They often deliver in Reading

A scandi but wrong shape and no real cold to tap into alas

Interesting, On the 18th I was in Horsforth and there was lots of slush. Drove back to Reading and the same pretty much all the way. Once I got to Reading there was even more slush!

Are you referring to Beast 1 or 2? Beast 1 was like that but Beast 2 a slush fest by Sunday (it only started Friday). this was the mid march one

Here is Reading, Central Southern England. Granted, given an ice day and cloud cover then the snow will stay but both a very unlikely for more than a day in March. I was staying in the pennines during last years March beast and on the Sunday (the Saturday was when all the snow showers really got going in the eve) with watery sunshine it was a slush fest, even with the temp at zero and with that altitude. Sure its still fun after 14th feb but not what most are looking for

As interesting as it can be in March its no good down here for anything over a day or so. As soon as the sun appears its gone

Thanks

Is -9 actually that cold though? Wouldn’t that equate to 1-3 degrees above.

And in laymans terms Knocker if you wouldn't mind

My records for tilehurst, Reading (90 metres asl) Mon 26th Mostly Cloudy, snow flurries throughout. No Lying Snow Max temp 2.2. Tues 27th Sunny morn. Increasingly heavy snow showers throughout afternoon. Dusting, melting in Sun covering after dusk Max Temp 1.2 @ 12pm, -1.5 by 1:30pm -3.0 by 3pm -5.4 by 7pm Low of -6.8 under mainly clear skies Weds 28th Dry and sunny till late afternoon then 2 heavy snow showers Max -1.5 -3.1 by 3pm -5.2 by 5pm Remaining between -5 and -6 under cloudy skies overnight and windy Thurs 1st Cloudy with heavy snow am, 1 to 2 inches blowing around. Dry till 3pm and then heavy snow and blizzard like conditions till 7pm. 2-4 inches but hard to tell as blowing around all over the place. Max – 2.4 @12:30pm -3.8 by 4pm -5.1 by 7pm and remained so throu most of the night Fri 2nd Light snow am. Snow moderate to heavy lasting from lunchtime till around 6pm. Wind dropped and an extra inch or 2. In back garden where level measured at 4.5 inches. Obviously some blowing/sublimation/compacting over the few days. Brief snow beginning again at 8pm, but felling much wetter and relatively warm. -3 at lunchtime -1.8 by 8pm -0.8 by midnight. Overnight game over with waking to drip drip on Saturday morning

Re the temps; these were real temps under cloudy and windy skies if you know what I mean. Other lows quoted probably under clear calm skies?

It was a truly fantastic event, particularly temperature wise but sadly cut too short. For my area (Reading), a little more snow and 3 days longer and it would have been only slightly less severe than 91

Wow, this was way out. Lets face it, as far as the medium term signal is concerned they got it very wrong.

33cm in Tilehurst on 6th Jan 2010 25cm on 21st Dec 2009

I wouldn't bother if I were you two PUP

Heavy snow here in Reading adding an extra few cm's already

Temperature at Reading uni is -3.3 at 12:30. Temp in Tilehurst is -4

No. We managed to miss that as well ? hopeful for today though and we have a covering. -5.2

You got some. Moderate in reading with a covering already. -4.8

That's got snow over Reading but there wasnt any

Hope you are right. We have literally been in between 2 thames streamers today!

Maybe we will get lucky tonight, tomorrow or Friday.

Its been a strange one here in Reading as well. Great temps and incredible to see. Part of the Thames is frozen. However, we only have a dusting. Showers to the east, north, south and west. Its been unbelievable

Thanks. Tilehurst, so possibly then

Wonder if it will make it to Reading
