Model Output Discussion - 8th - 14th January
devon lad replied to kold weather's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Unlikely to be as bad as that suggests whatever happens. However ...... good to see some wintry weather in the forcast. Those clever folk who forcast that the weather wouldn't change in mid January may have got it right. -
Rumbling away now - 2nd strorm in as many weeks! dl

Remember it very well. I moved from Cheltenham to Taunton - and the day I left Cheltenham there was about 8 inches of snow but as we moved South it slowly turned to sleet and then rain by the time reached Taunton. If my memory serves me right it had snowed for a couple of days almost non-stop in Cheltenham and whilst the bottom layer was melting the snow was so heavy that the depth still built up. They don't make them like that anymore! dl

Rain now leaving West Cornwall. As already mentioned the worst rainfall ATM is futher South than expected ..... and it looks as if many areas to the West of the MO 'Warning Area' are not going to expience the intensity of rainfall expected. Also ATM no 'embedded Thunderstorms' as some on Netweather suggested there could be. Devon lad

ATM rainfall totals don't look as though they will be as bad in Devon & Cornwall as the earlier weather warnings suggested. Devon lad

South West England Cold Spell Discussion
devon lad replied to Paul Sherman's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
With all due respect DM .... there is a lot of respect for Ian shown on this site. However many folk do not take good notice of Ian's posts. e.g. he was doubting the comments on this thread of the severity of this event days ago and many on this thread are dissapoited tonight because they didn't take note. There always was a lot of uncertantly about today's events due to the higher temps than last week. When Ian was excited early last week - he was right and we all hailed him. dl Yea ok - my hands are up - not the sort of post folk like. I'll try and post some 'storm of the century on it's way, 1963 arrives again, won't be able to get to work for weeks' posts soon. Not belittleing the fun of these threads - love them. But take note of the experts guys and girls - they have more more information to hand than we do - and a lot more training. -

South West England Cold Spell Discussion
devon lad replied to Paul Sherman's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I can only guess it's because folk only listen to him when he says what they want to hear and critizise him when it's not what they want or doesn't turn out exactly as they would like it to have been in their 'neck of the woods'. I think the Met Office and BBC have handled this event extremly well considering the complexity of the situation. Well done guys. dl PS: I am not affiliated to either -

It was 3.8 C at Shap at 1400 this afternoon and I understand that it has been snowing on the Pennines. The last time I know of snow in England in June was about the same day in 1975 - a few days later the sun came out and we had a glorious summer only eclipsed by 1976. dl

Technically it is still the midlands http://www.picturesofengland.com/mapofengl...dlands-map.html albeit West Midlands. dl
