SnowStorm(Jamie)

Not a hurricane but from what i see on the charts there will be quite strong winds, nothing severe. Gusts 40-50mph seem reachable in Western Britain and of course Ireland.

Not a bad day here just cloudy and cool. Current Temperature: 16.9C- Falling Dew Point: 11.0C Pressure: 1011 mb Rain total so far: 0mm

Cloudy at the moment, had a few light showers earlier though. Outdoor Temperature: 15.7C Dew Point: 12.9C Rain total so far: 1mm Rain Total for yesturday (Firday 5th) : 17.6mm

It sure is poor weather..got soaked Friday morning in only a few mins B) I also have a feeling there will be more reports of floods in the morning with that rain band still around. Current Outdoor Temp : 12.6C- falling slowly

Please chat about the weather and post your conditions here.

They are impressive pictures, good job!

Id say the Met Office have done a good job issuing the advisorys and flash warnings asepcially for parts of Wales where there has been Flooding. There could be 15-25mm extra in this area, that wouldnt suprise me.

Heavy shower just passed over and i can see some small breaks in the cloud. Current Outdoor Tempearture: 15.5C/59.9F Dew Point: 14.9 - Falling Pressure: 988.0 hPa - Steady Rain total so far: 15.6mm

You took some great pictures there, 5th pic down is my favourtire

Great pics there! Thats just perfect, 30C one week then cold and snowy the next. We struggle to get 3 Inches of snow in winter..its more like 3 inches of rain here

I have no idea how they could have used the term "Mini Tornado" for the devistation caused. Houses torn apart, cars tossed around and 3 lives lost, i see nothing at all "Mini" about that whatsoever.

That is amazing. Seems great warm temperatures 1 day and then snowing the next! I wouldnt mind that Jamie

I think it will be simular to recent Winters Mild with Occasional Cold Snaps :lol:

Also i have just read there has been Historic floods in Iowa, not suprised after all them severe storms. You can read more on it from Wunderground Very interesting. Also sad about the tornado that killed 4 boys and injured many more in Western Iowa to. Jamie

Glencoe Ski area looks good still got a fair bit of snow left. I wonder if the highest Scotish Mountains will keep the snow patches providing that there is not any Heatwave. I dont think there is any snow patches in Wales, not even on Snowdon Jamie

Looks like there will be nothing much around Wales either apart from a few snow showers here and there. Giving drizzle for my area Oh well Jamie

I agree there is more of a potential for us than the easter cold snap, we just have to wait and see i think. Jamie

Just watched the BBC Wales weather, there was an area of wintryshowers all over South Wales and he said expect a covering almost anywhere. Not the best thing to say as its still to far to tell exactly where any snow will occur. I have seen it all before, not worth expecting anything but i hope to see a flurry or two. Jamie

The MetOffice have put all of Wales under there weather warning for Sunday. For Monday the main Welsh areas that appear to be at risk are: Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey and Pembrokeshire Here is one of the Preciptation charts for Sunday: As you can see here the Preciptation type is snow but anything heavy seems to be restricted to eastern Britain. Of course all this is subject to change and no doubt it will, just have to keep an watching Jamie

I hope you all enjoy the snow! Not looking so good for the majority of Wales unless you have an elevation advantage on Sunday. And of course the MetOffice have a early Weather Warning out Here for parts of the country Temperatures for Saturday morning: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn2417.png Jamie

Great post Mr Data! Very interesting to read, i was born on the winter of 1991 (Feb 27th) so i kinda missed out on all the action. :lol: Thanks for the awesome pictures to guys! If only we could have a good winter like that again. Jamie

Heres a nice piece of media: Daily Express "BRITAIN was last night warned to prepare for Easter chaos as an Arctic blast threatened heavy snow." "Snowfalls are likely to blanket many areas of the country" Im almost certain it wont be as bad as they make out haha. Its nice to read though if only it were true :o Jamie
