Morning from a cold and still bloody dry, Poole. One word for us in the south west - FIZZLE. The one time in years where the ppn would be cast on snow and its fizzles before getting here. Shove off NE winds, we need an Easterly!
I've seen this before. Few years back now. We had weather warnings for heavy snow and it just sat out in the Channel. I will believe it when I see it falling
Looking at all the information the rather predictable downgrades have started for us in Dorset, on the coast. Met office predicting sleet. I wish I could understand WHY it is so hard to get snow here. We used to get it all the time until the late 80s. 2010 now seems to be a once in a generation event. We never get upgrades here. Attention moves to next week now I think!
Snow is rare in these parts. I've seen heavy snow forecast for it to be kept out in the Channel. Bitter Easterly with Channel lows produce the best here but its so finely balanced. 99/100 if there's marginal you can bet it won't snow. If there's a band crossing, it will fizzle. I agree with your realism. Not a flake so far this season. I will believe it when I see it
My cameras have suddenly dropped to 3c. I wonder if there's a chance of a wintery mix later? Still, I'd prefer it milder than marginal. This is wasted cold rain
I agree. We need a channel low from an easterly in Dorset. I'm not fussed about transient snow or back edge risks as they rarely pay off. 2010 is where I'm at
Rain here, it is cold and a serious power cut in Poole to boot. Don't think it's an easy fix as they are digging the road up now. For once I am not enjoying the cold
Camping in Dawlish right now and the rain is horrendous! Luckily we set up yesterday before rain started. Has been a bit scary testing out the tent waterproofing! Holding up so far. Hopefully it will lighten up soon!
