Chief Wiggam replied to Coast's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Quite still on the Island at the moment...... Chimet down to F6, F7 in the gusts but the rain is biblical -

Chimet now showing gusts of F9......it may be downgrade ahoy inland but as far as we are concerned this remains a serious and potentially damaging storm -

It's pretty serious here right now so I suggest most people around the South Coast would be delighted to have a downgrade. The evidence however remains less than sufficient to make such a statement. -

MO/BBC showing rain or sleet falling from Monday onwards and temps rising well above any potential for snow - the Atlantic is too powerful right now but so what.......we had a great fall here, third winter in a row. My view is that there will be a mild spell for some days and we need the Atlantic to calm down. -

Chief Wiggam replied to A.J's topic in Regional
It's warmer here now than any time in the last 24 hours - risen from 0.4 to 1.0.....I'm not convinced there is going to be a freeze here tonight - the influence of the sea remains strong -
Temp has remained constant since 1300 but it feels really raw and yes, it's looking very dark towards the south east - are there any thoughts on the possibility of a freeze tonight? There's a lot of cloud and BBC shows +3c overnight here...............a very small thaw this afternoon but foliage and branches still holding accumulations so nothing major

Bo selector - reeeeewind.....impressive - cleared the birds food table at 13.15 - it's white again and looking over the fields it's coming in vast white sheets - winds from SE - I get the feeling (from my location) that this is coming direct from the Channel - attached is a picture from 2010 when a huge snowstorm was coming towards us - the clouds are many miles out in the Channel
-
Eastern side of Ryde - we had a brief sleet shower and the wind has swung round more to the east - snow is obviously slackening off now and BBC are indicating it's due to finish around 1300 - but regardless of that it's snowed!!!!! As I type this I can look towards Culver and there is a lightening of the sky so perhaps the heaviest is passed.

Model Mayhem - Moan, Ramp, Go Nuts
Chief Wiggam replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Met Office saying 8c by end of Monday for the South - it is the blind leading the blindly optimistic on the model discussions - one word "DOWNGRADE"
