Which app?

Met office 

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

So either my work are secret meteologists or they are seriously banking on the forecast for tomorrow. They have closed it to all staff and students. 

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

I don't know where the downgrade rumour has come from, but my met office app has finally updated and its a small upgrade for central Bournemouth. Heavy snow symbols for 10pm tomorrow. And more snow on Friday showing.

That is a massive downgrade tomorrow for Dorset east on latest BBC weather!! Looks crap with hardly anything hitting Dorset tomorrow. Guess it's gone west.

where is this? i haven't seen a downgrade

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

Just had to chair a team meeting. It was the longest hour of my life not being able to check the radar. 

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

The snow keeps getting later and later for tomorrow. Started at 3am, then 5am and now 7am. I need it to be thick by 6am or work wont close.

If this is correct for today, it's fair to say I'll be doing nothing productive at 11.00  and will be looking out the window. Would be a nice bonus, maybe they are seeing some of the snow in the channel edging north?

Same here. I will have radar open behind emails. ? Luckily I have a big window as well.

The 0z Arpege is my fave this morning;

Widely 10cm - 15cm and a lot more over the moors by the end of play Friday.

Nope don't like It! That shows us as having nothing ?? I may sob into my porridge if it's true for here. 

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

A little bonus just popped up for today on the Meto app.

Reckon I got 4 hours sleep on and off last night lol

About the same here. Kept getting up to check the windows ? 

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

Can i just say this? 

 

Why? Why? Why? Do we still have to wait 24 hours for the main event? I feel like a kid on Christmas eve here.

Noooooo don’t do it!!!!

Too late.............. 

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

We have woken up to a smattering (I feel like that is a word but not sure this early ) on the top of cars here in central Bournemouth. 

Tomorrow on the Meto app is still looking good but off to have a look in the MAD thread. 

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

-4.1 temp and -6.4 dew point. It' a cold one. 

No more snow flurries here. I just need to get through till Thursday and keep the Faith!

Yes it was there before today but it’s been extended to include the whole region. 

this snow business is sending me mad, as i had definitely not seen it before now!

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

we now have a yellow warning for Saturday in the region as well. That one snuck past me!

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

I am getting no work done. And I'm not even sorry! Radar and window watching and looking at the Meto app is too alluring.

I've been at work less than an hour and I've already got the radar up in a tab behind a spreadsheet!

I have the radar and this forum and keep tabbing between that, spreadsheets and emails. admittedly I'm spending more time on here than anything else.

Sure, Thursday shows any precip falling as snow that makes it in, then Friday this

expect detail to change, but the main message is things are getting better in general for all of our region,  it just away from coasts!

 

Thanks for this. God knows how i have missed It! I have brain/snow fog I think.

It’s even looking good in our neck of the woods at the end of the week @That ECM @Rapodo @Mapantz @matt111  

Can I ask where you have seen this? All mine are looking ropey!

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

Bright blue skies and a temp here of -1.8. I haven't been in the MAD thread. And looking at the Meto app this morning snow seems to have disappeaed again.
