I’ll have to check on an old computer but I know there’s been decent snow cover in my area since 2010. I remember driving to work with lying snow around for the best part of 10 days
-
Throwing my opinion in the pan. Possible passing light sleet or snow showers or flurries for this part of Hampshire tomorrow and on to the weekend with best risk of decent snow looking like early hours of Monday.
-
Wow is it really that long ago that there was a decent chance of a snowy Winter? I know I’ve not logged if for a while but according to my profile that was 7 years ago in 2010! ?
i think it’s down to living in Hampshire, anything from the North never comes to anything thus far inland and south and any cold event from the south is killed off by the IOW ?
-
steady light snow since about 10am, bright with the sun breaking through, very nice wintery scenes, may go for a walk on Danbury Hill after lunch
-
Ok, good luck to all those staying up for the night. I'm just going to hope it's like all my Christmas' at once in the morning but from a damp cold wallop it time to turn in and dream of deep drifts and crisp white snow.
-
is it snowing there wallop?
cant work out whats going on here, snowed all day very light now its got colder it has turned to sleet!! got a crunchy white slush on the ground, nothing on cars but grass is white!!!
Was snowing on and off all day here got dark and that's when it turned to sleet and rain. Nothing on the ground here. Pots of water frozen but can hear water dripping off trees etc. All very weird and the temps seem to be creeping up. Only hope the wind and temp changes forecast for early hours come off but with wet ground it will put us behind those that have snow or ice on the ground already when it comes to the cm's on the ground tomorrow
-
Temp now +2 dew risen to 0 humm... The wait is on
-
Temp +2 dew -1here in the Wallops according to xcweather looking good
-
This sleet rain around here giving the gritting lorries a nightmare, they've been through twice already tonight on the A343 but IMO it looks like there's enough water around to wash it away again. Going to big ice problems
-
giving a bit of rotation form the northerly wind it will run dorset/ wiltshire at a guess, when i first saw it i thought Sailsbury.
think i will be in bed before that gets here!! if it got here!
Warminster to Salisbury was my thought to, Salisbury Plain will probably help steering it back West a bit. Won't bee stopping up to watch and to top it all the wife wants the PC so I'll have to sign out and stop watching the radar too. (Now where's the ipad?)
-
You can quite clearly see it's heading for the hants/wilts/dorset border.

Fingers crossed for a little unexpected snow action. Who's running the sweep?
-
there was lying snow out this way wallop, Weyhill .
Was you snow less at wallop?
as others have said it was 90% rain by 10am.
Must admit I wasn't up until 8am but no signs of any snow at that time and no one around here mentioned any. Watched the radar on 'will it rain' last night and most of the wet stuff passed by on either side. Was dry here when I left for Amesbury at 9am. Came home around 10pm and the only winteriness I experienced was some splats of slush against the screen on the top of Beacon Hill. Sounds like we missed out by just a few miles.
-
Does anyone think that the potential band of snow on Friday could reach as far east as Newbury?
Thought you had snow today? was gutted to see snow at the M4 / A34 interchange knowing that was only 20 mins drive away but I had to go West
-
Sleet around Grateley on the drive home from Amesbury about an hour ago. Car temp gauge reading between +2.5 and +1 on the journey
-
Just driven to work in Amesbury the car registering a constant +3.5 degrees on the 10 mile drive here in steady rain. Biggest shock this morning was the amounts of surface water on the country roads, in several places it was across the road and the fields look absolutely saturated. Shows how little the water levels have dropped since the last period of heavy rain
-
perhaps the mods should post the link to the moaning thread before the model output images hit this forum
-
Am I missing something? these are just computer generated models, they don't actually control the weather and nothing they predict is actually cast in stone. I'm amazed at the number of people who seem to be taking these outputs as gospel. We still have a long way to go when it comes to correctly predicting the weather beyond a few days and it is still only wednesday and the constant moaning on the model forums when we miss a bit of a chilly period is one of the reasons I stopped visiting and interacting with the forums.

Just saw Boscombe Down, just a few minutes drive from me showing in the data charts as currently at -5.1 thats cold enough for me to call it a night and throw an extra chair on the fire. Camera charged ready for a few foggy frosty snapshots tomorrow morning
-
To help put things in perspective, here's an uncropped image of the cloud, the funnel is in the middle of the shot, this was full zoom on an 18-55mm lens with a uv filter fitted.
-
Definitely a funnel cloud. There was a photo of one near Bridgwater and video of another taken near Marlborough shown on
BBC Points West this evening.
That's interesting as I would have been facing towards Marlborough when this was taken and Marlborough would be about 17 miles from where I was located.
-
Having seen quite a few meself, this is 1000% definately a Funnel Cloud!
N1
Thanks for the feedback, I was sure I was looking at a funnel cloud too. Only the second time I have ever seen one and as Paul says it's a funnel then there's no way I'm going to argue with that opinion
-
Spotted this on the horizon on the drive home, unfortunately I only had a standard lens with me. At first glance this appears to be a funnel cloud. Pictures were taken from a slip road beside the A303 Hampshire Wiltshire border Cholderton / Parkhouse Cross looking towards Tidworth, taken this evening around 5.45pm.
I am aware of a fire at Wooton Bassett which would be about 30 miles away from where these were taken so I'm unsure if these pictures are a funnel cloud or smoke from that fire but the colour blends too well with the cloud base.
The images have been cropped but have not been edited in any other way and are in sequence 1 - 5. All thoughts appreciated.

For those that don't have NW extra radar or another Strikestar detector source, Guernsey is still online:
Thanks for the link Coast, I can see again!
-
Sad to see that the IOW live storm data has been taken off line by last night's server overload. Hope you guys get it sorted.
Woke this morning to long low rumbles and heavy rain, currently dark, grey and wet here but looks like clearing in the next couple of hours.
