    This is damn impressive for Southampton, as has been mentioned before we've never really benifted from these sort of setups - but it's stunning out there. I woke up at 6am and it was a white out, but it's not stopped...it's pepping up now if anything, and it's going to continue for a good few hours yet. Everything tried to start here, busses, work tips etc...but now the roads are dead. All busses are cancelled and the airport is shut, the conditions are only going to get worse.

    Does anyone remember when the south coast central area got the Red Warning a few years back? Does anyone remember the circumstances around that, and why it was predicted to be so bad? (albeit it was downgraded to an amber within an hour or so)

    We had heavy rain here initially a few years back, but then it started snowing and it laid on the puddles. Depends how hard the snow PPN becomes, and what the DP's are.

    Call me what you like! I've had worse! You're testing my memory now...but I seem to remember initially having an Wstly wind, it then banked South Estly IIRC - bringing the cold air over to mix with the PPN that was coming over. I'm pretty sure that's what happened, although someone correct me if I'm wrong as the 2009 event here was pretty similar in terms of totals.

    As far as I'm concerned, it's still game on for Southampton and us coasties. Not sure why I'm seeing these downbeat posts, when the actual event isn't even here yet - and wasn't forecast to be here until the morning. I remember the event we had in 2010 very vividly, and I remember these forums saying similar as the coastal cities did see rain/sleet initially, quite hard for a time - but this gradually turned into snow as the night wore on and the winds changed direction, and we had about 5-6cm's in Southampton the next morning. Snow is a funny thing to forecast, so there's no point in writing off chances until we're actually in the event!

    We had a bit of rain here, but thankfully most of the snow cover is still here - a nice decent amount too, and we're below freezing again so the roads look a bit of a nightmare.

    Still properly snowing in Southampton, no change really. A very nice covering so far.
  8. sclarke
    It's not, very heavy in Southampton and it's also snowing on the IOW.
  9. sclarke
    Heavier in Southampton. but the temp is still rising - odd. Absolutely no wind at all, totally calm.
  10. sclarke
    A really nice covering in Southampton now. Getting heavier still. Worryingly the temperature is now starting to steadily rise.
  11. sclarke
    Kind of stopped now in Southampton, possibly now in that little gap before the main event. Quite excited now.
  12. sclarke
    It's heading right for Southampton.....IOW should get a decent event from this too.

    Just an update from my location. I'm in Southampton, near the Nursling area and it's currently snowing. Pretty light (getting heavier by the minute), but it's snow and it's laying on the cars and the road (slight dusting) Current temperature is -0.3 and falling steadily DP is -4.9 and it's rising steadily. Wind direction is coming from the east. Looking at the radar the heavier stuff is yet to arrive.
  14. sclarke
    Yep, agreed. Wind perfect too - coming from the east, and the PPN is only heading for us.....
  15. sclarke
    You'll get some snowfall, sure of it. Everything is perfect for it. even on the extreme cost like I am - i'm getting snow.
  16. sclarke
    -0.1°C with a DP of -5 and rising slightly, perfect conditions. This is going to be a great event for us coasties as the wind is as thought, coming from the east.
  17. sclarke
    It's falling as proper snow over Southampton, not sleet. So that's a positive for the long-run.
  18. sclarke
    At last, proper snow in Southampton! Laying on Cars, pavements etc - pretty light, but is still giving a decent dusting. More heavier stuff to come by the looks of it.

    The model runs this morning are showing this as an excellent event for those that had snow to rain last time. Don't give up hope, pretty sure we'll all see snow for this one. As others said, it's mainly the direction it's coming.from this time that is favorable. Last time it was west to east, and the milder air found it easier to penetrate us. This time it's north to south so the colder air will be more engrained and the front hasn't traveled over the sea to pickup the mildness, so we shouldn't see any incoming mild temps to scupper it - and also the wind looks set to be from an easterly direction on the coasts - so if it stays as it is, it's pretty much a snow event for all. That's my take on it anyway, I'm not the most experienced model watcher but it's what I've picked up looking at them over the last few days (and today it has really firmed up)

    Not sure how people are saying ''non-event'' - what models show this? To be honest the fax charts and the models show this event favouring us further south more than the last one. Also the wind looks set to be from the east, so I have no idea where someone has got the southerly wind from.
  21. sclarke
    It does look a nicer setup the further west you are. Unfortunately the curse of Southampton being in the middle of no where strikes again! We're never far enough east when it hits there, and we're never far enough west when it hits that side. Nightmare! These sort of events are always a nightmare for us, Pompey and the IOW. We need a proper Chanel low being driven by an eastley wind to get any decent event.
  22. sclarke
    Let's hope so! Tonight is absolutely bitter though. Fair bit of cloud cover in Southampton but we're still down to -4.5.
  23. sclarke
    Looks like we might have another shot this week then. What are peoples thoughts on the extreme coastal cities this time? We only got rain in the last bout, but I think that was more to do with the direction of the wind than anything. Temps and Due points were pretty good until the wind direction changed. If that's more favorable then we may be in with a shot at a decent covering as the models show the battle ground this time being much further west.
  24. sclarke
    Looks to have downgraded significantly, next week just looks cool and dull. Nothing to shout about at all.
  25. sclarke
    What's that based on? All i'm reading is that we're back in the freezer next week, all the charts show a prolonged easterly attack, followed by a northerly. There is nothing in the models to suggest winter is anywhere near being over.
