Loads left here in Rushden! Got about 12-14cm in the back garden and in Hall Park round the back of the house. Lots more grit down so town centre pretty clear. I lived in Bedford for a couple of years late 90s before moving to Rushden. And in all the years of commuting back and forth only that once - december 2010 - has Bedford ever had any more snow than here!
just goes to show how localised snow can be, a ridiculous difference between my area and yours both today and in 2010, so you got your revenge on us

The BBC Look East forecast from 6.50pm last night was still on the BBC weather site this morning. That showed how desperately wrong it was. A light dusting for the west of the region (Northants) they said, all the snow further west they said. Dreadful forecasting, if the so called professionals don't bother to look at the radar, current temperatures and dewpoints. Are the MetOffice in a bunker deep underground? Even the "Nowcasts" on Ceefax used to be wrong.
That was horrid. We got about an inch, and Bedford got loads. And I work in Bedford so the pain was even worse driving in on the following Monday morning.
looks like the roles are reversed this year lol, though last week we done ok
-
^^post of the day in my opinion.
Last night was a salutary lesson in disregarding whatever the models might be saying, and reverting to radar watching/now-casting/sticking-your-head-out-of-the-window etc....

yep but we never learn and when the next snow event is predicted we will get all excited again 3 to 5 days in advance, its just human nature we can't help ourselves lol
even radar watching is not reliable sometimes as last night the radar showed decent PPN all over me, and all i got was light snow for about 1hr depositing 2cm
-
just remember people that for snow FI is T0

Watching the front stall 6 miles South of Northampton was painful.
dec 2010 was a one off and probably wont happen here again for many years, last week was ok but just a bog standard 3 inches
-10/10
i;ll give it 2/10 as i wasn't expecting anything anyway, practically melted here now anyway
-
my 2cm is already melting i thought it was mean't to be an ice day today ?
-
8/10 3 minutes of freezing rain followed by 7 cm of snow
Lost 2 marks because it wasn't as much as last weekend!
:smilz38:Was the complete opposite last year so no one can complain!!
looks like you have got your revenge as in dec 2010 i got 6 or 7 inches
-
The precip between bradford and hull will explode over the next two hours giving snows to us all
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and then we woke up, it was just a dream
-
Ive just found out via picture on facebook that Hednesford the town 3 miles away from me has a nice thick layer of snow and here its freezing rain and ice pellets
yep we are in the same boat mate, trust me my 1cm is of no consolation
-
why can't the met office/ bbc just admit they were wrong, they are just carrying on like normal
-
the met office will brush it under the carpet like they always do
-
to cap off a poor day the GFS 18z is dire
-
people say don't believe it until you see it, well i saw it for about 5mins and thats all, heavy snow that is
-
I work in central Bedford, and even if you get out towards Ravensden there was a lot more lying snow left this morning for example. Around Thurleigh airfield and northwards we tend to do a bit better, its always half a degree colder or more than in Bedford. But also typically 200ft higher. Still have moderate snow here.
yep im on quite low ground and PPN always fizzles out when it get to me i live in a desert
except for last weekend of course when i got 10cm
-
light crappy snow, already cleared from here now, only a couple of days ago snow was forecast for friday morning, shows how much things change
-
the met office will probably just ignore there errors and brush it under the carpet
at least joe public will be happy, in the areas that snow was orginally forecast
-
6cm of fresh snow here so far tonight, and in places on top of 6cm leftovers from the weekend. I'm not complaining!
im not far from you i got 2cm at best
-
lol radders i thought i was hacked off
who knows this could be the last "snow" event for years now
-
oh well originally i wasn't meant to get anything so getting 1cm is a bonus
not
-
BBC weather have ignored the snow in the south east and the graphics start at 1am in the morning
a case of egg on face
-
typically intensifies when the snow has gone past me
still i have 1cm im over the moon
-
