Well done on your forecast by the way. Gfs could do with your help.Off topic but you woudnt know sat lottery nos .

lol I could try but if you loose your £1 it is your loss!

They don't seem to work that way you see any gain that is for myself. It could work I suppose just never really tried it for a long period of time

snowing now moderatly here, depth 2cm..... still not seen any fat flakes yet...

Still raining here Jed, could do with some heavier preticipation, seems to be loosing it's

intensity as it approaches me. Same as Yesterday really.

[Craigers]

I don't think we are gonna see any heavier snow as it seems to be fizzling out the closer it gets to us

Its been snowing here for a couple of hours now but its been that light we have barely accumulated 0.5cm's, pretty disappointing really

here in sprotbrough its 1cm and theres heavy stuff on the way for doncaster, http://www.meteo24.com/uk/index.php?q=radar have a look on there thank god doncaster is actualy going to have a proper covering !!!!!!

[swfc]

Still rain here, I give up.

You may be out of look dude loking at the calender forecast.The guy on calender did say you may get sleet when the rain becomes heavier.Good thing is theyl be know water shortage come summer.

I love hot weather too! be nice to a have BQ I think we are going to be in for some very freaky weather this year though TBH lot's of storms and freak tornados!

Robert

Hmmm...thats something I can do without! After the wind last month! It blew a panel out of the roof of my conservatory! I hate the wind

I'd love for you to say there was gonna be a heatwave from May to September though

True enough! I'm not too fussed really, at least I won't have to watch it wash away tomorrow.

Took me an hour and a half to do 1/2 mile on Dudley Southern by-pass at 4pm and a colleague who left work at 3 has still to reach his home just the other side of Brum at 7:45pm.

flakes keep chopping and changing between big and small there now small and starting to get big again wish it would make its mind up. but a least its snowin

[Paul]

Robert, I'm sure you mean well but seriously, please don't talk as if you know everything that the weather is going to bring over the coming x months, it really doesn't do your credibility any favours at all.

[Harsh Climate]

Its starting to get quite heavy, but nothing to get too excited about...

[Craigers]

getting thicker

[Harsh Climate]

All I want is the classic moment of very heavy snowfall comeing down, where your thinkin bloody ell this is heavy! If it can just stay like this for another 2 hours Il have another 4 inches....

[Deelightuk]

Robert, I'm sure you mean well but seriously, please don't talk as if you know everything that the weather is going to bring over the coming x months, it really doesn't do your credibility any favours at all.

Why not? Long range weather forcasters do it and are very rarely correct. If my memory serves me correct Robert has been pretty close with his methods, if he continues to do so I will probably have more faith in him than the "professional" weather forecasters. After all, they are getting paid to profess to know everything about the weather

I dont think he is doing too bad so far

[MKN]

getting warmer now in the south, www.xcweather.co.uk, i think everywhere apart from higher areas of wales will see rain at this rate. 850s continually on the rise aswell, still snowing here but for how long?...

[Bobby]

How does it look for the next band bringing snow to here? About 30 miles inland, 200m ASL. Looks much more marginal than recently, have a feeling it may be rainy. Going to be a nail biter.

[andy_leics22]

Robert, I'm sure you mean well but seriously, please don't talk as if you know everything that the weather is going to bring over the coming x months, it really doesn't do your credibility any favours at all.

But if what he predicts comes off then I dont think we can have any complaints.
