Such a shame the 2m temps just wernt that cold.

It seemed to thawing as it was snowing during the morning.

With tempertures below freezing, snowfall amounts would of been interesting. Due to the wet type of snow, no drifting occured.

Will I see my temperature gauge drop below freezing tonight? It still hasent reached negative values since this 'cold spell' started last Saturday.

Well all in all a fantastic day, only stopped snowing about an hour ago and just been out and measured before the melt sets in and we have had17cm in Ventnor far more than expected. Hats off to Ian Ferguson et al for getting this spot on.

Here's looking forward to Sunday now, bring it on.

Just been out for a few hours to enjoy the snow. The deepest snow i've seen in my lifetime IMBY, probably around 15cm. Amazing to walk through a wooded area with the branches covered in snow. Apart from getting deeper snow, it cant get any better than this for me.

Good stuff PB, my last measurement was over three hours ago now and even then it was 80mm so I can say I am pleased with that.

Plenty of action to come over the next few days and I can see very little melting going on, in this part of the region. smile.png

When I went for a walk ther was some melting...sides of roads in the channels, also I can see it a little on my road at the junction in the tyre tracks. rather than being compacted white is it brown and slightly slushy, Not massively and as we draw to evening I suspect this will freeze again. Interestingly too there were a few iceicles on some cars ...think this was were they had been driven and warmed up and then parked up again with the water freezing as it dripped off.

Hmm lets see what happens next few days... could be interesting. drinks.gif

Not sure if its just my elevation that is confusing radar or not but I have been clear of all ppn for about an hour now and still light to moderate snow falling good.gif quite strange

Not long now for fresh ramping materials I hope air_kiss.gif

I've been in the same white area of the radar as you and we've had showers all afternoon of varying intensity, currently very light.

Feb 18 1978, Boot hill Rodwell was impassable, Had to leave my car bottom hill and walk up to Cross Road, Think also was Easter 79, Snow was bad in that area, That particular fall started in the morning and got pretty bad before it turned to rain, Also New Years Eve 78/79 saw snow that froze and stayed few days around Rodwell

Thank you. That has brought joy to my husbands ears. I was living away in 1978.

Melting like crazy here for the last hour or so, looks like more coming, but although it is showing as snow, wonder if it will fall as such when it gets here?

Ha ha, yep sounds like me. Was up most of Wed night going through all the charts etc then last night only got about an hour's sleep as was also too excited to sleep.

More chances this winter yes I'm sure (possibly, with a bit of luck, Sunday for staters) but Rodwell is not ideally placed (as I'm sure you know!). I'm 2 and a half miles inland and it often just is enough to make the difference between wet snow and sleety rain. Keep the faith, you'll get some! smile.png

That is music to my husbands ears and has brought some joy back into his life :-)

I don't say much, but I know you all like a snow photo. Here's the A4 just past Savernake Forest at the point, two miles into my journey, when I thought I might as well give up and work at home. I took my good camera with me, though, "just in case" tease.gif

ETA: Oh, the pix seem a bit big - next time I'll make them a bit smaller ;)

Brilliant!! You could change your name lol !

A good 5 to 6 inches in Warminster, although local variances are obvious when seeing cars driving past with only a few inches on them.

Going to freeze overnight, although not as bad if the sky doesn't clear and at this stage continued snow flurries/showers look likely.
