Harsh Climate

Wohoo weve got around 3 inches now and still snowing moderatly!

''QUOTE (Jed Bickerdike @ 19 Mar 2008, 06:17 PM) This is how I see things at the moment.. Highest risk areas of heavy snow: north/East scotland, Hills of eastern england/scotland. 5-10cm (15cm+ scottish mountains) Moderate risk (2-5cm): linconshire - 70% yorkshire - 60% north east england - 60% central/east midlands - 50% south east - 40% elsewhere - 20>%. Although this isnt taking to account sunday's possible disturbance, if this happens wales/northern ireland/western england will be at risk from some snow.. '' Looks like my early predictions are spot on, linconshire,yorkshire,north/east midlands still at highest risk.. And the south east should atleast see some wintryness :lol:

I wouldnt take too much notice to the exact warnings out now, I think the people at the met office have a new toy and are playing around with it Its the flash warnings that will be of interest, should start comeing out this evening..

Well if we get some lying snow friday night, saturday, sunday, this will easly be one of my best winters lol!

Its quite dissapointing really. I cant believe these showers havent become electrified and its probably too late for it now! With great convergence goin on, high-ish temps and a front moving down from the north west, I cant believe there hasnt been anything thundery! I think the lack of CAPE is comeing into play..

lol, for 95% of the country it should be rated as 1/10, but if you live in shropshire more like 9/10...

The chances of the cold winning at this stage is probably a 50-1 shot. Subtle differences in the charts over the next 36 hours could significantly reduce that though...

Yep that narrow band of heavy precipitation I was talking about has shifted north. Hopefully it will stick around for quite a while!

''He said pupils would be allowed to visit reception to hand in their coursework.'' like hell thats guna happen!....

3cm here and thats without any heavy stuff... Doesnt look like theres guna be any now, unless that narrow band stretching from the humber west spreads further north and maintains its intensity..

snowing ligtt-moderatly here still.. *yawn* Where are the big fat flakes! these little ones are ****......

All I want is the classic moment of very heavy snowfall comeing down, where your thinkin bloody ell this is heavy! If it can just stay like this for another 2 hours Il have another 4 inches....

Its starting to get quite heavy, but nothing to get too excited about...

this snow just doesnt want to get heavy! I prefer snow showers comeing in off the north sea compared to this. Atleast there mega heavy with laarge snowflakes..

snowing now moderatly here, depth 2cm..... still not seen any fat flakes yet...

about 1.3cm here so far. and that is just from light stuff...

woohoo, getting quite heavy now! What makes it even better is, infront of my house there is a busy road, but temorary traffic lights due to road works are forcing cars to stop for ages, allowing the road to quickly cover over with snow! I can see some cars getting stuck there later! hahaha! my predictions for tonight: me 10-12cm groupel 3-6cm james m 10-12cm.

yep, good luck to us all Its just gone really light again unfortunatly.. I hope the heavy stuff doesnt completly die out... I wouldnt think so though.. theres a least a good few hours of heavy snow to come.

woohoo, the weather guy off calender news has just said 2-5cm for lower tonight and 10-15cm on higher ground...(yorkshire) He then said higher ground meaning 100m!

Been snowing just lightly for the last 20 minutes, but everything is sticking and the road infront of my house is almsot covered... cant wait for the heavy stuff to come!

The only dissapointment at the moment is, I still havent seen any big fat flakes this winter! Todays flakes have all been small too.... Can anyone report some big fat flakes falling now? the ones that are the size of small tea plates and cover everything emediatly...

Stop it Robert! Anymore hot chocolate and cookies and Il be sick!

moderate snow settling on everything now! lol I dont believe it, I feel like im getting a cold now!

It was rainy/sleety/haily snow at around 3pm (wateva you wana call it), but now we have moderate snow falling and settling on sertain surfaces.. getting slowly colder though... You shud get a covering atleast..

he he! All that precipitations comeing my way... It can wait another hour though... Just so the temp will have dropped a few points of a degree before it arrives, that way not a flake wud be wasted..
