[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 14/01/13, 12z onwards]

Raw UKMO-GM Friday seems to keep the snow effectively through Cornwall-Devon-Dorset before sliding it away SE (as per EC in terms of latter). Still awaiting modified GM however, which will almost inevitably pick a more considered path based on Exeter's cross-model assessment. Will advise later.

Hi Ian

Could you say if this may hit the iow Friday?

Many Thanks

(desperado from snowless iow)

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 13/01/13 ---->]

Looks like that precipitation is weakening again....

It's bound to before it reaches us ugh!

Wots the best radar to look at? x

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 13/01/13 ---->]

Seeing countryfile weather.theres no reason why we can't see some snow activity nearly everyday.that bitter Easterly could bring some showers anytime for us on the coast

I'll hold u to that bruv!! Hope you're right! xx

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 13/01/13 ---->]

Can someone please explain how we've had all this rain for months on almost a daily basis and now it's about to get v cold all week it's gonna be dry? Where's all the blooming precipitation gone?? Thanks

Actually got a gud feeling we'll get a bit of snow later tonight!

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 13/01/13 ---->]

Oh nooo wots ya temp n dew point down there?

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 12th January 2013>]

BATTLEGROUND EVENT NUMBER ONE, if not possibly number two or three and you know what, there will be more over the coming days and weeks.

This cold spell has some serious potential, you mark my words.

But serious potential for who? Does that include iow? Prob not ugh!

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion - January 11th 2013>]

Ok im pretty sure after this run all of us sometime next week will see some snow how much will be another matter

Really hope you're right!!!

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion - January 11th 2013>]

Lashing down with rain here on Iow ugh if it stays like this next wk I'll be devastated!! Surely we'll get some snow! We had NOTHING last yr but the 2 yrs before had some substantial snowfall so it can happen here lol

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion - January 11th 2013>]

Sooooo can anyone say whether us on th iow will see any? They r saying widespread snow in th mod thread but I hav no idea if we're in with a shot or whether it's rain for us? I'll be seriously gutted if we miss out

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 9th January 2013>]

Any chance AT ALL of iow seeing some snow this weekend?!?

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 9th January 2013>]

Got to ask....will it snow on the iow? Lol

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 9th January 2013>]

I'm no good at reading charts can someone plz tell me if it will fall as rain or snow on th iow? Thanks

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 3rd January 2013>]

Looks like rain/sleet for iow looking at those charts! Fingers crossed we get at least a flurry or 2 tho!

[Winter Model Discussion 18Z 8/1/13. The hunt for cold (is closer).]

Sorry but I'm confused! Has the chance of cold/snow this weekend diminished? Or are u all looking at charts further ahead now? I will take time to learn to read the charts etc at some point I promise lol ps I'm from the iow where our chances of cold n snow are normally 0! And last nihht things looked promising for us- Thanks n sorry if in wrong thread but ill only post once and you're all so knowledgable!

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion]

Hey guys

I'm really hoping for some snow this month it just makes Xmas more special!

No idea whether we've got a genuine chance here on the iow as it tends to hit everywhere but us

Fingers crossed tho!!

[South Central England Regional Discussion Thread Part 4]

Well after waking up this morning, im really disappointed . All the snow pretty much gone, which i assumeis because of the sleet / rain?no snow on pavements or road.

Think i have given up on winter now as this is the second time we had rain

yeah same here - bitterly disappointed!!!

it was snowing nicely around 11 last night then all wet this morn? I admit defeat this winter it just aint gonna happen for us here

[South Central England Regional Discussion Thread Part 4]

bit heavier now!! hope this keeps up for couple more hours

[South Central England Regional Discussion Thread Part 4]

[South Central England Regional Discussion Thread Part 4]

Its snowing in Freshwater and -1c, my Mrs has just driven over the downs from Yaverland to here and it snowed heavily enough for fast windscreen wipers by the Hare and Hounds, you must be South of the Downs I am guessing.

[South Central England Regional Discussion Thread Part 4]
