My gosh he is such a mild ramper, even said it will turn milder from mid week next week onwards - Meanwhile, this Saturday showed the whole of the south of the Uk covered in snow showers unless it was cloud cover!? Anyone else pick up on this?



BBC weather website agrees in it turning milder from mid week obviously further north temps will be below average but less cold than the weekend

UK Outlook for Sunday 18 Mar 2018 to Tuesday 27 Mar 2018:

Very cold through Sunday and Monday with widespread, locally severe, frosts overnight. Quite frequent snow showers for a time across central, eastern and southeastern parts, with a few showers reaching the west. There is a low risk of more persistent snow moving west across southern and some central areas, this more likely on Sunday. The brightest and driest conditions in the northwest, but probably extending across other parts, with snow showers confined to the southeast. Windy for many, accentuating the cold feel. Increasingly uncertain later in the week, but with a high chance of colder than normal conditions, after a short anticyclonic spell with severe frosts in places. Probably becoming rather unsettled and sometimes windy from the west with rain possibly turning to snow as it moves northeastwards.

But at this time of the year, it's about as welcome as being ill in a doctor's waiting room. More heating costs only for things to be wet and windy again at the end of it all? Joys of joys.

Perhaps that's just me being numbed by let downs or being underwhelmed by past efforts with the cold and snow at this end, or it's old age creeping in but I just want to be wearing shorts & T shirts indoors and outdoors without looking like a freshly plucked chicken as soon as possible.

It's certainly welcome here, but I don't have any worries with heating costs and I love snow in general.


The upcoming cold spell, incidentally, has been picked up at work - word has got round far faster than it did last time!

I concur. Terrible update for spring. Don't want this at all but looks like a short sharp shock is on the way. Roll on spring and summer.

Whilst we are having temps of 12 to 15c today in England NYC IS having more snow - so this would mean when we get the easterly NYC will warm up haha!

Still snowing there - been snowing for like 24 hours now - but can't see much in the way of accumulation:

Good post, good video.  Highlights the uncertainty.  In these set ups things chop and change til t60-ish so 2 more days of vacillation ahead.

Darren Bett = Perhaps the mildest ramper of all presenters. At least Jay wynne isn't doing as many forecasts.

Still not convinced re the snow showers as it's not showing up on the gfs charts.

Met office

UK Outlook for Monday 19 Mar 2018 to Wednesday 28 Mar 2018:

Monday will be another very cold day, it will also be largely dry and bright aside from a few snow showers. Gradually, from Tuesday onwards, wet, windy and milder weather is expected to make a return, particularly in the north where rain is likely to be preceded by a spell of snow. In the south it should remain dry, bright and cold with some sunshine. However, later in the week, wet and windy weather is likely to push across all parts before we see a return to colder and brighter weather by the weekend. Into the following week there is significant uncertainty in the forecast but a blocked or only slowly changing weather pattern seems most likely.

UK Outlook for Thursday 29 Mar 2018 to Thursday 12 Apr 2018:

There is significant uncertainty in the forecast throughout this period, but a blocked or slowly changing weather pattern is probable. There will most likely be a balance between Atlantic frontal systems affecting the south and west at times with colder air associated with high pressure out to the northeast. Mixed conditions are likely with wetter than average conditions expected across the south, while staying drier and perhaps colder to the north. Further snow is possible, especially in the north where it will also be windy at times. Temperatures will likely be below average with further night frosts, and any milder interludes will probably be only brief.

Lunch time forecast on the BBC, Helen Willets mentioned increasing concern in the south about snow over the weekend....graphics showed a fair amount of white over southern England...although I guess it could have been Cloud! The Beast Mark 2may be a rascal, but potentially a cheeky one! Especially if we do get a few hours of snow....certainly not counting chickens, but potential is there....

I saw that too - also that's the annoying thing about the new graphics - is know what the difference is between cloud, snow, fog and frost. They use exact same colours.
