Me too, can't even move car here! The most recent forecast I saw on BBC showed the remainder of Sunday & it looks like there could well be a spell of more moderate snow during the day, so could give another 2-5cm...
I hope so wednesday was fun especially when college has been closed for 3 days, Fingers crossed

Hi Everyone we have had some amazing snow, most ive ever seen to be honest, theres 3 and a half inches here with some patches deeper about 5 and some not as much, about 2 inches, I am in Sandown and me and my mates have had big snowball fights and made 2 men and then killed them lol.
Hopefully college will be called off tomorrow as i dont think the buses will be running.
-
Snowing here and is going powdery too
-
I think the rain/sleet will turn to snow, but this wont happen until the winds start to come from the land which will be anywhere from the northern quadrant, (WNW to ENE) and once that happens, we will all see the snow although Portsmouth and other places on the other side of the water will probably see it a few hours before here.
The only problem with that is how much precipitation will be left before it clears? Hopefully quite a bit, but this winter has been a funny one for snow, so im not holding out too much hope!
Hi Jamie, i think at the moment that is a case, if cold enough then maybe but yeh direction of wind and the warmth of sea worries me a bit.

Ive witnessed 3 of them, Saw one last february huge bolt of lightning with loud thunder and very heavy snow.
March 2007 there was one and there was alot of thunder and lightning for about an hour with heavy snow that lasted most of the evening giving a decent covering.
There was on in 2004 aswell with more heavy snow.

Didnt know where to put this
We just had one of the heaviest Hailstorms i have ever seen, everything has on completely white out with Hail, Absolute amazing to watch and some was size of marbles. Amazing Anvils now at the back of it now.
-
Just in the car on my way back from bowls, and saw 2 flashes of lightning out too sea was quite suprised
-
There not great to be honest. That short wave spoils things. Best hope for something like the UKMO. Encouraging thoughts from GP though
It starts updating around 18:00 and finishes at 19:00
ok thanks
im not the best ar understanding models i will learn.
Im going to be waiting tonights runs
-
GFS essembles arn't great. One or two are ok after T300 but thats about it. Best one i found after scanning through was P19
Other than that not a great GFS/GEFS tonight
UKMO looks good however the T144 charts from the UKMO are not the best in the world. Not to be dismissed though !!
I wonder what the ECM is going to come out with
They dont seem to bad at all really, Im too waiting for the ECM.
what time does the ECM update?
-
1st Dec winter starts
Ahhh thankyou
-
Ssorry if this is a silly question what date does winter officially start, is just December the 1st or is it further on in December?
Anyway heres hoping for colder winter with some snow
-
Thanks pete will get involved
ive actually been into the weather since age of like 5/6 lol.
Thankyou for the help people much appreciated
-
Thankyou
also thankyou for showing that chart, because now i know what they look like on the charts.
Im not very good with understanding charts but still enjoy looking at the model output because its helping me learn.

Hi- I was just wondering what a Barlett High is?
when i look in the Model output discussion and sometimes people are saying about a Barlett high being bad in winter or something like that.
I was just why is it not good in winter and what it is? Also just wondering what weather it brings?
Sorry if there's already been a topic on this.
Because of my age im still learning very quickly and am wanting to be a Meteorologist so much when i am older, there are so many things i dont understand and feel that Net Weather will help me alot
Thankyou Ryan

Just as i thought thr roads by the river have now started to flood according to a few people.
We have taken a right pounding by showers and heavy rain (torrential mostly) over the past week and last night and this morning the showers have extremely heavy, along with hail and very very strong winds. Though i didnt see or hear any thunder and lightning last night, from the looks of it i can see alot more showers coming and looks heavy too.
-
Just had heavy hail showers
and apparently theres been some lightning according to my friend
-
Some of those prep returns on the Isle of Wight / Hampshire area look a little scary...(possible intensification). Flash flooding perhaps anyone? Not long before the rain starts here...finger coming up the Channel.
I know our roads are like a river at the moment, got constant heavy rain.
Havent seen anymore lightning at the moment but hopefully will see some.
-
yup have jsut seen some lightning, didnt see which way was jsut a flash
-
Yep, certainly you have been in the firing line!
Some bright echoes coming onshore between Portsmouth and Beachy Head, any lightning in these?
Interesting seeing the houses struck by lightning last night in Sussex on the news. Been the thunderiest November for a while, and certainly interesting weatherwise what with tornadoes in Hants and Essex and not forgetting the flooding aswell, though snow as yet been elusive - the convective days have made up for that for me.
Not really too shore to be honest, just got back from bowls, Though i will keep my eye on it.
Im quite interesting in that band of rain coming towards us, do you know if theres any electrical activity in that?
Edit: Started raining again and getting heavy.
Its now hailing and roads are liek a river
-
Think heavy showers currently near IoW and longer spells of rain behind to the SW will move inland across Sussex and Kent tonight, maybe with the odd flash and rumble of thunder. Looking at the radar returns near IoW, could be some flash flooding in places.
We have been getting battered by showers over the pass couple of days, along with quite alot of hail aswell, We had quite a bit of lightning around 5-7, but havent seen any as yet for now.
Looks like were in for another showery day tomorrow. Am getting quite worried about our river level as there has been so much rain and showers, veyr heavy ones too.
-
Been getting some frequent lightning here too, 2 to the west of me and loads out to sea and some close.
Heard a few rumbles too.
-
Just keep getting battered by showers here and another one about to hit.
those storms out by kent last night sounds amazing and i have to admit i saw 2 flashes out to sea last night around that time, this was to the East.
Before that it absolute belted down with rain and hail, almost as heavy as the squall the night before.

Had a cracking storm here yesterday at about 11:00am, was at bowls and after about an hour here huge rumble and everyone was like is that thunder, About a minute later i was just about to look outside and there was a huge flash and loud rumble of thunder. Another minute after that it started to rain very very heavy and then the hail started and it was horizontal then a huge bolt of lightning to my west not far away and another loud rumble of thunder. Went back inside for only a matter of 2 minutes because the hail made everyone look outside as it was that heavy and right above an enormus flash of lightning and an instant explosion of thunder, We all shut the door after that as it was dangerous.
Also another feature was the Wind it was very very powerful must of been getting to 80mph, I went back out side about 5 minutes later because it had calmed down though thunder was still going off pretty loud. My mate joined me out in the car park to see it and we saw about another 4 flashes and 4 rumbles.
After that we went back inside and carried on with our bowls and that was most exciting event ive seen since february snow it was very fun and awsome to watch.
-
What you're describing would be a squall and wouldn't be surprised if gusts were into the 70s, perhaps touching 80mph. Coupled with the hail and lightning, does indeed sound like you have been under the squall line, which is quite defined on Radar.
Yes i think it was a squal a severe one i think and it all came at once which was very exciting, wind was very very strong also what made it more exciting on the way back from bowls was driving along seafront with wave crashing like mad

I think they should after watching bbc south today they had snow over the whole of southern and SE England on sunday, so hopefully they will.
Though Met office do have a habit of taking the IOW warning off sometimes.
