Rain a bit heavier now.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/06/2020 Onward]

As an idea of rain today, an empty (yesterday) wheelbarrow in the open has 2.5 inch of rainwater in it... That's about as scientific as I get

Might move to Hawaii!

Sums up our luck this winter (except the lucky few from this region). -50°C with a 902mb low and still not a single flake.   

Don't it just. Although there was only a few inches of snow in my town, when I went on the Quantock hills undisturbed snow was a foot or more deep in places!

That should ensure a colder than average February!

Lasts the entire week... could save winter. Sadly no snow!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Yeah pity, deep low though!

in the MAD thread at the moment, it's pretty much R.I.P to this winter

there is talk of opera singers clearing their throats and stuff

ohh well, not so bad, some pleasant outdoor weather coming up

maybe a blizzard in June

Don't tell them but deep cold could be coming to my town soon!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Cycled up to Cothelstone Hill on the Quantocks yesterday, quite deep snow in places going half way up my shins! Took 2 hours to get up there, less than an hour to get back!

Roads were clear, could easily walk to work but still ended up with a snow day! Most of the snow melted by early afternnon.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Always hated cold calls!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Snowing heavier now. Met office has us down for snow till midday Friday.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Looks like a small amount of intensity could be coming my way soon!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Small flakes of snow still falling but it is a little heavier!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Garden path slowly reappering, very light snow falling!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Eased off now, measured just over an inch of snow on the shed, temp still 1c. Snow melting near the house.

It’s snowing now after couple hours heavy rain but the ground is too wet and the snow is a very wet snow

We had puddles everywhere but still got just over half inch of lying snow! (so far)

Massive flakes here, alot of them larger than 50p's.

I went to ivalo, artic circle, last year and saw 2 foot fall in 3 days. I was in amazement the whole time and the locals thought it was really funny watching me. Imagine if they came in here and saw our photos and excitement

Yeah, when I was in arctic Sweden some years back (coldest day was -40c), remember walking in some of the untouched deep snow at the side of the road!
