[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Snowing very, very lightly here in Trowbridge...

Just did a "lamp-post check"!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

This is turning out to be one heck of a winter so far!

I usually have to have a skiing holiday to get my snow-fix... Not required this year!

Hope that evil "Atlantic South-Westerly" gets thwarted next week (once it's dumped a good load of snow on us, of course!)...

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

I guess someone removed it, went on lunch and the next person thought, "wtf" and put it back again.

Performance related bonuses n all.

Or maybe there's a hacker from the SE Thread doing it, just to mess with our heads!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Warning removed for Sunday, god knows why maybe it's SE ramping up time lol.

I just noticed that too...

I've just refreshed the page (for the Met Office warnings) and now it has the South West in YELLOW again for Sunday...

What's going on!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Most of the roads around here seem to be fairly good (at the moment!)...

Actually made it into work in Bath today (not in my car, as the roads on my estate are still pretty dodgy).

Went outside about an hour ago and the windchill factor was awesome (there was no wind here at 07:50 this morning).

Another 10cms in Trowbridge would be very nice, thank you!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Looking good for sunday and monday then.

However, i fear the problem round here will become quite bad.

As from tomorrow, Gloucester gritters are ONLY gritting major roads and the list of roads they will grit has left my road out.

Theres a big road that goes through abbeymead and abbeydale that links us to the rest of gloucester.

Its been bad but has been gritted.

However now there is no more grit for this road.

So any snow will make it pretty much un-usable.

A cocktail which is made up of Irish Cider, tequia and port.

Its Stong, yet mild and very wet.

Is that shaken, stirred or layered?...

Might ask for an "Atlantic Attack" next time I'm in a TGI Fridays... See what the reaction is!

Anyhow, it's now -8.0°c here, (apparently!).

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

WeatherBug now going for -8.0°c in Trowbridge...

Must've been a slight blip earlier with the -0.2°c reading! :o

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

WeatherBug now saying -7.0°c for Trowbridge!!!

It certainly feels very cold outside (colder than last night), but got my doubts about it's accuracy!

Maybe it was just having a "funny 5 minutes" earlier... But should I trust it?...

Wow! That is pretty cool (quite literally!)...

Looks like a still from "The Day after Tomorrow"!!!... Although not quite at that stage (yet!)...

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Spotlight going for the snow sunday and into monday, "widespread and significant"

Nice! :lol:

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Just finished uploading a dozen or so pictures of Trowbridge, taken yesterday...

Winter 2009/2010 Gallery

According to WeatherBug, temperature has risen to -0.2°c in Trowbridge (up from -3.0°c about an hour ago!). :lol:

Anyone else's temperatures rising (weather-wise, of course!)?

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Down to -3°c in Trowbridge @ 17:56, (according to WeatherBug).

Roads (and some footpaths) on the estate are still like ice-rinks!... Tomorrow morning could be interesting

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Beautiful day here in Trowbridge!... Plenty of "Sunny sunshine" :lol:

If only every winter could be like this...

WeatherBug going for a current temperture in Trowbridge of -1.7°c at 14:00, so still pretty cold here! :lol:

Road on the estate is link an ice-rink!... If only I had my own skates!...

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

yay we have snow its a snowing...

My folks have also had a good covering, just outside of St. Ives... First time in ages!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Hi Schmac, it got down to -7.8 here last night, I'm in the newtown area so could have been a touch colder on the outskirts.

Morning rockhopper.

Well, WeatherBug (on my BlackBerry) said it was -10 about an hour ago (not sure how accurate that is though) and someone else just down the road said it got to -10 too (but not sure where they got their info from). That's for the Paxcroft Mead area.

Solid ice on the roads around here. Doesn't look like many people are venturing out to work!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Will we get into negative double figures by the end of the night?...

The morning rush-hour could be "interesting"...

I just posted your figures for Trowbridge at the bottom of page 13.

Fiona

Thanks for that Fiona.

Are those figures available on Netweather, or from another source?!

Thanks.

It was -6 here an hour ago.. wonder how much colder it can get.

Edit; From Boscombe Down

Hmmm, that's pretty chilly (and not a million miles from here), so the temperature here must be somewhere in that region too, if I had to guess.

I think it's got down to as low as about -8.5 here in recent weeks, so tonight could beat that :lol:

I'm getting sorely tempted to buy myself a basic weather station... Should have asked for one for Christmas, with hindsight!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Anyone still online from the Trowbridge area?...

I'd love to know how cold it is here!...

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

I'm just so jealous now. The whole country has had decent snowfall and all we have had in West Cornwall is a brief dusting. Just what needs to happen for a decent dumping down this far west?

I know how you feel! I used to live just outside of St. Ives (until 2000) and the only decent snow I can remember was 1991! :blush:

Maybe you'll get some on Sunday, if things pan-out as hinted to on here!

Currently clear skies over Trowbridge... Does anyone in this area know how cold it is at the moment?... Unfortunately I don't own any "weather gadgets"!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Nice pictures Schmac, the only time our town looks pretty is when its covered in snow! lol

Cheers rockhopper.

At 01:30 this morning, I was wondering whether we were actually going to get any snow at all! Had a look out the window at 05:30 and there was a slight covering, so was really surprised at the amount we had when I got up at 07:00!! It must've hammered it down!

Here's hoping that the South West can get another pasting on Sunday (although that's a long way off - in snow-forecasting terms!).

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Hi everyone.

Have been following this thread for a while now (since about Part 3 (I think!)).

It was great to wake up to about 10-12cms of snow this morning, as Trowbridge has been in the "No-snow Zone" all winter so far!

Long may this cold, snowy spell continue!!!

It was snowing here about 20 minutes ago, but has stopped again now.

Thought we were in for a bit more around now (looking at the NW Radar), but it looks like it's slipping just South of here... Typical!

Attached (hopefully!) are a few pictures of Trowbridge in the snow.
