well we've had a slight melt going on. Current temp is at 1c but it feels much colder
fingers crossed for later! -
Just got home and the garden table has about 6.5cms level snow on it, not sure if that is a good place to gauge from though.
Will be good to watch the radar now to see if the 'wrap around' that we are all praying for starts to happen.
If I could work out how to post piccies I would, any help anyone?
when you go to reply click attach file and that should work
-
get a call from the school to pick the kids up and would you believe it the snow stops and the sky starts to clear!!
Are we still due the wrap around tonight and will it reach my neck of the woods??
-
just a little taste of whats in my garden so far.
-
got some really large flakes of snow now, doesn't seem to be sticking to the pavement but settling elsewhere.

Hi all
It's all quite exciting at the prospects of snow! I just wanted to ask what sort of snow events to expect in the luton area? I have been looking at the charts and model forecast thread but it all hurts my head!! 😳
I know there can be and will be big changes that will determine what occurs in the coming days.
-
How's it looking for good old Luton, the band to the east seems on track for here am i right??
Yes I would like to know if we will get any decent snow fall here too.
It would be nice to take the kids over the hills sledging again!
-
Yep the Meto warnings are still down.
But is does say East of England in the box at the top!
I wanna see it
-
Well I'm liking the BBC forecast for what COULD happen over the weekend!! I really do hope the cold wins out, I went and got a snow shovel today as well
-
It has been roaring here since 6pm! As we are the last house and on a corner the wind sounds evil, lots of creaking and low roaring.
Very gusty out, a lot more noise and wind than yesterday.
-
I very much like the amber warning looking like it could be getting closer to my location :smilz38:
It would be nice to wake up to snow tomorrow morning!
But I'm not going to get to excited, well just a little bit maybe :w00t:
I've been watching the MetO change the warnings for snow in my location and it is changing nicely. Its gone from sleet to light snow and now heavy snow for tomorrow morning!
All eyes on my trusty lamp post hehe
-
Yep MetO have my location down for light snow Thurs/Fri so will wait and see.
We got all sorts yesterday from sleet, snow, hail and rain. It was like a weather pick n mix :smiliz23:
-
Wow what a day for weather extremes!!
We have had wind, rain, hail, sleet and snow!
Absolutely amazing
Looking forward to the winter getting a hold of the UK and bringing us lots of snow
-
Wow just had some big flakes of snow mixed in with the rain! Nice little surprise :smilz38:
Feels very cold out and windy.
Current conditions Temperature: 4 °C Comfort Level: -1 °C Dew point: 2 °C Barometer: 990 millibars Humidity: 87% Wind: 32 km/h from 240° West-southwest
Would be interesting to see what thurs/fri brings. The meto keep downgrading the gusts for my location. I guess its a waiting game.
-
What a wild night! Was lovely listening to the wind all night.
Was very dark here this morning with a nice big bright moon!
Can't see any 'damage' yet outside. Will be doing the school run shortly so will get a good look around. The wind did move things about in my garden, but nothing to bad
What will it be like towards the end of the week? Are things still looking bad for the south east? I will look at the charts when I get home later.
-
The wind has really picked up here, with the rain getting heavier!
Latest pressure is at 994mb, a drop of 2mb or so since 19.30.
Wind speed has picked up by 10km in the last hour, not sure of the gust speed as can't find a local station
-
Wow it sounds amazing out there! All kinds of gusty sounds lol
Well pressure has dropped since 17.30 from 1003mb to 997mb.
Quite windy out with rain. I can hear the wind blowing round the house as i'm on the end!
Current conditions Temperature: 7 °C Comfort Level: 3 °C Dew point: 5 °C Barometer: 997 millibars Humidity: 87% Visibility: 9 km Wind: 22 km/h from 180° South
The above reading was taken at 19.30.
Does anyone have a good station for Luton as I am interested in seeing what the gusts are here?
-
Thank you so much to all you guy's on all the updates and data on these current storms.
It's been a very clear day here. The cloud started to roll in at around 3pm and got dark quite quick.
Current conditions here: Temperature: 6 °C Comfort Level: 3 °C Dew point: 2 °C Barometer: 1003 millibars Humidity: 76% Wind: 15 km/h from 200° South-southwest
All is quiet at the moment. I've been watching the charts and the weather warnings change since the weekend.
What are your thoughts on my neck of the woods? Will I see significant wind/rain here or will it be as the MetO predict, winds of up to 51mph???
This would be for tonight through to friday night.

we still have a fair bit on the ground so happy with that!
I am hoping for a nice covering from this tonight but i'm not getting my hopes up until i see it moving back towards me on the radar and we have a drop in temp/dew point which are both at 1c for now.
