No, id say its right, my temp here has been rising since about 9 o clock tonight! odd isnt it, i put it down to cloud cover,

Oh okay, yeah that's probably it. Only on previous nights the temperature has actually held its own and sometimes still gone down under cloud cover. As you say, a little odd but there we go. :shok:

I just want to know if we are going to have snow lying on Monday as my friend and I have models planned for an ice zoo in my garden. He is starting with a giraffe and I am starting with a lion, we will build on from there. :cold:

I can't see why you wouldn't...

Mind you, this is the Westcountry and as we all well know, "snow don't like it down in these parts"!

Guaranteed it'll clear off at the first available opportunity (but I can't see that being before Tuesday, from what I've seen/heard/read)...

Could do with a short period of lesser cold around Weds-Fri so I can easily get in from exams as the exam boards are a bit thick with regards to difficulties in travelling long distances and absences for exams. Then the next cold spell can come back with a vengeance. :lazy:

Rob McElwee on BBC1 has just said that the bulk of the snow will be in the SE, with everywhere else in the South "getting a light dusting" :wallbash:

He also said that towards the middle of the week, they could be forecasting "heavy snow for Cornwall and Devon... and nowhere else"!!!

Not looking good then.. :wallbash:

Well, the main snow shifted from West to East this week at the last minute, so maybe the reverse will happen this time (if there's any justice in the snow-world!)...

Surley the SE have had enough by now?!!

Anyway, off to bed now... An early trip to Tescos awaits me in the morning (to buy 15 pints of milk and 10 loaves of bread... NOT!)...

I just hope there isn't a shotage of chocolate croissants! :clap:

What the hell is going on with this so called snow threat Sat night Sun Mon etc. All the TV media are showin snow for all of south britain and yet there are no warnings at all from the met Just an advisory. For something this close it doesnt make sense.

I think Wednesday could produce a fair large dumping for some.

Though many days away,

from the met

There is a moderate risk of severe weather affecting parts of south Wales and SW England on Wednesday.

There is potential for further outbreaks of snow, which could locally be heavy and prolonged at times. This will lead to further icy stretches on roads and pavements.

Issued at: 0125 Sat 9 Jan

Bath + NE Somerset

I think people in the SW should be very very happy.

We've had some bitterly cold weather,(some of the coldest temps for over 20 years).

Most of the SW has a covering of snow(with snow on the ground for the last 3-4 days).

We have advisories out for Heavy snow for the SW, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (The first time I can ever remember 4 advisories in a row for Heavy snow, let alone with snow already on the ground ! ).

Lets remember how lucky we have been so far this winter... :D

BTW as was mentioned above far more showers today than they predicted.

Morning all...severe wintry conditions expected here in the Channel Islands for the next three days at least. I have woken this morning to another whiteout and several cm's of fresh snow and if our local forecast is correct, snowfall amounts here by tomorrow morning will be the highest we have seen here for a long time :D

All public transport services have been suspended and many roads are becoming either treacherous and / or impassable.

Veeeeeeeeeery nice! :) I was having a look yesterday at the Channel Streamer that was pounding the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, that then tracked further south and hit you guys. The snow totals must be quite nice in places round there! :)
