No need dude, I'll field this one.

Yes, there are some similarities

Seeing that big black blob covering western europe gives me huge endorphine rush every time I see it

Hope you get that JXC, you deserve a good snowfall.

It goes pretty well in the "reliable" timeframe, then it goes nuts and pummels most of the country with endless snow.

It probably won't happen. Its just one of countless scenarios that could play out.
Probably be different in the morning.

The bloody great news is that the opportunities for the kind of scenario we've just seen very much exist. But most importantly, the cold is still on track.

Going to buy extra bird seed, fat balls and nuts over the weekend. It's going to be hard on the wildlife especially if the ground is frozen. I urge people to to the same. Also filling up the car and going some prep work.

I live within walking distance from a Tesco and Aldi so food is no worry. I will be doing shopping runs for the elderly as well.

Well if it pans out that way.

Someone should create a weather readyness thread once things become locked in.

i read this forum back in 2010 and it was spot on, so I'm expecting to look like Macready in "the Thing" come sunday!!!.

Can someone simplify this for me?

I am living in Clare, when can I expect snow going by the latest models? What kind of temps are we looking at this coming weekend?

A bit mad since we are 5 days away from any proper cold hitting us.

Bad news, man.

If you haven't already stocked up on beans and bear mace, it's too late

If it's ok to post again, I'm not in walking distance of shop...
Any tips on what to stock up on?
Thanks

The Daily Mail (via Sky News) has the header "Killer Snowstorms on Way".....

Thank you all for your posts. Was seen reading this thread at work yesterday by a big boss :D:D

It would be wonderful, absolutely wonderful, if we had a Red Alert day next week. A day by the fire with Baileys Hot chocolate, marshmallows, a roaring fire and a good book would be absolutely stupendous. :cool:

Keep up the good work peoples.

Starting to look serious now. Going to be some hardship for farmers, seen a few field of new born lambs on my travels today.

Following this thread closely the past few days, oil ordered, coal ordered, just waiting now. Thanks to all in the know, esp KMtF. I have tentatively dropped hints to fellow colleagues, the ones who travel bad roads about impending cold, am I safe to announce icemageddon yet?
