[snowbob]

Hello dee dee welcome to the mad world of searching for the next bit of the White stuff

Coast is right still a few more weeks for things to change

Then this forum really gets buzzing

Here's hoping

[Dee-Dee]

Thanks snowbob

Lets hope so

[Coast]

I know things have warmed up a tad, but that just takes the Mickey!!!

An ice cream van has just pulled up outside the factory with 'whistle while you work' blaring out from the siren!

I know it's much warmer down there on the sunny south coast .....

...but surely it's not that hot today !

[mulzy]

Winter is over!

And a lot of forecasters starting to say this too, something that you said 2days ago?! Wonder if we could see a snowy end to Feb....:o

Winter needs to go now..The sun is getting stronger and stronger every day..So IF it did snow..It would all be gone in one day...Bring on a warm spring and BBQ summer !!!Oh and thunderstorms...

cold sunday coming up

Unlikely to deliver for this region.

Temperatures will be 5-6c on Sunday across most of the region, possibly 7c on the south coast.

Of more interest is the very slim possibility (circa 10%) of a cold easterly end of February / early March.

i think the easterly towards end of month is worth watching closely

ensembles have a few runs picking this up

interesting model watching again

Rubbish to say that the snow would all be gone in one day if it snowed in mid February. To cite extreme but by no means unique examples, in 1963 we had no thaw until March 6 and the sun was no stronger on good ol' Blighty then than it is now. In 1947 it was March 10 before there was any discernible thaw. February was, is, and shall always remain a solid winter month regardless of trends. And in case you still think I speak with a forked tongue, I was standing in a shivering tennis court on Feb 14th 1979 to be told by our headmaster that there was no fuel to heat the school, it was -3 and we were all to be sent home.

yellow ensemble run is very cold

more agreement on the 00z run for a colder spell from the 25th

long way to go but looking more interesting now

I'll agree with the last parts, but Winter may still hold a surprise or two. This blokes glass remains half full, and its the half where I can still get a decent drink out of it!!!

Cheers!

Didn't we also have a late October snowfall very recently, re the last paragraph in the second link? I have a Northampton football game issue in my mind.

Not only that but a couple of years ago the March/April snow lasted for several days.

I remember that we didn't go to school on the Thursday and Friday of the mid February spell. We also had a pretty major snowfall in mid March of that year too - 6 inches, but pretty much all gone in a day.

We also had snowflakes in the air around May Day - I remember our primary class dancing around the maypole in the cold and myself thinking 'thanks Mr Newman!' - our teacher.

Oh I don't know... I'd like just one more chance at some snow this winter before wanting Spring and Summer to arrive.

Although this winter wasn't as good as last years, I'm just grateful we had enough snow to build a snowman with. I remember many a winter since 1991 when we've been lucky to see a snow flake in the SE, let alone hope any would settle!

wow!! at least he was on the outside lol

[Jayces]

I know some have had lying snow for a number of days but here in London it was only a couple really

I'm afraid unless there is a suprise at the end of them month then this winter really has been back to what it was before the amazing ones of the last 2 years.

Fingers crossed for one last snowy blast

[Buckster76]

we still have the odd patch (tiny) of snow left in Essex

but in reality - even only yeesterday did the final parts go - thats pretty impressive

Thanks Mr Pike, good to see that we are singing from the same hymn sheet!
