At last, after weeks of waiting I have 1cm snow, fantastic, am really concerned though as temp is gradually rising 0.8 and dew point of -1.2 is there any colder air on the way? as I would be devastated if it rains and washes it all away before kids get up. Am going to find it very hard to go to sleep with the chance of more snow, I unfortunately appear to be addicted to the radar.

I've decided the MO thread is a waste of time at the moment.
Infact I'm getting pretty fed up with this site and its massive SE leaning, heres hoping something comes along for us in the near future, til then I think I'll take a break!
Don't stop posting on this thread though, I value your input and it could let me know if it is worth a trip up to the moors, you never know!!!

A streamer has developed
may get a cm.
That would be great, am going to have to have a large glass of wine (or two) to see me through the next few hours!!
-
I am just starting to get slightly excited by the radar I wonder if those showers will die out before they reach me, they do look like they are pepping up but am so worried they will disappear before they get here, would be happy with just 5 mins of snow, better than nothing. How sad am I?
-
Well i have seen four different forecasts tonight, Just shows that when we get cold weather it seems to flummox the forecasters
Did any of them mention the chance of any snow for us?
-
I have been watching horse racing on sky 415, wouldn't mind being in Punchestown right now, interestingly it isn't showing on radar odd!!
-
Hi Have been praying for snow and watching each model run for weeks now, even if I have to drive to Dartmoor to see it. Every day the snow is always a few days away and then gets downgraded, will we ever see it here?
However I do feel that this is the closest we have been to even having a slight risk of any of the elusive white stuff to fall from the sky. It has been tropical here since boxing day even reaching 11.2.
Today does however feel different temp has been dropping since 6am and dew point also falling. Who knows if it keeps dropping my kids might finally believe in the snow fairy!!
-
good question. If you take the mid point between the dewpoint and the actual temperature (eg. dewpoint -2, temperature +2 - mid point = 0c) then as long as this midpoint temp is below freezing (edit: or at freezing), your odds on for snow.
The temperature drops as the water evaporates in the dryer air (to evaporate water, it takes heat and energy from the atmosphere to do this)- the dewpoint rises because the air is taking up moisture,and they'll roughly meet in the middle. or something like that!

Thankyou, that's explained it very well my mid point is currently 1c but temp is rapidly dropping, fingers crossed.
-
I'll let ya know if we get any here... certainly cold enough at the moment (and only going to get colder as the darkness comes in)
You don't want the DP above freezing for snow and the temp should be 2c or lower... although you can get snow from higher temps.
Thanks, Dew point is -1 and temp is dropping every 5 seconds so I won't give up all hope lol!!!
-
What temperature would be considered as too mild for snow?
-
There does appear to be a few small showers that have appeared on radar in the last 1/2 hour. Just 5 minutes of snow would be better than nne at all
-
Just had lightning and thunder here in SW Devon
-
ITS SNOWING YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Just off to work in local primary school, am really hopeful it may shut. I can dream!!! At least it is finally snowing not laying though.
-
If you check the meteox radar on the future 3 hour loop it seems to show the precip splitting in half with one going north and one going back south, why would this be anyone?
-
Has now gone very still here and temp has dropped to 2.2, dewpoint 2.0 and for the first time today the pressure is dropping. Does anyone think there is any possibility of it snowing here tonight or is that it now? (not that I have had any snow yet lol)
-
I am sure it will be clear by tommorrow, I am not too far away and we have not had a single flake. Hope you enjoy your holiday in tropical Torquay. Might be worth popping up to the moors over the weekend, I think they have tons of the stuff.
-
Bristle Boy, unfortunately it is Haldon Hill, the very same hill that is currently blocked.
-
I simply cannot believe that 3 miles north, west and east to me have received snow and we have not had a single flake How can this be??? I must have done something really bad in a previous life to deserve this.
-
Got v heavy rain and thunder here but sadly no snow
-
do you have anything there...snow/rain/sleet
[/quot It is now unfortunately raining, I guess that is it then. :lol: :lol:
:lol: -
where a bouts are you.
Net Radar is saying south Devon sleet and snow and Cornwall
I am near Totnes, What would be the highest temp & dew point that it could actually snow be?
-
Cannot quite believe it but David Braine predicted snow for us tonight on his forecast, he actually mentioned snow in the SOUTH HAMS which is where I live, with temps at 4.0 and dewpoint currently at 3.4 I find this hard to imagine. However right now there is nothing I would like more than some lovely snow, would be so great for the snow deprived kids. Am checking temps every 1/2 hour and they are slowly dropping, can they drop quick enough??? PLEASE PLEASE SNOW!!!
-
Does anyone think there might be an outside chance of S. Devon getting any snow here tonight. I have been watching radar and that huge mass would appear to be coming our way. As usual I suppose our temperature will be too high. It is currently 4.6. I am assuming that this is far too high for any precip to be snow. I will continue to dream!!
-
whereabouts in south devon are you?
Near Totnes

Hi, just on the South Devon coast temp 0.1 dew point -6 The radar shows blobs heading our way, currently dandruffy stuff blowing around, hoping we get some more snow tonight/tomorrow. Popped to Sainsbury's earlier and it was one in and one out, My mum went to Morrisons and they were out of bread, milk and eggs, am hoping the general public know something that I don't !!!!!!!!!!!!!
