Very chilly wind out there in the wilds of Bridgwater.

My new car just told me it is 2c and to be aware of icy surfaces.

I used to drive a Nissan Sunny, now I drive an Alfa, so please allow me my excitement :D

Haha!! Yeah, got sent to bed without a story by the mods!!

I have to say, this is the heaviest snow I have seen all winter. Huge flakes and settling nicely now!!

Yes, you bad boy!.....I would say 'sent to bed with no supper' but me thinks you had a copious liquid alcoholic supper........100 lines for you, repeat after me....'I shall not call my cat rude names..." laugh.png

Hi guys,

Is it possible, that it could snow down here in Newton Poppleford, overnight? We really need a good load of snow? 5 cm?

Thanks,

William

At first glance in my less than par state I am still confused... Just watched bbc forecast and not a flake in sight or even rain apart from south west of taunton but then regional text says rain and snow accross region with accumilations.. tease.gifsearch.gif

Enjoy your new car, I was only teasing the other day, and besides, every true petrol head has owned an Alfa!

Dont want to sound a killjoy here on the IOW snowfest, but Im a little consered if any snow will manage to settle, the ground will surely be above frezzing. Lets hope that the snow prep will be heavy enough to counteract this. I hope my pesamistic outlook is wrong, anybody care to coment on if this is a borderline deep snow event for the IOW or not.

Haven't got time to post charts as I'm off to buy flowers for the good lady, but the NMM06z hi-res output is out and it's a substantial shift north for snow potential, all of the region would see something if verifies.....AWD will no doubt post the hi-res charts shortly....but it's good news folks based on this output!! biggrin.png

If the GFS forecast can be right just for the next 6 hours Somerset and Bristol will have very Heavy Snow by 6pm tonight ... Guess I have been right all week about this going down to t-0 ... Ignore Met office apps, they will be updated by lunch time ... Expecting warnings to be moved further North within the next hour ... 6z GFS is latest run out and in this situation they can't ignore it's output.

The PPN is from the Low , but the low is suppose to wind up later and move into the Channel , this is when the explosive fun and games should commence ... The low is currently in the Atlantic to the West of Biscay . but the GFS has it now moving NE ...

Nowhere near an expert like most on this forum and I am well aware that many charts,influences and sudden changes have to be taken into account, but surely by the look of the latest GFS it will take more than the usual Poole Harbour snow shield to keep that lot out this time!. It shows precipitation from 9pm this eve continuing well into tomorrow!

What would you expect to happen after 6pm looking at that? does it all move east?

That met office warning is still all south of us?
