Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part 12

Snow falling very heavy here (Mickleover) with thick flakes. Definitely sticking - i'd say about 2cm but building up quickly.

Went to Cannock Chase this afternoon - some very heavy snow there - i reckon about 10cm away from the roads but the roads were getting a bit dicey too. Not sure how it is there now!

heavy in allestree and settling everywhere ,great after the afternoon sleet we got

And you waste your money on a rader that can't show the right PPN. I'm sorry but all you are doing is funding NW cash when there is no need.

I'm glad i'm not buying that rader prefer to look at a free rader supplied by the METO - may not be accurate or the best but i won't be wasting my money at the same time.

Exactly, I tried it last year and thought it had improved so bought for another year.. obviously not. It really is poor.

[Costa Del Fal]

still nowing here and temperature dropping so a good sign that it will stay as snow!

The only dissapointment at the moment is, I still havent seen any big fat flakes this winter! Todays flakes have all been small too....

Can anyone report some big fat flakes falling now? the ones that are the size of small tea plates and cover everything emediatly...

Right so everywhere it's been wet it's now sticking..correct?

[Thundersquall]

Thundersquall you've probably noticed it but there's a little streamer coming right over bristol soon, with a bit of luck it will go straight over us both giving us a couple of hours of snow. *Fingers Crossed*

I had noticed this, but it's producing moderate to heavy rain although it is very cold. No snow but an interesting feature.

Its only like £3.50 a month !!!

Looks like its starting to die out on the radar, just as it looked like the heavy stuff was heading our way.

Yes it is here, been sleety snow all day then in the last half hour BANG snow with big flakes and settling even on the road which had puddles on, gunna stop soon according to the radar though so no doubt will soon melt again

[ickledoozer]

raining now in Milton Keynes, looks like that is it for us, current temperature of around 2 degrees! my poor snow man (peter snow) is slowy melting

[Geordiesnow]

Look at how much that band weakens when its tries to push northwards over a line of Manchester and South Yorkshire. Though the green still produce some good size flakes i still can't believe it weakened that much.

Strange light pollution effect here in the west of Swansea as the street lights seems to be reflecting off the snow and giving the clouds an orangy colour.

This year just like 1999, the 8th Feb was a disappointment but the 9th produced some snow, today we had the best snowfall in my location since 1991 (can't verify that with any data though, just my opinion)

Getting that over here in kiddy too, even though the snow has stopped for now.

Just spoken to my mate in Swansea, it has taken him nearly 5 hours to go 6 miles.

Yer finaly it is starting to stick. my sisters freind is coming round later (9pm)so there may be enough for a good snowball fight

Still yellow heading in our general direction.

that is a bit harsh if I may so

[lincolnsnow07]

im actually getting excited now. dew point down to 0c.

[Costa Del Fal]

Light pollution here too in Kidderminster!

[Thundersquall]

There have been an unbelievable 114 posts in 52 minutes - is this a N-W record?

[James M]

Well the temp is dropping slowly here still down to 0.5C but the humidity is rising which means the dewpoint is rising goddammit.

[Polar Low]

that is a bit harsh if I may so

You think so?

Ok.. it's cheap, but it's still inaccurate. 5 hours of rain showing as snow throughout on the precipitype radar?

[TEITS]

I don't wish to burst your bubble but here in Peterborough we have only had rain/sleet with a temp of 2C. Last time I checked Lincoln is 3C so be prepared to only see sleet/rain and just hope the heavier precip which missed me reaches you.

The precip type radar works by what the GFS charts show though, according to the GFS it would be snow over you but it turned out to be sleety stuff instead, if the radar was actually done by using reports of what was falling around the UK then it would be more accurate.

it's 2c now. i'm not that confident but more confident than I was earlier.

[HellyHanson]
