Just a few days ago people were saying March was going to be very cold and snowy, but now winter is "over"? It's laughable how unreliable the longer range forecasts are! Don't bother getting caught up in them as they've rarely or never been right this winter..
@fergieweather: W COUNTRY Track of snow area will be southwards of circa M4-Bristol, perhaps giving 1-2cm on Mendips Plateau and uplands of E Somerset.
The current lack of PPN could be a blessing in disguise as a lot of the water near me in draining away. Hopefully better chance of settling snow for us all later.
Just goes to show the panic and misery related to snow many days before its forecast to hit is ridiculous! Only take notice 6-12 hours before and even then it's changeable. . .
We could still have lots of snow to come, but you are right about it not sticking around. The chances of sticking snow are decreasing day on day with the suns rays getting stronger. Especially the closer to sea level you are.
Anyway it's currently pouring down with rain here. I can barely see S Wales on the radar!
Looked good for a bit of a covering higher up in E/SE Wales mon morning, although after all that rain and the snow not very heavy, it may be too soggy!
Some areas of S and SE Wales have light sleet/snow forecast on the M.O website for Monday morning. Better than rain or nothing at all.
There may be more upgrades.. I hope.
Wow I've seen lots of photos of streets completely buried.
Where does the snow actually go? It looks like people can't physically get out so is there a rapid melt coming or what?
Amazing how much snow we could still be getting, after an already big snow event in January..
Some years in Newport we barely see a snow shower and 2 hours of settling snow. This winter is far from average, for here at least.
Wow! I knew it felt strong on the coast, thank god I wasn't imagining things. :-)
Seems strange outside now though, quiet with little or no wind.. Calm before the next storm hopefully
