Currently 25C in Cheltenham!

Metoffice webcam shows that the overnight snow has melted in Aviemore town but I checked the map for S Slochd near it on the traffic cam where there's still snow - it's at about 1300ft (Aviemore is about 600ft) which would explain why there's still some left over. Does anyone know what the relatively large area of precipitation over N Wales/Cheshire is falling as? Because it looks like it could be possibly heading our way... :lol:

Looking fairly good for my area I reckon - we are in the advisory which says possibly 5-15cm over high ground; at least with some fairly big (1000ft+) hills around in the Cotswolds, there should at least be some snow around so I may have to have a bike ride up Cleeve Hill early tomorrow morning

Jane Louise, dogs32 and ANYWEATHER, I have a video and a picture from our last snow shower Snow shower: The video is better: Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIoUda9unNE

Can confirm a very heavy snow shower - started with rain/sleet but then gradually got heavier as the wind picked up. They weren't large flakes. It settled a little bit, temporarily, on the ground. I took some pictures and a video to confirm which I'll upload if they came out OK.

Think that might (hopefully) be coming our way Was beautiful blue sky about 10 mins ago, now overcast... *opens window*

Thanks for your help It hasn't been a good winter at all round here for snow - the most we had was about 2 inches on the hills a few months ago, whilst down in Cheltenham there was a slight covering that lasted about an hour! But it would be nice to see some more PS. 2cm would be a lot as it would be the most we have seen down at lower levels for several years now! ANYWEATHER - Thanks for your advice as well - I didn't see your post till after I had replied to Nick's. I won't get my hopes up too much but if we do get some round here it would certainly be very welcome!

Hi, Could anyone tell me how it's looking for snow in the Cotswolds region and Cheltenham this weekend? Cleeve Hill (1083ft) near us usually gets settling snow even if we don't have any down here so if there is any on the hills I will certainly be up there with my camera :wacko: Thanks, James.

From a local weather station (about 15 miles away): http://www.selsleyweather.co.uk/NOAAYR.TXT 177.5mm so far; 92.5 in Jan, 30.5 in Feb and already more than Feb so far this March, with 54.6mm.

Started raining yesterday at about 12pm and after a brief break at 4pm it hasn't stopped since... currently on about 30mm...

Good afternoon from Cheltenham in midwinter! It's 16C with wall-to-wall sunshine and not a breath of wind. I propose we abolish winter and have a "late autumn" from November to February, and "early spring" from February until March! It would certainly make more sense since a high of 16C wouldn't be too shocking in May or June...

Three weather submissions:

Here are some wintry scenes for the weather calendar: 20th December: Above the fog on Leckhampton Hill, near Cheltenham: 21st December: Emerging through the fog on Titterstone Clee Hill near Ludlow in Shropshire, with a thick coating of rime. It felt as cold as it looks! This is the summit trig point on Titterstone Clee Hill (533m)

Camborne 93mph

Here are my pictures, RESIZED. I posted the same pictures earlier in the thread but didn't realise that they would be too big... so see earlier thread for commentary. I am throwing a new one in as well. Snow cloud + fog descending down the hill.

Thought I should make it clear that those pictures are taken from a village on the lower slopes of Brown Clee Hill, Shropshire.

Here are my pictures: See the snow picture thread for a more detailed commentary. This is the snow when it was at its deepest (6 inches): This is a view from the lower slopes of the hill, just below the fog line: A hedge, heavily laden with snow:

Was an immense squall earlier this morning - very high winds and absolutely torrential rain. Lasted only about 10 mins at the most, so unfortunately it was over before I had time to capture any video/sound. weather.co.uk recorded a gust of 63mph which I could believe.

WOWEE!!! This has to be a record!!! SIXTY-THREE mph! No wonder I was woken up. Official weather station just recorded for Cheltenham: Rain and Windy 13°C Feels Like 13°C UV Index: 0 Low Wind: From the Southwest at 29 gusting to 63 mph Dew Point: 13°C Humidity: 100% Visibility: 3 miles Barometer: 1001.0 mb

After having just been woken up by one of the heaviest squalls of rain I've seen since June and an extreme gust of wind I thought I would post on here. I tried to get some video/sound but it was too dark and I didn't have time. Current conditions: Weather: Heavy Rain UV Index: 0 Low Wind: From the South at 20 gusting to 31 mph (probably more now) Dew Point: 16°C Humidity: 100% Visibility: 6 miles Barometer: 1001.0 mb

Hi, I was wondering if I'd be able to submit some pictures I took in July, as I caught some quite striking pictures of the flooding in Cheltenham? Thanks.

Hi Dogs, I'm still here, just been away more today... we fortunately still have water running and power for the moment. Sympathy to the worst affected areas of Gloucester and Tewkesbury without power and soon to be without water! It's never just one thing lol!

They're just saying how you'd have to go back to '63 or '87 for such a widespread and devastating event. Also that this has happened before: http://weldgen.tripod.com/the-great-flood-1968/

OH, oh dear, METO Warning: Gloucestershire Heavy Rain 1000 Sun 22 1500 Sun 22 Heavy showers may give up to 15 to 20mm of rain..... http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/...t_warnings.html This will really exacerbate things if it comes.
