[Snow/Wintry Precipitation Reports: 10th March 2004]

hi

not an actual snow report but what may occur, so pse keep this in this area moderators.

anyone who understands plotted weather charts, look at this

http://meteocentre.com/analyse/map.php?hou...g=en&map=Europe

it show a large area of snow over nearby europe. the upper winds are a bit far back(by which I mean a shade to much north in them rather than south), they are mainly ene'ly over the continent and southern uk, BUT it might mean that parts of e anglia and areas sw of that MIGHT get some of this during this afternoon.

happy snow hunting

hi

take heart its snowing here,

if it snows in doncaster it can snow anywhere!

temp now 0.0C with snow for past 40 mins after series of soft hail showers.

see the met office radar chart for 2200, front page of net-weather, so maybe still another 20-30mins, with ground just about covered.

hi

update to doncaster at 1625

to tws, toher side pennines. would agree there has been no cloud break since the front(t)'s went thro here, occasional rain with temp slowly drifting down to 2.7C by 1600. we then had a more significant burst of rain(see met radar at 1500(on front of net weather) which brought the temp down to 2.3C at which the rain turned to wet snow, lasted about 10 mins with temp now 1.5C and still a few wet flakes coming down. no sign of any cloud breaks yet. freezing level at 1200gmt from upper air station somewhere near the scottish border was abou 1,500 feet, with about 20knots(22-24mph) from the north west at 5,000feet. It showed thick cloud to about 7,000 feet with thinner layers above it.

if it snow in doncaster it can snow anywhere

hi

update on previous wx report; temp fell to 3.9C by 1300, still with slight rain, now down to 3.6C again with slight rain.

so a temp drop of 2.8C which should give those south of here some idea of the temp drop to expect.
