Ah ok thanks for that, you can't quite see that far East on some radars

Sorry if this is a stupid question but where is all this snow thats ment to hit on the radar? because there doesnt look that much coming into the East the moment unless its ment to form out of no where later?? Because one band to the south is moving past the SE out in the channel towards France and the other to the north of that looks like its heading North not south?

at last, ive finally managed to get back to the forum after netweather and the forum have been down!! One small cloud went overhead about 50mins ago and a few proper flakes fell from it! which is good news but not a lot on the radar now so not sure if East Dorset will get anymore unless it arrives out of nowhere later?? Temp dropping aswell

No im not 15 anymore. I was years ago hence i want to get rid of it!

ITV Weather reckon snow for us here in Dorset tonight with temps of -2c and then snow shower tomorrow morning. Believe it when i see it as they got it wrong the other night! P.S Does anyone know how i can edit my netweather name 'Snowman15' so i can delete the 15 bit??

True, I will give it one more "tomorrow" chance and will wait and see what happens! - Cloud starting to move in at a fast speed from NNE direction i think. Cant say ive ever watched a lord of the rings film actually lol!

Was just going to post a similar thing befor i read yours. It's always been "Tomorrow" but come that tomorrow and it doesnt happen then its ment to come "tomorrow" again . a "Today" would be nicer to hear

Surely East Dorset will get effected then if all the counties north and east of us are!?? :wacko: NEtweather gives Bournemouth a 80% Chance of snow at 3pm today and 92% Chance at 6pm today. Not sure how reliable the local forecasts are on here?

Latest Netweather Article on the homepage mentions Central Southern England 'Through the day, a more persistent band of sleet and snow will push into southeast England, East Anglia and eventually even central southern England later, and is unlikely to move away until late in the day Friday, which could mean some quite difficult travelling conditions in these regions where the snow settles and accumulates. ' Lets hope so

Latest Metcheck Article: We have been talking about it for much of the week, and today marks the arrival of that north-easterly wind which is going to bring bitterly cold conditions, and snow to southeast Britain in particular. Already this morning a number of heavy showers are running into eastern Britain as those winds freshen up, and as we go through the day they will turn increasingly wintry with hail, sleet and snow. This is something we are monitoring closely because there is a high risk of significant snowfall developing across parts of East Anglia and southeast England tonight, along with strong to near gale force winds which would give blizzard like conditions in places - please see our Severe Weather Warning for more information. If you are in central or western areas, you will probably be wondering what the fuss is about with a mainly dry day in the offering, although it will be cold and breezy. There will be some sunny spells around with only a few coastal showers. It will remain mostly dry and clear tonight in western parts, with a widespread frost developing. Concern will be focused on central, eastern and south-eastern England where heavy snow is expected at times as the very cold air comes across a still rather warm North Sea meaning intense convection is likely. This means part of the east and southeast will see local blizzards, possible thunder, significant accumulations and drifting of snow resulting in possible disruption for Friday. I hope East Dorset gets something (Oh and thats a sarcastic laugh not a excited laugh!) Currently clear skies here and looks freezing out!

Thats why ive moved from the southern central thread to the south west thread because theres not many speaking at all in the southern central Still raining But temp still below 2c. Got a friend whos said its been snowing in Farnham for the last couple of hours now but not settling i dont think! - This rain is starting to get on my nerves now especially as the temps are cold! it might aswell just be warm!

It did get sleety a bit here this afternoon. But as i was near Poole Quay area it was more rain and turned more sleety as i drove more inland. Temp got to 1c here today!. Notably chillyer compared to recent days. Not really a lot happening now.

Im with Iceberg on this one. You obviously are a very new member on here who has come on here with the intention of winding people up. You've done nothing but moan, be a misery and constant false hopes!. You are probably just live in a depressing area thats not forecast snow and are jelous of those who are!. Anyway, they rain may finally be turning to sleet now! be interesting to see what all this Precip coming down from the North brings!.

Clouding over here now and 1c.

ITV Weather around dinner time tonight said that precip moving down from the north will turn to snow as it moves south giving a dusting in the south tomorrow afternoon/evening and they also put out a warning of heavier snow for Friday. Lets hope they are correct!

Lol. Where do you come from, the arctic? I think temps of 2c or below are a cold spell to most people. And in feb 2009 i would call that a cold spell with 5 consecutive days of heavy and very heavy snow! - Well it may not have been where you are located but here in Dorset it certainly was!. B)

Bit off topic but where do you ski? Ive been to Tignes in the French Alps twice and your guaranteed snow there!. Was well over a meter deep both times even at low levels <_< http://www.tignes.co.uk/webcam.htm On topic. Still a few flakes falling here despite hardly any precip showing on the radar now.

Definately not rain out there now. The sleet is starting to get heavier now! Be good to see some proper decent size flakes though over the next few days! Metcheck have got Dorset down for heavy sleet on Monday and then Heavy Snow on Tuesday?? But unfortunately Metcheck have been useless at forecasting sleet and snow over the past few years!!

I can back this up, Im also in East Dorset and its sleeting/light snow

ITV Forecast 1minute ago said we are to get a dusting of snow tomorrow afternoon/evening then got a snow warning for Friday 'where that snow gets that bit thicker' in the words of simon on ITV1!. I may have misheard but before he did the forecast he mentioned a few inches

Unless any precip forms out of nowhere later then i'd say thats all the precip we're going to get for today/tonight!. Although some forecasts are saying precip all the way through until the early hours tonight

Not sure though as the precip currently over us is just about to end and head into the channel looking at the Metoffice radar and theres no more precip to follow!. Will just have to wait and watch

Looks like the precip is going to end soon though on the radar? or is more ment to form? If you visit the south west discussion a member has posted a snow risk chance for Thursday night and Dorset, Hampshire etc are in the 75%-85% chance of snow Thursday night! Lets hope it happens :o ! Just said on the radio of reports of it snowing in Winchester. I must admit, the rain is turning into sleet here in East Dorset!

Looking good Good to see Dorset in the 75%-85% chance of snow

I think Dorset is now buggered! - Latest temps on Windguru which is also a very good website are now forecast to be 8c or 9c next week Sunday, Monday, Tuesday onwards with the only cooler days this Friday and Saturday. Other than that i guess we'll have to wait and see what January and Febuary 2010 bring :winky:
