But this is the point, isn't it? It's always a day or so away, and when we get there, it doesn't happen. sad.gif

very true but without hope what would be the point..... lazy.gifhelp.gif

My concern for sat/sunday/monday is the meto seems to be convinced we will get rain or sleet at most? any ideas on this?

Do you think the band of snow moving West will hit us?

The GFS 06z is going for 2m temps of -4C for much of the South West on Tuesday, which is lower than much of the rest of the country, which might indicate snow cover?

I did not even know it took into acount snow cover?

I think the likes of me and you over 900ft have a good chance but it would be nice if it was less marginal and whole west country had a chance. Id feel alot safer too.

We just need a little luck on our side for a change.acute.gif

Oh, don't know... maybe its just going to be cold then wink.gif

I'd feel a little safer if the MO said snow over the high ground rather than a general band of rain moving in... which is what it was yesterday. But I can't see it being -4C and raining. unknw.gif

Forecast for Dartmoor National Park for Friday

Mostly dry with bright spells and isolated showers. Temperatures struggling to rise above freezing, with a brisk northeasterly wind.

The bbc show a band of rain moving north on Tuesday with it being snow for us, is this correct? Looks like it turns to rain then though :(

Looks like my moaning paid off :) Just had a nice moderate snow shower here in East Dorset with a light dusting! - Might have to moan more often. :)

Chapmanslade!!, It wasnt hopecasting, a few websites including this website forecast snow for east dorset for the last few days!! and im not blind, i know what i saw!!! which goes to prove that some sites forecasts are really not reliable!! especially when they say 92% chance!

At least i now have learnt what forecasts not to use!

Could we? Just could we tap into this stream of snow heading our way? :)

Radar looking good. Sod's law it'll probably be 5 miles too far north!
