cm`s always make things sound BIGGER!!
This is what 1 foot of snow looks like (12 inches for all you old timers)
-
A nice covering there Mark, more like 1 to 1 1/2 inches here I think, judging by window viewing. Any more measurements out there folks!
Still snowing but becoming very close to borderline sleet.
Not much here at all 1/2 inch at best. Not measured lately though!!
Blimey what's all this imperial measurement malarky ? And I thought I was one of the oldies on here.
-
Right just stopped snowing and the band is nearly at its end, just had a bit of sleet, but won't get rid of too much snow here, we had 10.8cm
Regards,Mark
Good effort Mark !
-
Here she goes! The race is on as is the thaw ... temp on the up now gone to 0.9c & -0.4cdp.
So comparing notes 3cm here . Still snowing quite well albeit wet and you can hear the trees dripping.
-
Hehehhee!! I'm in Harestock so that's fine by me!! Funny you say that I told hubby its snowing in Chilbolton and he said what the avenue? He is a donut sometimes ;-) I'm looking out every 5 mins now lol. Like a kiddy in a sweetshop. Me and Southampton are in the gap on the 4pm radar lol. http://www.metoffice...ather/uk/radar/
Might as well open up this wine and beer I got today for being snowed in. Red, Rose or While anyone?
Ooohh I'll have a glass of Verdello Solera 1851 if you please.But at 20 pony's a bottle better wait till it's a foot deep outside.
PS It's settling now. (not the wine, the snow)
-
Ok so Chilbolton is about 8-10 miles from me! So if it started at 330 but there is sausage all here at SO22. Then it shows how slow this is progressing!!
Patience Beka. Patience. It will stall at Chilbolton Avenue. (local joke)

Yeeyy.
Snowing here in North Hampshire. Started 3.30pm. Light. Bring it on.!
-
Morning Post watchers.
Just had a quick skeg in the southwest thread. Rain in far cornwall as we speak but so far light snow from Devon eastwards. So not a bad start .
-
Mr Fergusson (meto) on the tweets. Reckons still 5-10cm for wilts/glos so system biased more west which is good for us.
-
RJS post worth a read as he has just upped the prospects. The model thread has gone bananas for next week as the latest charts are good for a blast in many places next week. So think tomorrow may well be a pivotal moment.
-
GTLTW will be along soon to up the anti.
I'll go and fetch Yamkin fron elsewhere, he's a Piers stalwart. Oop's that's blown it. -
lol I love that picture! It'll probably be the closest I get to snow this weekend - the Hampshire shield is up methinks
Well pixi I've got to say if our host (Nick) is doing a runner what hope have we got left.
Quick lets all leg it over to the southeast thread. -
This thread is always deserted. Even during the Jan 2010 event.
No joke feb. The southeast is heaviing.
-
OK then to keep it on topic this ? ps where is everyone ?
-
I'm Hoping the NAE 12z showing a slight shift west may give me a tiny grasp of hope! I won't be holding my breath but it's the only thing I have left to cling to!
Try this
-
Ah, but that was for the 1-3rd Feb and mainly in the West, there must have been another sausage in the way - actually to be fair doubling zero is still zero, so he is spot on.
Ah another closet piers fan. B)
He had a caveat joker card which I think he has played on the twit network to include 4th. But I am not sure of the year.
-
OK this is the best I can do at present, piers corbyn says to double output from "standard" forecasts.
So if it seems likely that you are anticipating a 1mm layer you can look forward to 2mm.
-
Just in case anyone has forgotten what the stuff looks like here is a cam that I stole from the southeast thread.

Coast's post 351 is also worth a look.
Edit. Make sure you select the correct camera.
-
So having done the rounds here are a few morsals.
One bloke in the Southwest thread had just packed his tent up and is threatening to go home. Another said ian fergusson on twitter said snow for wilts and glos.
Met office as per warning and to top it off Louise Lear on BBC online has the front sliding from Birmingham to IOW . To the right of this snow, to the left rain. BUT as final analysis firms up the whole caboodle may well shift 50 miles west.
At the moment it's heads or tails and the fat lady is still out. So pending the next round of chart outputs my advice is to go in search of the most promising forecast then you can't go wrong. :winky:
That and some serious lamping tomorrow.
GET those sleds out.
-
Re Diva
O.K That's cleared that up then.
-
Looking at it this morning. It's got to be anything east of Southampton that is going to get snow. Us poor souls west of Southampton it's gonna be rain or nothing lol.
Hoping for something next week! My new sledge is ready and waiting for his first outing!
Just curious Diva, how does one tell the gender of a sledge ?
-
Meto have now put their cards on the table. Well some of them anyway. Still subject to change though. But a bit of insurance as they say to low levels so presume we are looking at uniform temp level throughout.
http://www.metoffice...t_warnings.html
So at present time it is looking like 5cm to the left and northwards anf 5-2cm to the right.
Edit : OK plus the slow moving bit from SE section 5-10cm. So looking at the overlap region around a line north centred I.O.W you/we/me could get a sizable dump.
Here's lookin at you kid. B)
-
Lol
Post 533 from Roger (RJS) on the southeast thread has got to be the ultimate ramp ! I'm still laughing as I type.
10-20 cm tomorrow in some southeast spots with totals throughout the period of 90cm albeit spread about.
And so far not a sniff on the charts.
I do like Roger's style of writing but I am agog here. hey repeat after me !I believe. I believe"
PS Notice he has done a runner since.
-
Frost in north hants. -5 last night . Presently -3. No flurries. Clear skies.
Looks like we might be in with a shout later.
Edit : Should add with more flurries not huge dumps. Don't want to raise expectations too much.
It is Hampshire after all.
Still, the meto are uncertain so still hope yet.
Quick lets all leg it over to the southeast thread.
