[farmer2555]

wots the outlook for yeovil area am i likely to see much of the white stuff

[Paul T]

-4.2 oC in plymouth. lowest since Jan 6th 09

[dogs32]

temp gone up here to -2.5 from -5

snow developing up north and extremely slowly moving South

[Somerset Squall]

Temperature still falling here, down to a bitter -8.2C, colder than last night. Cloud not far away by the looks of things however.

[BristolBlizzard]

For once, everything looks to be going our way for a change. We have low enough temperatures, lots of PPN and even if things change a little we still should be all good

If the models change dramatically, then let the wrist slitting begin.. lol

[dogs32]

temp falling now to -3

Snowing lightly in some part's of the North Midland's.

We will know by tomorrow early morning around 4.00am or round about's if it's nailed.

Or decided to pay the East a visit.

But I think it's to close now to move dramatically East or West by miles

So looking good..If you like snow..and hell if you dont

Temp increasing here in Bristol as well. From -3.7 to -2.6 in half an hour. Looking at the sat we can notice clouds coming from WNW

nice one havent seen that one before,,,now bookmarked..

prediction from earlier

[BristolBlizzard]

OMG, anybody just see the BBC24 weather forecast?

The graphics showed light snow from about midday onwards tomorro, then as the day progresses getting heavier and heavier. Much of the West country and parts of South West were in the snow zone all tuesday night and all of wednesday.

Why does this seem too good to be true, please mother nature just this one time!

prediction from earlier

That prediction looks sort of like an inverted supercell radar frame, hook forming on the end .

Jokes aside, not had any snow this winter here in exeter other than a slight dusting on one occasion so looking forward to getting some interesting weather. Hopefully it won't make things to chaotic but I wouldn't mind seeing a decent snowfall, we had a lot in feb and some in early march, 2010 looks to be starting another interesting year.

well thats what Paul said a F4..lol

Same here Dave,NOTHING.. just a dusting...not even classed as snow it was so poor

[aspire27]

If the system is going to shift 50 miles, then its going south west I think.

Plymouth, Exeter and Dartmoor will be in the firing line, and will get 12 inches.

Heres to hoping!!!

(Reality will probably be that the showers arrive tomorrow morning as sleet/rain, move on before the temp drops again, and then we miss the worst of the Wednesday snow…)

Hi Paul T. Thanks for that long post earlier dedicated to me!

Well what can i say....a massive turn around in the model output in our favour.....the East peoples are really upset in the Model output thread and are begging for the models to change in their favour at 4.00am...

This is my big worry...a huge shift east. I dreading reading the output in the morning!

[leon]

Off to sleep...it's gonna be a long day tomorrow... Looking at the radar so far it is more or less il line with GFS. Let's hope that Low pressure will be positioned where it is predicted by 18Z.

Nite nite

Leon

[Wilxy]

Better not il be gutted and just never forgive this if we dont get it.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Night all take care.

[dogs32]

yea Im off...good luck all....I doubt there will be a massive downgrade now.to close

I think there will most probably be small change but nothing dramatic, its just too close to the event now. Usually the BBC are pretty good with short range forecasts so I'm feeling optimistic.

But what do I know? If it goes pear shaped in this short amount of time, then I will lose faith in all forecasts

Temp up to -4.3C

Somebody from the Model Thread posted this snow disruption chart.
