V for Very Cold

thanks for the pics Storm - looks great up on the tops - haven;t been able to see them from down here most of the day, i just cleared for the last hour and could see the moors looking stunning - bet you are having a great time up there

all gone quiet here and the temp's dropping again - what odds for more snow tonight :?

all gone quiet here for the last couple of hours and seems to be on a slow melt. Main roads are clear now, only side roads and car parks with snow. Fingers crossed for a top up soon

well it's been snowing more or less constantly for 4 hours - about 3" now settled and no sign of abating - think I will be watching the forecasts very cloesely over the next few weeks

And a very good morning and happy new year everyone fraid I took my eye off the ball with finishing off the last of the turkey, eating the cold srout and finishing the remains of the egg nog Seriously - woke to find 2" of snow and very steady accumulation. Very heavy snow at the moment - lovely big flakes and a forecast for yet more more more over then next few days at this rate, the ramp thread will wither and die !"!

well it's 2oC, steady rain without even a hint of sleet. The rain has melted whatever lying snow there was and you really can;t imagine it getting any colder - it seems strange that the MetO issues flash warnings just as the weather gets milder

nothing here , on a slow melt with leaden skies and not even prospect of the white stuff Snowmad is getting back to the LRF models then

really now that would be more than a pleasant surprise :lol:

think you're right CS, and I really can;t call this one - Wednesday is predicted to be torrentail - but it's still barely above freezing here - woul;d have though and significant drop and we could be looking at some more major snowfall, no temp drop and there could be flooding somewhere. The next 12 hours should give us a better indication

what's welsh for ramp?

hmmmmmmmmmm looking through the charts and metO and BBc forecasts, it appears that we are on a bit of a knifeedge, though I have to say I'm intruged by NW's forecast of 7cm of rain on Wednesday with no chance of any snow :-S - I can only dream of 7cm of rain falling as snow

ahhhhh, well fingers crossed the pennines repeat the trick they've managed so far this month and ward off the rain..........................

2.1 o please

good lord !!! I try and sleep off 3 turkeys, 43 mince pies and a gallon of port to find i) the roads are like skating rinks and ii) tomorrow I'm either getting a flood or about a foot of snow - erm - clarification anyone ? (and I meant about the weather, not my diet tyvm)

right - is it time to raid the midlands boards to find what's going on :? lololol.

ahhhh might as well post in this one whilst we're all waiting lol- sipping my wine and crossing my fingers

think the chances of rain here are bloody low- temps now -3oC and bitter, if the white stuff falls could be a reasonable amount

bloody hell - it's like christmas eve waiting for this..... ooopps 1 day out lol

cross your fingers, think this is going to be a good one think we'll need yet another new thread soon lol

I'd happily take another 3" of snow lol

right- the beeb forecast heacy snow, meto have warnings from 6pm-3am, netweather a dusting thoughts/guesses at what's going to happen tonight?

and it's started snowing again

can I thank everyone for putting effort into explaining what SWEs are and how they effect us - it's an area I know little about, and I'm afraid I just tend to watch this trhead, but the help given to dunderheads like me is very welcome

I do quick like the fact we have a flash warning that there might be some icy roads tomorrow, following a faily good avoidance of manetioning snow for the last cpl of days lol Seriously - anyone got any news of any more snow - the flash runs til 6pm - what then?

Well I've just got back from a run to Fleetwood - and found an extra 3" of snow here - and I missed it any more still on it's way? or am I really asking faaar too much now lol
