General Cold Spell Discussion

[Guest]

Light to moderate snow here, settling, 0c and a fresh to strong NE wind.

NL! Hi, I hope life on the farm's a bit easier for you these days

Heavy snow here now but it seems to have been raining during the night as well as snow so not much collected, maybe an inch or two.

Unbelievable i go away for a few days expecting heavy rain to turn to snow today and guess what its drizzling and it feels like a June night, what the hell happened to our cold spell.

Sorry Eugene, we stole it :lol: Well, actually, someone stuck it on a lorry and sent it up the M6 and it seems to have fallen off half way up the M74 towards Glasgow...

[cold snap]

WOW.Snow in dublin cc

The snow is starting to stick on the very wet ground

This winter will never be forgotten.

Parents are at their van in pembs. Torrential rain has turned to heavy snow. Still mild and drizzly here 50 miles away. Interesting times.

Hilarious stuff here, moderate snow falling with some big flakes.

Not sticking yet though.

Morning Gilly!

Lamb's snow, why not? We saw some lambs on Saturday

I'm just back from taking BoyCatch to school. The pavements and roads are just slush so it must have been raining at some point overnight as well as a wee bit of snow. Really heavy snow now though, it's like late February but nowhere near as deep!! :lol:

Morning HC. That'll be the Black Isle curse then??

I saw a car on the way to school with 6 inches of snow on it. They must live up the backroad somewhere

[Norrance]

Still cold rain and sleet here. Some snow / slush lying in NWest of the city and cars coming in from the West are white. Parts of Perthshire are being hit again.

Yea I'm just waiting to the proper colder air undercuts.. only 30-40m above they have lying snow surley it cnt change to snow in that distance

[The Eagle]

Snow arrived in Dublin this morning. Sleet now. Expecting blizzard for alot of Ireland tonight. It's certainly going to be interesting!

I'm surprised you're not seeing snow since the BBC article specifically mentioned conditions being "particularly bad between Coleraine and Maghera."

Nno that's high ground they got snow just up the road from me

[scottishandy]

All white here and still tipping down. 3-4 inches. Nice stong winds so must be a blizzard.

[blitzen]

Just sleet/rain here. Very cold and windy tho'. Anything for later on?

[Nights King]

meto update for south west is bit more interesting -

Often cloudy with showers or longer spells of rain. Some sunny intervals developing in the west. Wet snow over high ground of Devon and Somerset. Strong to gale force winds already across Cornwall will extend eastwards to Devon and Somerset. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Tonight:

Windy in the south and west with gales in exposed areas. Further showers or longer spells of rain, with sleet or wet snow on high ground of Devon and Somerset. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

I might see some yet!

Temperture has droped dramaticaly here in the last hour or so from 9.2c to 4.2c and dewpoint falling with it im on ground of 200meters in the far north of Cardiff county so maybe, im only 10miles inland though so its hit or miss I think.

I'll be almost contented if I just get to see snow falling rather than laying in this cold spell but you never know.

Just looked at radar and there is pink (snow) showing up in cornwall!

Temperature is falling like a stone here also now! I looked an hour ago and it was 8c but now it is only 4.5c!

Turning to snow at 4 or 5 canny wait

Turning to snow at 4 or 5 canny wait

I hope you get some snow frosty.

We have had snow on and off all morning here although it's not really coming to much. Maybe about an inch of snow but it is thawing as fast as it is falling. I suspect anywhere a little higher than me will have several inches by now, if some of the cars I saw earlier were anything to go by.

Good luck,

For some reason we'd had snow here since morning.

Of the wet variety and not sticking but some big juicy flakes and its quite heavy.

[AderynCoch]

10C, grey and rainy after a low of 9C - where the hell is the cold air?

Low pressure in the worst possible place as far as I'm concerned. It needs to budge to the east, pronto!

[Nights King]

We now have some sleet in the rain outside! and temperature continues to fall

Typical!! I have cold air but not enough precip, you have the precip but not enough cold air. We could do a deal. I'll give you some of my cold air and you can give me some of your precip. Like a timeshare but with the weather
