Well, light and occassionally moderate-ish shower here in Stroud for 15 mins, was starting to settle on the clear road outside. 10 hours of even that would prove very interesting!

I wonder if our man in Jersey is getting another pasting? There's been an incredible 24 hour streamer over those islands and it still continues.

Snowing in Winterbourne (out of the blue, literally)

Same here now big flakes aswel.

Blue sky with very fast passing clouds must be the strong wind. Still snowing getting heavier.

Well, that was a fun trip to town... not. Still, least most of the idiots coming on to the Moors went the other way and didn't block our way down... that said if the guy touched his brakes once on the ice he touched them a thousand times, so not a big suprise he over ran the corner :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm sticking to Sky News, for various reasons but the main one being they show snow for the extreme SW tomorrow. (and indeed tonight so 12 hrs of snow)

-4c in the car. Balmy.

welcome back Mullender, how were the ski conditions?

Why you sticking with Sky news? What reasons? Is it because they show snow for your area and the BBC dont? rolleyes.gif

Why?

Because they called Tuesday night correct for here, the BBC didn't.

Because they don't change their forecasts every half an hour, like the BBC do.

Because the BBC is a biased organisation that is supposed to be impartial, where as Sky might also be baised but at least aren't using the licence fee.

Because Sky is a far superior news channel.

BBC said 2C here today, Sky said below freezing.

Edit: This is for the national forecasts, local BBC are much more consistant.
