[In Depth Model Discussion, Analysis and Summaries]

Any more thoughts at all GP or have you quit now it's spring ???

I think people have thrown in the towel and accepted spring is well and truly here...though in the past, this time of the year used to throw many surprises. Mornings hot enough for sunbathing in April with two foot of snow by the afternoon. The spectacular start to winter has been followed by months of meh...I guess us snow lovers wanted just one more sight of the white stuff. Down here in the south, the soil is dry as a bone already...we actually only had one night of heavy snow...it remained so long because of the extreme cold and very little rain since...already talk of a drought

I knew it ! Nature has been telling me the cold weather isn't finished yet. Everything is still holding back and no daisies or dandelions in the pasture.

The regional posts have been a great idea, especially giving our area its own little forum. Generalised weather forecasts have always overlooked this no mans land !

I will hang about here a little while longer, hoping for one last bite of the snow cherry. A few days ago, my localised forecast from Netweather was full of snow icons...all now gone...sigh...

Any extremes of weather from now on, storms, high winds etc will find me scuttling back to the site

A butterfly hatched out in our shed today, I was torn what to do for the best for the poor little thing. It wouldn't have lasted long bashing up against the cobwebby windows but there are no flowers out yet and a frost due tonight. In the end I set it free and watched it fly about our fields in the sunshine. A short life but a merry one?

I am hoping for one more good snow cover to finish the winter...so many recent forecasts for snow have been downgraded to nothing. One more then bring on Spring! I know, I am being greedy

The netweather local forecast has taken all the snow predictions off my area's forecast :) :wallbash: :wallbash:

Cant have lying snow in march 1947 saw temps in the south of england of -21 with 40cm of snow in Birmingham.

Met office go along with the idea of major blocking and below average temps.

And April isn't called the cruel month for nothing. I remember walking around in a tshirt in an April heatwave then a couple of days later battling in a blizzard.

One memorable day, it was so warm and sunny one morning that some pals organised an impromptu barbeque in the afternoon. By the time we all turned up at their house, the first flakes of snow began to fall. An hour later it was a foot thick. We still carried on with the barby !

The met office local forecast has my area down for heavy snow Sunday night...hmm interesting

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 11]

Snowman....looks like someone's already having a laugh! That snow has surely been put there for a joke and someone's drawn it in the shape of a man with an extremely large...well see for yourself!

They have taken all that lovely snow of the chart now :)

Snowing hard but not settling

Newbie here.

Currently snowing moderately here in Amersham after starting off as a rain/sleet/snow mix. Starting to leave the slightest of coverings on grassy surfaces. Hope it keeps up for a while longer before we eventually succumb to the milder air later on. Still a few patches left from the 1-2 cms we got yesterday

You Amersham lot always get better snow then us Cheshamites....helps being up a hill I suppose :D

No sign of it settling here

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

It is trying to snow here, totally against the forecasts. I suspect the rain will win but nice to see some more white flakes.....

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

It has snowed all day here on my area of the Chilterns but really puny accumulation melting to nothing, snow is pepping up again now which is another surprise as it had faded to nothing.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

Delighted to see snow instead of the forecasted rain but not sure what all the fuss in the media was about...it has been snowing all morning but has only left a light covering that is already melting...so parts of the UK have more snow, er....it is still winter last time I looked

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

Mother Nature 2, Met office O.....second time we have snow despite the forecast of rain..woohoo

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

theres some nice looking clouds out there

you never know snowangel

Indeed, everything crossed

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

I saw another met office advisory for Wednesday...oooh....another chance for snow as we are going to miss out again on Monday...... It was a warning of torrential wretched rain :wallbash:

i am really confused now bucks people.We have a weather watch be aware for heavy snow yet on the forecast its rain

Spotted that too, just too marginal to call I suppose. Down to Mother Nature to decide I guess, and thankfully She does love to give surprises

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

now the heavy snow may be in south tommorow i hope i get a good a good dumping ...do you think it will cause disruption

Met office still saying rain for the Chilterns tomorrow though

As is the netweather local forecast for my area :)

Woke up at 6am to see a lovely light cover of snow, all gone now and it feels too warm for anything but rain

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

Yay...an upgrade and its snowing now !

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

Just seen the met office downgrade :lol: :lol:

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

i hope so

i just want one big last fall

Same here, one last white out before Spring would be the perfect end to an amazing winter

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 10]

Can anyone offer me the tiniest ray of hope for snow in Chesham in the Chilterns? Suffering from being missed by miles and downgrade-itis at the moment.... :(

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 9]

BBC weather has just poured cold rain water on any hope of snow for us....maybe that is it for the winter... :lol:

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 9]

Rain, rain and more rain and oh look ....even more bleeping rain

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 9]

Rain, rain and more wretched rain... :D :D

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 9]

We had a bitterly cold night then woke to find a pretty caster sugar dusting of snow. Now it is raining
