  1. Cloudy and 2.6° here. Radar claims sleet right over me but nothing falling ? Don't wanna be a pessimist but I'll be amazed if anything comes of all this where I am.
  2. My forecast's gone from rain Sunday and a touch of sleet Monday to ligh snow over several hours Sunday and nothing Monday. Proper nowcasting given the snow'a supposedly starting in an hour!
  3. Some nutcase is setting off fireworks here. I'm assuming it's a fellow Netweather member ?
  4. Feeling somewhat out of it over here in the western frontier of Surrey
  5. Still too marginal over my side - gained and then lost again sleet/snow symbols ? Anyone else from my area in here?
  6. Downgrade again on MetO and NW now in line too - brief amount of sleet Monday. Interestingly, the forecast for my workplace in Wilts no longer has any sleet at all. I daren't check the models today.
  7. Sleet's back for Monday, and this time it's for a full 12 hours. And a bit early Sunday morning. It'll change again shortly ?
  8. I seem to be right on the boundary line, which would explain the back-and-forth re: sleet on the forecast. So close, may have to bundle kiddo in the car and nip up to Berks if they get anything.
  9. MetO has now removed even the traces of sleet for me for Monday, whereas NW has me with 57% of snow for most of the day ?
  10. Filthy jokes aside, the ECM must think we'll be getting the largest sleetflake imaginable. I'm wondering if I should take out extra home insurance in case it takes the chimney off.
  11. Ramp away! Chances are low but I'll take this over the nonsense we've been facing over the last few years. I suspect I'm in one of the worst places for snow - too far east to get anything from the current set-ups and too far west for a lot of the stuff that hits London or Kent
  12. If that comes off I'll be gobsmacked! ? I mean, in a good way, but still! That's a million miles away from anything I've seen from Met...tempering my expectations after several years of bilge, as much as I'd love that to verify. At the moment I'm not even expecting sleet on Sunday, just rain and temps around 7-8°.
  13. I'll be amazed if I see sleet in a lamppost at this rate. MetO forecasts still flip-flopping only a couple of hours out...the light snow they earlier thought my area would get around 1700 today has disappeared, so it's all incredibly marginal. Monday currently looks a bit better but I won't be surprised if that disappears too tbh. The weather does whatever it does ?
  14. Pasted?? Where I am is currently due rain on Sunday and a brief flurry of sleet Monday. Hence the only weather warning I'm under is for wind. I'd prefer more areas get some decent snow than only a few get blizzards. I don't begrudge children in other regions experiencing snow in winter.
  15. I've no idea why you think the south is in any way likely to get a blizzard in the next few days? We're not the ones under a yellow or amber snow warning. You'd be happier if the south only gets rain? I haven't seen anyone express such sentiments about people in the north.
  16. We wouldn't just be "happy with a few flakes", that's just a testament to how snow-starved we are compared to the usual areas that tend to do much better. Congrats on already seeing snow a few times this season. When I lived in both the north and the midlands I was always delighted when the south got to see some snow as I was aware my region(s) had a much better chance of snow each winter, in terms of both frequency and accumulation.
  17. We always get IMBYitus when snow's forecast but what's truly staggering this year is watching a minority of people who're currently sat under MetO warning areas and with a really good chance of being dumped on over the next few days still bemoaning the idea that snow-starved places might actually see a few flakes.
  18. Oh good. For a moment there I feared coldies might actually get some snow in winter and the mild-lovers would have to struggle on through with only 11.5 months of the year, but I'm delighted to see we've managed to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory once again.
