    We have a weather warning people and it sounds good!

    https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings#?date=2018-02-28

    Between 00:05 Wed 28th and 23:55 Wed 28th

    Heavy snow showers are expected on Wednesday. There is the potential for travel delays on roads, with some stranded vehicles and passengers, as well as delays or cancellations to rail and air travel. Some rural communities could become cut off. Power cuts may also occur and other services, such as mobile phones, may be affected.

    Chief Forecaster's assessment

    Showers will bring a large variation in amounts of snow across even small areas with some places seeing very little snow. There is the potential for 10-15 cm of snow in places where showers become more frequent whilst nearby locations may see much less frequent showers and only small accumulations of 1-3 cm in places. Strong winds will lead to drifting of snow, and lightning could be an additional hazard, particularly near North Sea, Irish Sea and English Channel coasts. By the end of Wednesday, more than 20 cm may have accumulated in places in some eastern counties of England, Scotland and Norther Ireland from a culmination of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's snow showers.

    You have to think our luck will change at some point. The more chances we get the more likely we'll do well.

    I wouldn't be concerned about the BBC forecasts, they're generally poor when looking 2/3 days ahead on the specifics.

    The lunchtime BBC1 local forecast was pants! Hill snow and sleet tonight - no mention of wintriness to low levels, then rain over the weekend with much colder temperatures on Sunday. Again no mention of snow to low levels. I hope we aren't over-hyping it in here but surely there will be snow to low levels!? As you say, poor forecasts on the specifics!

    They just keep on coming however they are not amounting to much snow it has to be said. Least we have a chance but I’m beginning to take these warnings with a pinch of salt lately 

    Me too to be fair!
    Although we have seen a good bit of snow falling this Winter - not much has settled. Still time for that to change though!

    New weather warning out for Thursday evening in to Friday - snow showers following the front!

     

    Quote

    Rain, sleet and hill snow is expected to clear northwestern Scotland late on Thursday evening, and these clearer conditions will spread to all parts by early Friday morning. Ice is expected to form as skies clear. Heavy snow showers will follow, and these will be most frequent across Northern Ireland and western Scotland, where 2-5 cm may accumulate above 100 m with some snow to low levels too. Ice will be the main hazard across Northern England and Wales.

    That squall line that moved through there was absolutely fantastic. Heaviest snow by far all week! 

    I underestimated snow level from looking out. Haven't got a tape measure but I can't be far of the magic 1ft in some areas.
