Well, I was beginning to think I'd have no excuse to stay at home tomorrow but it is finally snowing again here in Southampton - can just about see it in front of the streetlights, but they're fat and fluffy. Clouds still thin and patchy but sky to the NE looking orange and promising....

:doh:

-2.2C, dew point -6.0 and rising, humidity 75% and rising

Well here's the accumulation chart for the last 12 hours:

As you can see, the forcefield is keeping any significant snow showers at bay.

it's ludicrous. this really is the most desperate thing - should i cling on to some faint hope for tomorrow? Drayton is at least a mile from abingdon so maybe that will make all the difference.

I think this is going to go down as the worst snow event ever for me.

Hammering down South, Hammering up North and the Midlands has got the least snow in England by far. I am 100 miles from seeing the best snow event in my lifetime, gotta be the worst feeling ever.

hey andy chill out and take a breather we still have at least 12 more hours of potential snow showers left and then the frontal system itself. You will get quite abit. When have the south easteners ever NOT taken all of OUR well deserved snow?! lol

I think you're wrong there, atleast you've seen snow, some haven't seen a flake.

You're about 4 miles south-west of me, which could make all the difference as far as showers are concerned. It seems that only frontal snow can penetrate the forcefield.

It's chucking it down in the SE and N, a few showers are making it to the Birmingham area then dying out- starting up again over Wales in some cases.

It won't snow in Shrewsbury from an easterly

It won't snow in Shrewsbury from a westerly

It won't snow in Shrewsbury from a northerly

It certainly won't snow in Shrewsbury from a southerly

It would'nt snow in Shrewsbury if you moved Earth outside Jupiter's orbit and fired 6 million snow cannons into the air- it would still find a way to miss us

Goodnight ;);)

You know alot more then me but I thought you were in the hot spot for tomorrow night? When I seen the bbc forecast the graphics covered most of the midlands but only just scraped some of the SW.

But I dont think anyone knows, but I gotta admit I was looking forward to waking up and seeing snow falling. I haven't seen day snow for agessssssssssss. ;)

I can confirm though that the Reading forcefield is still well intact as well, you're not on your own

i honestly thought when i moved up here 6 years ago from the IOW that it could only be better! i'm wrong! hopefully, the troughs will form tomorrow and we'll be ok. it is an extraordinary thing, though. snow going north and south of us!

yep missing me by literally 5-7 miles - plenty ealrier on when I was over in Ascot, jack all here and the most annoying thing is the radar shows it over me and has been - yet I have nothing other than the lightest of sprinkles.
