Horray for Swindon missing out on the show of the last 2 decades!
Bloody annoying isn't it!
-
Hey guys! How exciting this is! Hows Wiltshire looking for this upcoming event? Good i would imagine????? Further inland and in the firing line?
-
Just woke up and it would seam like we've had nothing in Swindon at all! Total rubbish! When are the forecasters actually going to get it right for the N Wilts area? They've ao far been wrong all week and constantly changing their minds.....argh! Frustrating
-
It is going to be very cold and mainly cloudy with constant light snow which could drift especialy on hills just about every where in southern half of the UK from what i gather.
2-5cm widely up to 15cm highest ground and more so eastern facing high ground.
Did i mention it was also going to be cold?
Thanks! So thats for tomorrow right?Any idea about this supposed heavy snow for early next week????
-
Ok guys so i'm now really confused. . . again! haha.
All these different charts and discussions are confusing me and i now don't know what to expect from tomorrow?
Can someone please clarify what is now being forecasted for the weather over the next few days?
So far i'm have the idea that there will be widespread light snow tomorrow but with potential for further heavy snow from tuesday in to weds????? Is that correct? Any idea where this snow will fall? i'm in Swindon.
Thanks!
-
Why would anyone be in shock? What's happening? LOL
-
I too am confused. What's happening???
Are we getting light snow tonight and tomorrow or not?
-
Left Swindon at 6:50 this morning and some light snow flurries we coming down. Looked like there had been a bit of snow over night? Temps were up to about -2.
So what's the deal with the snow coming over the weekend? I'm guessing we will see some but i guess the question is just how much. Looking at things it would seem it won't be that much???????
-
Just seen the new Met office warnings for Sunday to Monday. Trying not to get too excited just yet as it's a few days away and i almost had a mental breakdown on Tuesday with the changing forecasts and then when the snow didn't come as early as predicted! haha. We'll wait and see what happens!
-
lol that indeed it does, at least we don't have that "lovely" christmas tree in the middle of the magic roundabout now haha.
Am I looking at the forecasts right? GFS says we're in for light snow all day every day from sunday right through to wednesday O_o
URGH that xmas tree in the middle of the Magic Round-a-bout in 08 was awful! I actually made a complaint about it on a group on Facebook and they were published in the Adver! Hilarious! Not too sure where we are for Monday but Snow looks good for Saturday morning and then some more Saturday evening through to early hours Sunday with i guess less accurate predictions for more on Monday. This is looking to get pretty nasty by this time next week. YAY another week "working from home"!!!

Down to -7.7 last night in swindon. Currently at work in bath and it's still freezing! I've noticed we've got about 2-3 inches more snow than bath and chippenham do aswell.
Where did you take those pics from weather_freak? they're great
Pics are taken from my apartment in the David Murray John Tower. Love watching the snow fall from up here and see it blanket everything in white. And yes, Swindon looks 150 times better covered in snow! haha. Pics were taken yesterday so no sunshine. Looking forward to more snow this afternoon according to BBC?

Swindon Town Center

-6.3c here in Swindon town center at the moment. Loving the views i have of the frozen town. Will try and post a few in a minute.
Heavy snow forecasted again for Saturday evening in to early Sunday. Any chance this will pull off?
-
So for the SW, what is the forecast looking like now for the weekend? Am i right in thinking that the below charts are suggesting further snow? This one is particular is for early Sunday?
-
Can anyone check the Netweather Radar for SN1 for me? Am i due much more snow throughout today?
Thanks! -
Had a good 6 inches here in Swindon. Love it! Snow day! YAY!
-
All this excitement and change in the forecasting is giving me a huge headache! Still nothing in Swindon. . . trust it to miss us!
-
apparently 20cm in Wiltshire falling.
Nothing as yet in Swindon? Whats going on? I'm getting so frustrated and annoyed as i've told so many people it's coming that they now think i'm telling lies! haha
-
It's so annoying for me as it seems to be swirling around Swindon so far and only missing us by about 10 miles!
-
This is really now starting to do my head in! Oxford (where i work just 30 miles NE of Swindon) has had a few inches already and nothing here in Swindon since 2pm this afternoon. I know it will come but i want lots of it!! :lol: COME ON!
-
Starting to get impatiant now! Watching BBC news 24 and Reading has loads of snow. Come on!
-
Still good as the band heads north, then west then south again.
Great stuff! So thats why it won't hit here until later tonight as it's got to go up and swirl back south again first and it's moving very slowly. Just hope the snow doesn't die out first! haha
-
Ok getting confused again! What are the chances for Swindon looking like now after a few hours? Am i right in saying the majority of the bad snowfall will be back east Reading/Basingstoke way? No snow here at the moment and temps are at -0.1c
-
unfortunately i don't have access to the latest 5min radar which is quite frustrating! :ph34r:
