Wow thats my site lol thanks for that! glad to know others like it so much im not sure if im quite a pro though lol but i like to have a go at forecasting sometimes when I have time

We had some sleet that almost turned to wet snow just now but then went back to mostly rain and stopped..

And welcome to Netweather

I'm not that much of a pro but all the snow is making me get quite interested... hoping for a bit in the OSM area!

[Ukwoody]

Stunned> It's 6.2c here at present and just looked out to see the rain...... to discover it has snowed at some point and we have a thin covering! twice in a week for Milford is unheard of. Hope it gets thicker and stays this time!

temp is up and down like a yoyo here... but its not doing anything outside now, no rain, no snow, no sleet ... however any snow that was there has now most definately gone!

haha my wife thinks I am completely nuts and obsessed by snow, every winter without fail I am an avid frequent obsessed beast looking out for snow. She loves the snow also, but doesnt go on forums etc discussing the potential.

I love it.

[dr_whosam]

Can someone tell me whats going on on the radar please??

[NickSomerset]

Hey..We all breathed in and guess what...its SNOWing...and..we are on Orange warning for Met Office...Ohhh...the snow gods have chosen Somerset for their playground tonite...... :lol:

[NiikAURA]

Currently -4.1C here, clear skies.

All the current snow cover is totally frozen now, we still have 2-3 inches lying on the ground :lol:

It will certainly be snow here, problem is, will it actually reach North East Wales?

The main area that is just leaving France, it seems to be a little too far east?

[bennytes]

well, so far, this exceptionally severe event has provided me here with a good few feet of fresh air.

it's drifting too.

:lol:

my Advanced Precipitation Detector (APD ) is bloody freezing now.

have to put a hat on!
