Heavy snow still here in RWB. Fry up going on and the sledge coming out as soon as the suns up :-)

Air temp -1c dp -3c royal Wootton Bassett barometer drooped 1011 to 1003 since 6pm.

Normally we watch the models put us on for snow and then ship it away to France at T12. Today we’re getting our luck. I was never convinced this system was going to run as progged.

Perfect time for a skinny dip :-0

The gorgeous Lucy bringeth good news :-)

Getting up early on Sunday. 8am sledging with my kids :-) Will probably be rainy by 11

2deg, -1dp in Bassett.

Hope they enjoy it ?

I think it’ll correct south. Every low system always does within the final 18-24 hrs. How many storms /systems forecast over us always end up over the channel. Keep the faith people.

Looking promising a bit more east. This is for my locale.

Breezy in Wootton Bassett. Raining and barometer has dropped from 993 to 987.1 since 2pm.

Barefoot on the patio for 30 seconds was 8/10 for pain. This equates to around -2 for Wootton Bassett.

Very icey rain in Wootton Bassett at the moment. A few flakey bits of sleet thrown in.

Light snow in the don

Hopefully the meteociel ppn forecast on the radar app is right!

My uneducated guess is it will go to our East. Maybe the NE of our region might catch the edge of it. might be rain mind it's not that cold in swindon using my bare foot on the patio method of temperature measurement. A wholly scientific procedure:-)

Cheers fella ;-)

Hi what app is that and o you know which model data it uses? Cheers Marc

From mod thread.... #275 fergieweather Members 415 posts Posted A minute ago Now serious doubts re scope & evolution of second main snow band later Monday based on NAE extrapolation. Story tomorrow eve into Mon am remains consistent. Atlantic push more pronounced later Monday with early lying snow across west melting; rain atop it, out as far east as around Swindon (at least) with WBFL rising above 400m readily. Watch for further developments later this eve. Like This -------------------------- Ian K. Fergusson Twitter: @fergieweather Quote MultiQuote Report

I was wondering..... The meto model is sold on to other agencies and then modified e.g. The bom. Why does it get modified, is it to fine tune it for the Australians weather? Now... The gfs is a USA model. This being the case it won't be fine tuned to the uk weather patterns as to the Americans they aren't really too worried about a few hundred miles here or there for the uk weather. As we are a small island our weather patterns are harder to predict being on the edge of the atlantic and I would expect that the euro /meto /mogreps is fine tuned for us? Just a thought at why the gfs may not be the best for uk weather as its wont be tuned for the exact downstream patterns to infinite detail. Of course I could be talking a load of tosh - can any more experienced members put me out of my misery?

Top job fergie describing an ssw on the bbc!

Bagsy being noah.

Its gone up 2dgs in swindon in the last couple of hours. was frosty earlier now wet.
