And the excessive use of 'man'. I also escaped the dodgy accent regardless of spending my early life in Pensnett

I think nowadays the Black country accent is fading away. The younger people dont seem to have it as such anymore.

Anyway back on topic, still plenty of snow reports from the SW and Wales.

[Herefordweather]

Sleet in Hereford.

Planty of green popping up according to the weather type radar on the Northern flank.

Seems to be rotating over the last half hour. Loosely though I might add. We don't have a supercell snowstorm coming.

[Costa Del Fal]

GFS 06z pushes things slightly SE wards, probably what we needed here.

I know I saw that, over now I think, anyway temp too high at 2.6C

I know, it was too marginal over the atlantic...

Or something to that effect...

Just about cold enough for any precipitation to turn to snow here, 1.0c/0.3c and it's pretty stable.

Your temps always lower than mine, I had 2.5 max yesterday, now at 2.6C

[Tomomcd]

GFS looking interesting for saturday morning too :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

Interesting to note that some are reporting dropping temps under the ppn. :lol:

[locneverstop]

Temp 1.0 and DP 0 according to the radar here.

Expecting a rise over the next couple of hours though.

Turn the heater down :lol:

[Herefordweather]

Temps dropped from 2.0c to 1.5oc. Still very wet snow.

[locneverstop]

Is there anywhere I can get more accurate (and up to date) Temps and dew points from? I don't trust the radar's built in feature

XC Weather is good. www.xcweather.co.uk

1ºc and darkening skies ahead of all that precip down south.

Thanks.

Looking at that and comparing it to the radar, it does look like temperatures have dropped to freezing under the PPN. May bode well seeing as we're not forecast to rise above 2C today.

[Nick L]

The thing is though, we will get the PPN at the worst possible time - early to mid afternoon.

No sooner did I click on the Add Reply button, and out of the sky falls soft hail and snow.

Could be an interesting afternoon.

Well I had better get a move on and get my paper round done before the rain moves in

yeah, this bands really marching along at a fair old pace, typical.

[Nick L]

Monumental downgrade. The Met Office have issued a flash warning for 2-5cm of snow - which normally means we will get nothing more than a slushy dusting
