South West Of England Regional Discussion Thread
Bristawl Si replied to Jane Louise's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Still snowing here but fairly light - some surfaces starting to thaw v slowly - guess temp rising slowly and dew points up i would think. Covering of snow but nothing to write home about. I suspect we're on the edge here for next few hours - turning to rain/sleet soon maybe?- 615 replies

Fair do's. Watching the horse racing at the mo and up at Wolves it's absolutely belting it down with snow - shame it can't get here. Moderate snow here at the mo - nice covering for now.- 615 replies

Is it? I thought the raintoday radar is on a 15-minute 'almost live' loop. I think by now if it was going to stall this far west we'd have known - eastern counties and home counties going to get heavy snow tonite i reckon.- 615 replies

Looking on raintoday looks like a warm sector with rain is poised in the BTL channel - maybe an hour or so away? Hopefully our time will come during the week - seems to be a lot of confidence from some of the main 'players' on NW of an interesting period coming up.- 615 replies

Further West - Ian F just tweeted that just east of Bath into Wilts will get a decent dumping as well - means we in Bristol will miss out! -

Cheers. I believe next week's not looking great either - oh well, roll on Spring - for all this splitting of the PV, Strat warming, etc, etc it's not really delivering the goods here is it? Worst winter in years for snow here- ranks alongside the 90s and early noughties - simples! Couple with that the fact that the below zero temps have screwed my Saturday horse racing! :lol: Edit: BBC weather just now shows snow for BTL for one hour - whoopy doo! another larry let-down!- 615 replies

I bet i know them. Sounds like 30/31 Dec 1978 or mid-Feb '78. the Dec one someone smashed into a fence on that hill, off a sledge - ambulance came, badly injured. Winter of 78/79 was my best winter - numerous blizzards - proper blizzards.- 615 replies

Indicates slight West movement and/or stalling nearer to far East of our region? -

Ian Fergusson's latest tweet (few mins old) says new UKMO forecasts more for Wilts and Glos than previous run - indicates slight West movement and stalling further West maybe? Not good enough for me but an interesting late development - blocking stronger? -

This is different though. We basically have a front south to north in a straight line coming in - there's no angle or slider movement, so that's one reason it's slightly easier to predict. If you go back 48 hrs the exact position of snow was up in the air but it was showing the same 'sweet spots' as tonite's forecast for Sat eve/Sun morn. It's actually been pretty rock solid this last 48hrs.
