lol I love that picture! It'll probably be the closest I get to snow this weekend - the Hampshire shield is up methinks

For a minute there I thought you'd left your beer overcoat at the bar Nick! Last weather check for me as it's past my bedtime temp -3.1c (windchill -5.2c), humidity 66%, dewpoint -8.5

Oh if only that were possible...

Update from me: temp -2.5c (windchill -6.6c), dewpoint -8.7, pressure 1080.3

-1.7c, dew -9.0

Lol no worries, although Fareham is a fairly large place - I'm nearer the M27 than Gosport

Temp dropping here, almost too cold to go outside for a smoke! :o Now -1.4 (-5.1 with windchill), humidity 56%, dewpoint -8.9

ahhh ok, cool - I'll put up with it for now then, cheers Paul

Hi Paul I'm seeing variations of this as it goes through animation stages

Is the V6 radar feed having a bit of a fit coz the "snow" lines/shapes showing are rather peculiar lol Hope it sorts itself out soon if so as there's gonna be a lot of radar watching going on

Good point PB and probably worth posting elsewhere on other bits of the forums maybe? I have elderly neighbours near me and when we had the snow last year hubby & I gritted their paths and I did some shopping for them because I dared to go out. This year I have a 4x4 plus lots of grit so will be keeping an eye on them and offering help too

Thanks Nick I just braved the model discussion forum and was getting rather confused at the seemingly sudden elation & talk of significant snow - honestly I can't keep up with those models, they make my head hurt! Looks like the weekend could be interesting though!

Some "journalists" really should be shot for sensationalist headlines!

I just saw Mr Fish too - had to do a double take but was good to see him on the screen! Oh & LOL @ Nick L!

I noticed that too PB - darn students, bet he's down the pub! Oh & GTLTW I agree, what I meant was I have no expectations and am happy to let the weather "do it's thing" (i.e. I'm not going to stress out either way)

I think I'm just going to settle for radar / lamp-post watching and not get over-excited about snow prospects. Had a look at GFS and the only snow touching Fareham area is on Sunday and the %age chance isn't anything to get excited about imo. Note: I am not being doom-and-gloomy, just realistic

Yay thanks Nick! You've become our sensible voice of reason who explains complicated model-guessing in plain English - hurrah!

Well if that was our snowfall it was pretty pathetic - it's stopped and really was a case of blink & you miss it - you're welcome to it Coast lol

Light snow currently falling in Fareham, Hampshire but not settling

Light snowfall in Fareham although starting to fall a bit heavier now - the little flakes look so pretty gently falling down and swirling around a bit
