[Snow/wintry Precipitation Reports: 25th November]

Half hour heavy snow in Bristol at 6.30 this morning. Still lying! :lol:

[General Winter Discussion]

I think one of the issues, and perhaps difficulties, is timing the cold air with the ppn. As the warm air passes over the uk, we will see a rise in temp. It just depends on how quickly we can move the cold air in, and hit the ppn.

It could be quite exciting, and similar to an incident last winter.

Thanks for that useful info. So it's all really a bit of a knife-edge situation, then?

Just in case it turns out to be a non-event, I'm thinking of starting up a "how un-snowy was it for you?" thread later on!

Deflated or what

12 degrees and rain for me tomorrow, according to BBC online. Can hardly wait.

Ah, well, it was a nice ride whilst it lasted!

[General Winter Discussion]

Yes, it's so foggy here that in my garden I can actually hear the moisture dripping from the trees! Doesn't seem so frosty tonight, though.

[General Winter Discussion]

For us, 8 degrees and rain on Thursday and 6 degrees and sunny on Friday. I'm thinking of moving.

Ah, well, I feel better now that I have accepted that we are not going to get any snow here.

All of this rollercoastering had done nothing for my blood pressure, anyway.

[General Winter Discussion]

It looks like us in S Glos will be having snow to the left of us and snow to the right of us and that's it Stuck in the middle with a big fat nothing

It'sno fair I'm feeling all deflated

I feel it is not even worth hoping...all that I have seen in the way of charts and the Countryfile forecast show nothing for us.

What an old misery I am

Heavy frost here again this morning. Plus freezing fog which is only slowly starting to lift.

[Frost Reports 25th Sept Onwards]

Hard frost on ground, plants, cars and roofs/rooves in South Gloucestershire this morning. Still need to get a thermometer.

[Will It Snow??]

sorry I thought that was fairly simple I had posted!

is that okay?

John

Thanks, John. The links posted by Evo have also been useful. I am an absolute beginner as far as the technicalities of weather forecasting are concerned! However, where there's a will there's a way and I am determined to learn as much as I can.

I appreciate that many people on here are experts! I would never feel that I was being "talked down to".......just pleased that some kind soul was kind enough to take the time and effort to go through it again in terms suitable for a novice. I do not get offended!

[Will It Snow??]

John, do you have any signs for simpletons like myself to look out for, please?

Mildish and dampish in South Gloucestershire.(need a thermometer and some more technical meteorology-speak!)

[The Garden Is Looking Incredibly Summery, Is Yours?]

Grass still needs a weekly mow here . My geranium is still flowering in a shady east facing nook.

One very annoying thing is that my lobelias set so much seed that the bed that they were in is almost totally green with the seedlings. A good frost last night didn't get rid of the blighters. I must hope for a few more frosty nights.

One of my iberis(es?) is just starting to flower a tiny bit........it shouldn't be starting that until about February.

Beautifully frosty in South Gloucestershire. Until I get an outdoor thermometer I can't supply a temperature, but the water in my birdbath (about 2" deep) has frozen solid.

Beautifully frosty here in South Gloucestershire this morning. Regret that I don't have an outdoor thermometer....might put it on Christmas present list!
