That's what i was looking at.......it looks as though (as you say) swinging round heading right for us...............fingers crossed eh !!!!

I hope your right.......................we just had an hour of wet snow but it didn't really settle....

looking at the radar the main band seems to be further south away from Wales....Am i reading this right or not ????

Just taken this from the South West thread.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/weather/ianfergusson/ sounds promising.......

Are we likely to see any tonight do you think ?

yeah, just noticed that too....I don't know how reliable rain today radar is either.....

Looking heavy aswell by the radars being posted

Yes that's it.........

Reports on South WEst thread of Snow....Anybody know if any of this is likely to head our way ???

lol

New Warnings on the MO website ----> Heavy Snow1200 Tue 120600 Wed 13There is a high risk of a severe weather event affecting parts of southwest England and South Wales. A band of heavy snow will move slowly northeast during Tuesday afternoon and the first part of Wednesday before dying out. Accumulations of 5 to 10cm are expected widely, with 10 to 20cm possible locally, and a low risk of up to 30cm over higher ground. The strengthening southeasterly wind is also likely to lead to drifting of snow. This could cause disruption to travel networks and lead to problems with power lines. Issued at: 1358 Sun 10 Jan Trouble is - Don't know whether to believe this now.........................

Cheers for the explanation...... As i put in a previous note, really nowcasting is the most accurate as things change so quickly as this has proved.......

Thanks for that

Can anyone advise as to what has been the main significant change for the forecastsers to now change their minds on this ???

The best way to look at it, is how quickly things can change.........who knows it may change again ??? Here's hoping
