Hi, I'm a snow lurker so have been reading on here for a few days. Happen to be up as I have a 3 month old currently snoozing on me! Wow! Just had a quick peek out curtains but no streetlights . Think I saw white on the roof though

Oh well .. better get the  Poole, Bournemouth and Purbeck snow shield out then! Guess we'll just see our normal predictable rain as always!

I fear you may be right !

Help! Due to go camping this evening (purbeck area) but only for a couple of nights. Do we go ahead or postpone to next week.... not bothered about rain and wind but don't fancy lightening... any thoughts as to whether it will or won't?!

According to the radar, rain is already turning to snow in some parts of the region. 

I am under one of those pink spots but I can confirm no snow or rain at this moment! Temp going down fast though and wind getting up!

Morning all! It's pouring with rain here which I know was forecast but if it does snow, will it be able to settle?! ?

This is torture! Horrendous and can't go out yet the only snow we've seen in years and an excited 4 year old who doesn't understand why we can't go out today but could yesterday! Been following your posts for days Karlos! ?

Every time theirs talk of snow this forum is there to work it's magic and draws you in!. This is what makes netweather great, so addictive, Great fun. All eyes on the radar and GFS for the next 24 hrs!

Yes it draws you in and then you tell everyone it's gonna be big and then it doesn't happen!

Sounds like a good idea! Best not to expect anything then we will be pleasantly surprised! Night all x

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion:]

Would you like me to phone up the radio stations saying your school will be closed Wednesday then hey presto no kids so you can take the day off to play in it heh heh,nobody will ever know

Ha Ha! A special code has to be given by heads, think people have tried it in the past! Weather forecast didn't look great....

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion:]

I am in love with the weather forecasting Lady on tonights BBC South Today not only did she mention Dorset for snow she even narrowed it down to marginally more snowfall for the Purbecks in Dorset poss 10cm,my doorstep!!!!!!!!!!! .......... believe it when I see it!!!!!!!!! 18Z looks more like sleet

Really??? I missed that. 5 mins to go until next south today! Yipee!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion:]

do I read it right (guessing the School) that some of your children get to go tobogganing on Bulbarrow then? lucky so and so's if they do - I struggle to get up there when I can for some of the best runs in Dorset.

Not while they're at school! But yes, I do believe they have had some fun tobogganing! And finding chinooks in fields!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion:]

Thanks guys.

I was thinking about just keeping them home. Rgearding the school calling, if it does not snow where they go to school(which is off the moor and much lower than here) they probably won't tell us to pick them up. It has happened before, and driving across the moor with your kids in the car during a blizzard is not fun.

Keep them home I think.

Speaking from a teachers point of view, last wednesday when it snowed here we were very aware of the children who lived further out and called their parents immediately. We are a very rural school and cover 4 villages in 3 bases. We managed to 'evacuate' all children in an hour on 4 different bus trips. Likewise, those parents who saw it coming phoned in first to ask if they could pick their children up. If it doesn't snow it would be a shame for them to miss I day, I know it doesn't seem like much but they may miss an important chunk of work. Soz, that sounds really dull doesn't it. I'm hoping for snow as much as the rest!!!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion:]

Is the snow likely to settle if it does fall? Roads and pavements here are soaked and most of the snow has melted?
