    Would that not imply the warning was neccessary?

    More thunder here... looks like we might get a bit more before the end of the day!

    Haha... maybe it'll teach us some lessons... altho to be fair, each year we usually get some snow that grinds the country (especially us southerners) to a halt and we don't learn. If we used chemicals to 'de-ice' the road rather than salt as in Europe it would be a start, and its all very well clearning the main roads, but if you don't clear the side roads whats the point? - rant over, just want to get off the Moor but the car is well and trully stuck! hehe

    What a forecast for Thursday... News24 seemed to think that it would cover pretty much all of southern britain.
  5. Dartmoor_Matt
    Well, just walked up the hill to see what the rest of the village was like, and what a snow shower... with accompanying thunder, its been snowing pretty much all morning, albeit lightly, but this was something else, visibility dropped to nothing. Winds veering from NE to SW but still icy cold out. Currently brighter. oo and I see we have a moderate risk of a severe event on Thursday....

    Well, having attempted to get the car out, Ive given up... it spent most of its time sliding backwards, or at best going no where... and its snowing again

    Winds are already swinging to the SW and the temp here is just -0.4C, so it will gradually turn to rain at lower levels as the day moves on me thinks. That said, just saw a cracking forecast for down here on Thursday!

    Morning all Not alot more overnight, but still snow showers sweeping in, and from the look of the radar could be in line for quite a hefty one soon.
  9. Dartmoor_Matt
    Getting so close to here... just needs to swing a little more SW
  10. Dartmoor_Matt
    Not spirally much here either, infact from the meteox rainfall radar Devon appears to be clear, with ppn all around us... go figure.
  11. Dartmoor_Matt
    Still holding out hope for another good pasting for here by the morning... saw more snow than this in Venice over New Years... and you don't get much closer to sea level than that!
  12. Dartmoor_Matt
    But it was getting so cosy in here... hehe
  13. Dartmoor_Matt
    Just stuck my head out the door and its snowing again, not alot but steady and covering up the tracks from earlier, so who knows what the morning will bring! Only -4.9C now! hehe
  14. Dartmoor_Matt
    Thanks for the quick reply, heres hoping we all see some more snow then! Got the wind coming from the NW at the moment, so it might suggest something
  15. Dartmoor_Matt
    Hi mate, Any chance of this coming anywhere near Dartmoor? That'd be the East Dartmoor, rather than North.
  16. Dartmoor_Matt
    Heya Any chance of TQ13 being entered? Cheers! Oh and its -5.6C out there, so a little 'warmer'
  17. Dartmoor_Matt
    Gave up on the walk to the pub after slipping on the compacted snow 3 times ... that was while sober, god knows what it'd be like coming back... its reading -6.2C out there, which does seem a little OTT. How near is that snow! Just needs to edge a little further west and it'll top everything up nicely.

    I think most people describe the South West as Cornwall, Devon and parts of both Dorset and Somerset, but the MO bundle a whole load of other counties in to there as well, presumably so they can be as broad as possible with their forecasts 'if we have a big enough area, at least somewhere will see what we predict' type thing... or am I being cynical? :lol:
  19. Dartmoor_Matt
    As the low spins it picks up extra moisture from the channel, and bristol channel, they could be taking that into account and would fit with what RJS said in the other thread - I would be biased though as he specifically mentioned Dartmoor getting a pasting! hehe

    Heavy snow from approx 1pm led to 3cms in about an hour, since then frequent snow showers, turning very heavy again now. Snow stuck from the outset due to the max temp being -2.4C.
  21. Dartmoor_Matt
    The wind has dropped considerably, but just over the valley I can see the next band of snow moving in, and its just srarted lightly here again, so assuming it is now slow moving, it could lead to some nice accumulations! Should make the walk to the pub interesting in a bit!
  22. Dartmoor_Matt
    Winds now coming straight from the N, but very light, the snow has stopped again and the temp has fallen to -4.1C... lets hope that doesn't stall over Dorset!
  23. Dartmoor_Matt
    My cat was somewhat shocked when he went out in it earlier... but soon decided he was able to kill and eat whatever the white fluffy stuff was and proceeded to try... needless to say hes now back in and looking decidedly sorry for himself.
  24. Dartmoor_Matt
    Cheeky... don't know the meaning of the word! Know what you mean though, was out and about earlier and saw this coming in, much prefer to be stuck in with a beer and central heating than not! Always makes me smile tho when the country grinds to a halt... was up in Finland 2 years ago, and they drive on snow there like we drive in perfect conditions here... could just be taxi drivers tho.
  25. Dartmoor_Matt
    BIG flakes here now, and very very 'fuzzy' to the NE lol ... no melt from earlier so this could be interesting...
