A lake-effect snowstorm brought some serious snowfall to the Buffalo, New York, area on Tuesday, November 18. The National Weather Service said the region could see 12 to 14 inches by Wednesday afternoon.This video shows a time-lapse of the snowstorm sweeping through Buffalo.

In some parts of the region, as many as six feet have fallen within the last couple of days. Depending on the final measurement, the storm could even end up setting the US record for snowfall during a 24-hour period.

This forecast is based on certain solar, atmospheric and sea state conditions that are in place prior to the start of this winter. These conditions will be examined in turn, but ultimately they will lead to atmospheric responses that are likely to influence the forthcoming winter pattern.

Overall the key conclusions are that winter will have the following characteristics:

Slightly colder than average.

Around average rainfall but conditions favour wetter further south and drier to the north of the UK.

December likely to be the most unsettled month with the risk of a significant wind event (though less so compared to last year).

February the most settled and driest month.

Late December and into January is most likely to herald a significant wintry spell, though other major cold snaps throughout the winter are likely as well.

Most of the UK likely to see some settling snow at some point.

Overall Winter CET of 3.5-4°c.
December CET forecast: 4-4.5°c.
January CET forecast: 3-3.5°c.
February CET forecast: 3.5-4.5°c.

I have endured such a storm in Brisbane funnily enough and its pretty hectic

[Crimson Dynamo]

Looks like there will be some snow when a front pushes through sat sun and introduces cold NW air behind it. This will lead to wintry showers for Scotland and some parts of England but amounts of snow will be small.

So if you are say above 500 feet in West England or in Bonnie Scotland you may see some snow showers. :dance:

Yellow warning for snow issued for Sunday into Monday

[Crimson Dynamo]

Severe gales may affect much of North Wales, Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Wednesday with a risk of storm force winds for parts of Western Scotland.

The very strong winds may lead to significant disruption due to fallen trees and hazardous driving conditions. The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel and perhaps also power supplies.

Frequent wintry showers will also affect these regions proving an additional hazard.

Theres a snow warning on for tomorrow LT, possible 10/15cm for anyone above 200 (that's me!) and a possible 2cm everywhere else, how accurate do you think that forecast is? :think:

Its a fast moving situation so it is difficult for forecasters. I would imagine 10-15cm would be for areas at least 350m and above (how high are you?)

The track of the Thursday into Friday system is yet to be confirmed hence the reason the bbc forecasts at the mo stop at Thursday afternoon but they will form them up hopefully this afternoon and evening.

A vigorous depression is expected to run rapidly east passing northern Scotland early on Friday. Winds will begin to increase late on Thursday to give a period of very strong westerly winds across the north of the Scottish mainland and the Western and Northern Isles during Friday. Gusts of 70 mph are likely quite widely with a risk of 80-90 mph gusts. Winds should quickly ease from the west during the day.

The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to transport as well as power supplies and the possibility of structural damage. Large waves may also lead to dangerous conditions along some coasts.

A cold and very unstable westerly flow covers the UK. This will bring frequent showers of hail, sleet and snow through Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday. These will be heavy at times and produce large amounts of lying snow on high ground throughout. However, as surfaces cool off later this afternoon the snow is likely to begin to settle at low levels, with this evening's snow potentially producing locally 5-8 cm above around 100 m in a short space of time, and over 10 cm above around 200 m. Wednesday morning could see similar amounts of snow fall once again, on top of what will already be lying.

There is a little uncertainty about a system waving around the SE on Sunday that will bring some wet snow to the Home Counties (at the moment) so you could see something from that if it pivots a bit more to the South.

Outbreaks of sleet and snow, with rain along western coasts, will edge northeastwards across central and southern Scotland during Tuesday. These will fall on to cold surfaces leading to a risk of some icy stretches, especially across western Scotland in the morning. Upland routes through the Borders and the Southern Highland may see some periods of more persistent snow at times, with further accumulations of 5 to 10 cm possible on the highest routes.

Wondering if you know the answer to this LT because Im genuinely curious and never been able to find out why but when theres really cold weather why is it only England that get 'Cold Weather Alerts'? we don't get them and instead we just get a warning :think:

I think its to do with the separate Public Health England and NHs Scotland set ups. Just like the Environment Agency in England and SEPA in Scotland who issue warnings independent of each other. That and the fact we are colder and so it would not make sense to try and include us.

-8C already as i drove home just there. Just going out in the dark now to relieve myself and the devil dog. The stars above are amazing, you could almost touch them tonight.

my poor wee birdies

:worry:

[Crimson Dynamo]

"An area of snow is expected to extend northeastwards from parts of Wales across the Midlands and into parts of northern England on Tuesday evening and night, persisting into Wednesday morning. Accumulations of 3-8 cm are likely in places, perhaps 10-15 cm very locally on high ground. The snow should ease gradually through Wednesday morning.
"

Places like Derby look likely to get a plastering but if you are in the midlands and above 500 feet you should get a fair bit.

2 dead birds on my walk this morning. A dead Heron and a dead buzzard. Probably froze to death. The Heron was upright in in the snow against some bracken and the buzzard was on the ground.

On the plus side the temp has finally climbed above zero, well 0.5C at 10z. Looks like we will get some rainy sleet tomoz and then the heady heights of 8C on Sunday. :spin:

A cold and increasingly showery northwesterly flow is expected to develop during Wednesday and last through Thursday. Accumulating snow is likely away from windward coastal districts, especially overnight, with 2-5 cm locally at low levels. Higher ground, above about 150 m, could see in excess of 10 cm. Strong and gusty winds will likely accompany snow showers, and lead to significantly reduced visibility at times.
