  1. Living for many years in downtown L.A. Littlehampton West Sussex

    I have always been fascinated by Channel lows.

    They would on many occasions be our 'one' day winters in the seventies.

    I know this is a specialist model discussion area, would anyone be interested in telling me the last recorded event, and prehaps steer me to a relevant ' department'.

    Have found the topics very interesting, and i am such a slow typer that i am hoping that a channel low will one day develop.

    Happy new year to you all

  2. Frome also had fair bit of hail to but not 20minutes though. Will it snow in Frome, Westbury,Trowbridge? Anyone know how high these areas are above sea level? Also, How high is Cley Hill and Longleat Heavens Gate?

    Thanks

    I filmed a decent funnel cloud over Longleat from Frome last year, sent it to Points West but nothing came of it as think it went in to late to them..

    HI

    CLEY HILL IS 240 METRES ABOVE SEA LEVEL

    HEAVENS GATE SLIGHTLY LESS +/- 220 METRES

  3. i stay optimistic, some wood blew into my garden, ready for my sledge build,

    Have to commute to Ditchling Beacon.

    Last time it snowed on the South Downs tops i shovelled some up and took it to a Brighton Chef who was doing a special 10 course menu 'commerative launch of the Titanic'. We built an end of pier iceberg.

    :wallbash:

    brilliant Kev, great reading. :p

    a channel low would not go amiss this year, but hey ho its only weather after all.

    thanks for the good read :doh:

  4. Here's something that southern snow lovers long for, a Channel low. On the 24th of January 1939, an Atlantic system tracked towards and up the English Channel. The system became slow moving around the eastern part of the Channel on the 25th and 26th, and this gave areas as much as 24hrs of rain/sleet and snow. It was largely rain and sleet towards the coast of southern/southeastern England but inland there were large accumulations of snow as much as two feet in places.

    Very interesting article

    Signed up today, have lived on the South Coast for many years.

    Remembered small vigorous Channel Lows in the 70's

    Live in the Worthing area

    No snow plenty of wood ;)
