63F, monsoon, gale force south westerly....same as every year!

Great, I like to use my wellies at once a year!

[gottolovethisweather]

gottolovethisweather... what is it doing in newbury now? I'm not too far from you so i am always curious to see what is hitting you as, often, we get it soon after.

AT 0.4c (hasn't budged much for hours), DP -0.3c, Easterly winds 1mph 10 minute average, cm or so covering on grass and car roofs, BLOOD PRESSURE 96F.

Not all these readings are calibrated by Davis Instruments.

Time for a drink, preferably alcoholic.

Strong signal for snow inland on IOW in UKMO UKV & UK4 modelling. Basically, increasingly marginal for coastal snow as you head further W towards Portland, Lyme Bay etc and less marginal as you head further E where sea track reduces and thus degree of boundary layer modification from continental feed. Uplands of Dorset show 5-10cm widely early AM before gradual thaw, at least at lower levels, here, Devon & Somerset through Fri afternoon. Hope this helps clarify!

Thanks for the post but no thanks to the detail!! Don't want any sort of thaw thanks!

[rockhopper]

Light snow here in Trow 1.2c

[Paul T]

Temp has dropped from 3.8 to 3.4 here in 30 mins...

[RCT]

Temperature starting to

drop!

[blondends]

1.1c and holding steady - light snow since 5:30pm ish (since I have been home from work). Not settling though!

Cheltenham

[festivalking]

Do you think they'll get snow up sheepstor or around burator? or is that a bit low?

Should think so sheepstor is 350 m asl so you would hope they get it there. Leather Tor opposite is higher still. MInd you if its obviously white out there Plymouth will decamp to the moors so get there early!

[Dean E]

must be the rain ):

I think there must be something wrong with that station! Still light snow here over the other side of Butser and feels very cold out. There can't possibly be a 9-10 degree temp difference!

Yes there is a problem with my station, nearly at 14c right now, going to pop outside to check it in a second.

Who can spot my station?!

thanks Ian - I would assume that Portsmouth might just be in with a shout in that case if IOW are due some

[OldMetMan]

Exactly the points I have been making over the past 24-36 hours or so, even quoting the Dec 81 event.

Sorry Uncle Barty, I haven't been back to look at earlier posts.

[noonoo418]

Snow here, just about heavy enough to start settling

[jonlu69]

Light snow here in Trow 1.2c

I can almost confirm this although rockhopper must be standing on a chair for elevation as I would call it snizzle © poster on here earlier..

[TheHumph]

Yes definatally my station, nearly at 14c right now, going to pop outside to check it in a second.

Is it on fire?????

True that! Have to drag the g/f out of bed by her ankles!

[Bumpkin]

I think I am suffering from snow fatigue and it's not even here yet, Can anyone give me a forecast for Glastonbury festival please?

Torrential rain and flooding. Just the usual fare for Glasto

Winchill really starting to kick in now, Bring those temps down, come on baby!! -1.10c wind chill

A mud bath as usual.

Forecasting Glastonbury should be a piece of cake after this.

[Paul T]

The reason we all need the temps to drop is because i believe the band of ppn that is infront of the main band will progress inland quicker than expected; Therefore we all want this to be snow and not rain before the main band 'properly' drops the temps...

[Wilxy]

Im feeling excited
