Snow Watch: Midlands & C Southern England

[lettice]

In Gosport

Woken up to a good covering of snow, about 2cm or 3/4 inch

Its just started to snow lightly again too

[Summer of 95]

Well there IS snow on the ground, the first time I've seen the road here white for nigh on 2 years! Only 1cm at moment, need these showers to keep coming in......

[ISAAC]

bbc graphics arent very good at all fir west midlands, showing very little in way of snow from that low!..... oh well ignore it!

just gonna say, i dont mind in the daytime, plenty of showers coming our way. its tonight that has been severely downgraded with the snow being shown as far more patchy.

[Costa Del Fal]

Heavy Snow showers overnight has left a full covering!

[Summer of 95]

1cm of lying snow in Shrewsbury, goodness, been so long it might as well be a metre- road outside white for the first time in nigh on 2 years. Keep coming showers.......

Don't take the BBC Precip charts as Gospel, listen to Met office more.

[Nick L]

Got around an inch of snow after last night

I can understand why the snow is main news for london but on the central news aswel?

Only 1-2cm for god sake

i couldt agree more to be honest , i think its good idea to read the post on hear called 'tracking the lowe' if you go into the model discusions you should find it, it gives us a good idea why its difficult to prdict , theres a lot of trough development to occur that hasnt really began yet, its very exiting to read !

Just some light over night snow but not much

Everywhere apart from main road

Got 2nd interview 50 miles south in Swindon today not sure about the travel, I assume its down south anyone near Swindon or just north of the M4 ?

[03jtrickey]

For once I wish I lived in London!! A foot of snow in places

Stupid little dusting here.

[big_treacle]

Morning,

First post - not really sure if I'm classed as central southern or south west... - anyway, we have a dusting in Poole. Still coming down. I haven't seen a covering here in years and years. The sea has already frozen here once this year, maybe we can have some snow to remember!

[tom_f123]

Well here is the 'covering' we got here this morning, not bad i suppose

[Costa Del Fal]

Why do i get this nagging feeling that tonights event is going to deliever hardly anything for here.

Covering too in Newbury. Must get out and get some photos. Does anyone know what it will be like this morning? i.e. we still have a band over us and will it continue this morning. Radar not that clear.

[tom_f123]

Showers will continue to push in from the east across the midlands through this morning giving an extra cm or two to places, then there is a low currently tracking through france which may or may not affect us as it seems that it will be taking a more easterly direction then first thought.

[JamieUK]

So much Precipitation around, definatly was not forecast like this, so what are there forecasts actually going to turn out for the main band from France? More snow then predicted?........ less? lol

[tom_f123]

Another light snow shower here currently.

Stewfox, I`m 5 miles north west of swindon and woke to the the slightest of snow coverings earlier but its snowing more steadily (not that heavy) now and sticking. Not expecting masses of the white stuff today, roads should be ok, on the main ones any way.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

A good inch here maybe 2 in places. Fantastic!!

[Herefordweather]

Moderate snow here now, settling well.

[MR EXTREMES]

Why do i get this nagging feeling that tonights event is going to deliever hardly anything for here. :lol:

maybe because you watched the bbc graphics i see that aswell strange forecasting rain for later tonight and the main snow event the low coming up from france seems to skip most of southern england.

im not sure i have a feeling we might miss this main prolonged spell but then again im not a expert :lol:

[tom_f123]

Weheyy heavy snow falling here again

[*Stormforce~beka*]

No i'm doubting with you mate. Although i'm not too bothered with what we have already and the prospects for the rest of the week!Just pray that BBC are wrong!!I WANNA PROPER DUMPING!!!!!
