South Central England Regional Discussion Thread Part 3

[PompeyFC]

When are we allowed to RAMP? All this mass is currently falling as freezing rain, sleet and snow and is heading due SOUTH. This is however, expected to change to a more SW'ly flow later on.

Come to daddy!

Fair enough PompeyFC, but would you believe the BBC graphics over the actual radar? As ever, time will tell.

Looks like the heavier stuff in the NW if on current track has got its name written all over us coasties. Heres hoping. good luck to all. A special thanks to GTLTW for running this thread, Its a thankless job and time consuming. Cheers,

Thankyou kindly, all I wish is for a nice well tempered thread and awidespread snow event where it snows on everybody's house across the whole region. Is that too much to ask?

hope every one has a lampost and tape measure at the ready!

the current 2 week cold spell is still pressing on.

If you see a bit of snow tonight or not then please your time will come.

areas on the coast are always going to be marginal, thats the peril of living by the sea in the u.k

Remember when it`s hot in the summer and you all pop down the beach in the evening all us in land have to travel to ge tto the sea

yes because the front is supposed to weaken considerably as it gets further south - so it is feasible and I have seen it happen

[iowpompeylee]

Non event for the iow.all goes west

[The Moo]

Hmm but lookin at th radar i cant c it missing us! only prob may be whether it falls as snow or rain!

[Purplepixii]

don't shoot the messenger (me)...

Ian Fergusson @fergieweather

“@jacko2255: @fergieweather What are the chances of snow in Poole overnight?†very small generally.

[katemart]

Seems to me all the findus crispy pancakes are throwing toys out of the pram, not like them

:rofl:

These showers in Berks and North Hants are just the aperitif. Be prepared for them to fizzle out before the main event. Please, please, please let's keep the orange and red bits and don't let it break down.....

[gottolovethisweather]

Seems to me all the giraffes with hats on are throwing toys out of the pram, not like them

Please don't wind these coasties up as tempers can get frayed quite easily in here, including mine as I try to gain control of the kids classroom. Even, when their hopes for snow are the best they've been all year, some still remain pessimistic or as they like to say, realistic.

[iowpompeylee]

Saintskip is a bell.....sorry mods

Looking at the radar....it looks more hopeful...

[gottolovethisweather]

Meanwhile its 0.0c AT, -2.1c DP in Newbury, Berkshire. What other reports do we have out there right now?

Sweeeeet

[Stoxs]

0 oc temp- -3oc dew point,

[lynnsim]

Evening everyone. Currently temp 0c, dewpoint -3c and humidity 80%.

No sign of any snow here yet, despite staring intensely at a lamp post for 5 mins!

[coram]

Looks like the MetO have got this one pretty much spot on. In this region it looks as if Berks has a reasonably good chance of 2-5cms, but probably only a dusting for north and north west Hants. Nothing for Dorset.

Light small snow here ...
