[jo200199]

Don't get too excited yet lol, fair enough if it's the same tomorrow. :lol:

Awwwww I got my hopes up then.

Watch weather for the week ahead now bbc1

Last time I listened to the tv weather forecasts they lied :lol:

[Dartmoor_Matt]

They got this week pretty much spot on, I seem to remember them calling a snowy week, and its not been far off.

hehe...all this snow talk is getting me excited, I meant detail too lol

[J10]

Just been watching the BBC news 24 weather, a "Winter Storm" on the way, 40-50mph gusts and blizzard conditions, across much of wales, higher ground of southwest england and much of SE england! If this pulls off i will eat my computer!!!!!!!!!!!

Much prefer normal chips, not silicon ones, but each to their own.

Nervously waits for Countryfile.

True enough, but who needs details; I'd settle for "there is a chance of some sunshine this week, in between showers of rain or snow with the wind blowing from one direction or the other"

Fence sitting is an art ya know!

[noggin]

In that case I'm the oldie hehehe (27) but in my head I will always be 21 :lol:

......and I'm old enough to be your Mother!

Never too for snow, though. :lol:

[Cymro]

Awaiting Countrty file lol Snow hasn't melted at all today despite te sparadik burst of rain/sleet and snow, As the precip gets heavier its snow when its moderate its sleet when its light its drizzle. Not expecting much of a thaw tbh.

Tomorrow now looking very interesting and yes

Weather forum or not I am Welsh and Rugby mad so

Dewch ymlaen Cymru curwch yr Alban - Cymru am Byth

Come on Wales we will beat Scotland - Cymru am Byth

And what a sculpture that will make when your frozen to it :lol:

[Marcus_surfer]

Snowing here now, light and slightly wet but it is snowing

[Totoro]

I'll echo those sentiments. I live about 100M ASL in Carmarthenshire and even last Tuesday's dump of 5 inches was borderline - temps are now a degree or so higher than they were then and, for south Wales, I just can't see it happeneing on a widespread basis, if at all. Some favoured locations in south Wales may get some lying snow, but I think the 'best' that people can hope for is snow that simply won't stick/pitch/settle and, more likely than that, sleet or rain.

Now if the temp was a degree or two lower then I'd be far more optimistic, but looking at the charts (which of course are very variable!) I just can't see any major whiteout conditions here.

Perhaps if the precipitation is heavy then that will drop the temp enough, but that will just give the kind of snow that melts as soon as the precipitation ceases.

Give me 'proper' sub-zero temps instead of this borderline nonsense. Far easier to forecast AND 'better' snow.

Just so long as its not one of those with spikes on top eh! :lol:

[noggin]

Country file forecast was spot on for this week just gone. They had all the snow for us forecast right. I have great faith in their forecast.

*waits with baited breath*

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Bad forecast... 'cos it showed rain here... must be incorrect. :lol:

Its all very different from the weather not 2 hours ago.

[Marcus_surfer]

Well, looks like we are in for further snow according to thomasz schafernaker

[Mark]

Well, I have to say that I'm getting a bit excited about the possibility of some snow in the next 48 hrs after the Country File forecast :lol:

Winter storm then, hey?!?

It has to be better than the snowless day I had on Friday, though it does look like it might be a bit hit and miss here with the chance that it may only be rain.

[jo200199]

Well.....that depends on who wins later lol. Have to go start a mean Sunday roast now, hopefully when I check back here (before Wales do their thing) A freak change in weather will have you all falling over yourselves on here. Have a good day peeps :lol:

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Enjoy!

[jo200199]

Enjoy!

Since you are running low on supplies, I'll email you one mmmmmmmmmmm

What did the countryfile forecast say? - I missed it.

[J10]

snow here on Monday night according to Countryfile and over much of South Wales , but the detail was not that great, and has hand was over Wales for much of the time.

Northern track very much as per the UKMO 00Hz run, staying dry over North Wales.

WINTER STORM was forecast though.

Currently snowing again here , but very light.

[Cymro]

Well i've never heard the Weather refer to something as a Severe winter Storm, This could be very interesting for this part of Wales for Most Wales. High snowfall accumilations looks likely

[bennytes]

What did the countryfile forecast say? - I missed it.

winter storm tomorrow.

rush hour carnage.

people running naked through the streets in panic.

same ole same ole.

[BARRY]

O well I will go and get the brolly again :lol:
