Snow/Wintry Precipitation Reports: 01st - 08th February 2004

[dodge]

The 11pm radar had red colours in it, denoting maybe thundershowers and probably heavy snow? You should be getting this now, unless it's fragmented very quickly.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Either it's fragmented just before it got here (DOH!) or it has stalled somewhere just to my north. The sleet beefed up at times but nothing particularly heavy.

[Tim B]

The red colors in the radar is most likley hail.

Watch out for lightning coming you're way.

The weather's got a mind of it's own tonight !

Something wierd happened over night. As I said in an a post last night we had about 5" of snow and it was still snowing when I went to bed about 11.30. I got up and had a look out the window about 4.30 this morning and it had all but gone, there was still a bit of slush around but next to no snow, so tucked myself back in bed, then when I got up about 8am there was another 2" of fresh snow on top of what was now frozen slush.

We must have had a slight warm spell during the night with rain, before it turned cold again..

Very bizarre

[Methuselah]

Same here mate! :x

Did you have that blizzard yesterday evening? It was quite something wasn't it? :shock:

I was half expecting to see deep drifts this morning. What a shame, eh? :cry: :cry:

[thejailender]

PT - I was travelling up from Kirkcauldy last night and from Dalwhinnie onwards got no faster than about 30 mph, the snow drifts were closing in on the A9 - I wouldn't be surprised if it was closed overnight. But we came through that blizzard you mentioned. My wife was stayed home yesterday and she said from about 5pm-8Pm they had the blizzard, which dumped about 5" of snow...

Nioce and clear now though, but still very cold

[Methuselah]

I've been caught-out on the A9 before - it can be pretty hairy can't it? It's almost impossible to see where you are going.

We never got 5" in Inverness; but, I think it had thawed/refrozen a couple of times before midnight. It was like walking on Rice Crispies!

[XENA]

Just had a few flakes in the air, getting cloudy from the West

[Osbourne One-Nil]

SNowing nicely here at the moment, from a predominantly blue sky! All last night's snow's gone (when I say all, I mean about 1cm) but it's only 2.1C, so bit chilly.

[Cakie]

We've got brilliant sunshine & snow :shock:

It's very small stuff but lots of it

[Supercell]

We had some thunder and lightning last night while hail/ice/sleet were smashing down. No snow though

[weather fan]

We have just had a light snow shower in Hertfordshire. It has just stopped now though.

Weather fan.
