Ricklovesthepowder, yes cm as Shimmy Alcott says.
It's a German website and for some reason they never really cottoned onto imperial measurements...
Zwanzig centimeter...

nozawaonsen, poo-poo - they're forecasting -18 for my neck of the woods 
Think I'd better cover up the car and turn up the heating! It was very clear here last night as well but sleet came in around 4:30 and luckily removed the worst of the frost.

-30 to -38 trumps -18 last time I played hypothetical unlikely model outcomes...

12z continues to look very cold for final week of November in the Alps, a fair amount of ensembles suggesting things will return to average in first week of December...

The 2010 / 2011 season in the Northern Hemisphere is off to a flier.
Plenty of snow and cold in most countries across North America, Europe and Asia.

This evening's models are just coming out. And the cold is rolling in...
It looks like the snow could be pretty widespread including across the UK (and the far end of FI doesn't hold back on snow options for even the south of the UK...)

nozawaonsen, Is it accumulated snow over a certain period as opposed to new snow?

MoodyFFS, http://www2.wetter3.de/Animation_00_UTC_05Grad/180_24.gif (the 00 indicates 00z, if you put in 12 it will be 12z etc, etc).
cad99uk, yes accumulated snow in cm (between the indicated run and out to +180hrs) as opposed to new snow! It is based on the GFS operational run so very subject to change... but kind of fun.

Thanks for posting that nozawaonsen, seems the models are tending to move towards some agreement although I get the impression snow for the whole of the UK is something that still might be reconsidered but it's most likely in the north and east - potentially great for the Scottish mountains, particularly Cairngorm, The Lecht and Glenshee, of course!
The Mountain Weather Information Service have posted the following outlook for the UK:
| Quote: |
Planning Outlook: All mountain areas of Britain from Monday, 22nd November, 2010
Remaining rather cold on Monday and into Tuesday with a similar east west split to that on Sunday as sheets of cloud come in off the North Sea giving a little precipitation in the east with light snowfalls above about 600m. Late Tuesday through into the latter half of the week the weather will turn exceptionally cold for late November with frost becoming persistent at all levels inland. Clusters of snow showers coming in mainly off seas to the north and east may develop into areas of locally heavy snow. Occasionally winds may strengthen to cause significant drifting. |
Great to see prospects for significant snow across the Alps as well but commisserations Samerberg Sue, sorry it looks like the drive back will be a bit of an ordeal but at least it could mean significant dumps for snowsports. All subject to change and adjustment as usual though I guess so lets not count chickens, or get too worried about drives, just yet

nozawaonsen, Thanks. Just noticed that it seems to be kg/m^2 which does indeed equate to cm of snow. A useful site Ta.

As I said I wouldn't put too much faith in the exact figures they can change quite a bit from run to run as the operational slips and slides around...

nozawaonsen, even though i dont have clue about these graphs etc, i love reading your posts!!! That one of the snowfall is in cm, so are you seriously telling me that in 180hrs from now, Norfolk will have 15cm of snow, calais will have 7cm and cairgorm 29cm??? I hope our right, but i just cant see it!

Ricklovesthepowder, it's unlikely but its pretty much just 'a snowfall'. If it's cold I see no reason why not?

Also keep in mind that the actual figures will certainly change, it's the trend rather than the fact that it says 18cm one run and 15cm the next. Also this is just a figure derived from adding the accumulated snowfall over 180hrs. It would not look like that on the ground over time as the wind would transport it, it would melt in the sun and compact under its own weight.

Looks cold but little sign of snow really? A burst in the next couple of days then a chance in Dec... Or am I missing something? Snow blowing for sure!

MoodyFFS, just a feeling about round 30 November/01 December... Pretty consistently looking like something going on round then... And the control run has sent strong outliers up round there several times in the last few runs (though not an especially strong one in 12z admittedly). There is a low pressure sitting in Eastern Europe around that time, I'm wondering if it might shift closer to the Alps... Saturday night speculation to be honest with you...
Edit: 18z rolling out now...

If 06z's low pressure in the middle of Europe came off at +240 it would be... very interesting...
