Turned to heavy snizzle again here. I need bigger flakes ?

Is anyone else getting radar blindness? I think this is a real condition.

All eyes on that heavy blob of snow just existing France as Steve murr alluded to that will deliver an insane amount of snow.

Edit I think it' making a beeline to Dorset purbeck and poole

And just a nudge over to Bournemouth I hope!!!

Not letting me upload the pictures. But it's been moderate here for a while and getting a nice layer now.

The Mendips might just scrape into that zone. Fingers crossed.

I can't even tell where the circle will go ??? I need new glasses.

@divadee - yes, thanks! Just got in. Though I will be working at home. At least I can follow the thread here alongside my work. 

You mean you didn't have the forum open behind emails or spreadsheets???? ? I have all week at the college. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Moderate snow now here in central Bournemouth. Great to see. Himself is home and the baby is home from nursery. Now just need more to settle so I can take her out on the new sledge.

When checking met website put in heingstbury head as opposed to Southbourne beach as the first has 3/4 hours heavy snow where as the other has light snow. To be fair they are about 1/4 of a mile apart??

I am surprised at the difference betwen here and poole but that's ridiculous for Hengistbury and southbourne. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

All we have had all morning is snizzle.  I'm hoping it peps up later on this afternoon. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

@dryjoy the uni is closing. Hope you get back safely. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

I fell asleep for 1 hour to make up for last night and I come back to 6 pages. I haven't even looked out of the window yet ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

This week has been a long long waiting game.  And here we are on D-day and it's still a waiting game

Anyone know if the meto app is reliable? 

It's been pretty reliable this week for my location. It changes all the time but they get it roughly right. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

So meto app has just updated for me. It's now showing snow from 5pm instead of 2pm. It seems to be getting shifted further back  

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

So himself has just taken the baby to nursery  (I'm home alone and relaxing in bed with toast looking out of the windows). Her face when she saw the snow. She just didn't know what to think. She's only just a year old and I think hee mind was blown!!!! I can't wait for later as she just will love it.

Hmmm... I work at the University too. They may not have made up their minds yet, often they don't decide whether to open until about 7:30 or so in this situation. I think we will be open though. Its a bit of a pain as I live between Blandford and Beer Regis, and the weather forecast has a lot more snow for us than B'mth so I am likely at some point to have to make a call on whether to head back home, based on my wife's advice. There is some snow here now but not enough to prevent travel last time I looked.

@dryjoy they have just posted this. Himself is not happy.

The met have delayed the snow for Bournemouth until later in the morning. They need to stop looking at their computers and look out the window 

I was just having a look at that forecast. Meant to stop about 7am and then restart about lunchtime. I was hoping for an all day event. I have also just looked at the radar and I can't see where the next band of snow is coming from. Possibly a glitch on the radar though.

4.31 and 28 seconds roughly 

Let's hope it continues till at least 22.16 on Monday. ? 

 

Looks like my work might of made the right call. Himself who works at the uni still has to go in ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

We finally have some proper settling snow in central Bournemouth. I've nly just woken up so I don't know what time it started but it's a light dusting. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

I have been trying to sleep for the past 1.5 hours. Between himself snoring his bloody head off, and checking the radar I well and truly have insomnia. 

 

 

Edited to add: although the radar seems to be trolling me. It was so close and now so far away.

Me to. And still awake...... I need sleep before tomorrow. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

So I was going to attempt an early night for an early window watch tomorrow and then the bring in a weather warning. Damn It! 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

It's like being the poop in a poop sandwich. Or like Ross from friends when his wife had the threesome. So left out ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

I don't know how I am taking all the pressure for this event. ?

I need a good night's sleep tonight but we all know that ain't going to happen.
