South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 10/03/13 17z---->

[karlos1983]

Think it's all gone broadly to plan with the extreme south coast the only area to see anything other than a flurry.

Dartmoor and Cornwall are probably the places that have lost out a little, with the forecast over-suggestive of snowfall there.

Otherwise I continue to maintain that the best place in our region for anything today (and even there its nothing more than decent light snow) wil be the Southampton/Portsmouth and Isle of Wight area.

Any reports from the Channel Islands? They were one area forecast to get something significant?

I still think Dorset East could do ok today

[Man With Beard]

Continues to snow lightly, probably 1cm now but still not sticking to the roads

[Moleyroley]

Few centimetres on grass here ( Portland ) so frustrating seeing that heavier stuff just out in the channel ! If only it would push slightly north ! I can almost touch it lol

[Mapantz]

It looks to be fading quickly for our region i think ..

[jessandjon]

I have flakes!!! Small ones

[AWD]

Yep. If anything half decent falls, that's where it will be.

[That ECM]

Starting to brighten up, I can understand the frustration with the heavy stuff in the channel but hey Ho it's the Channel Islands turn. Good luck to them. What is more frustrating is that the French are getting some!!!!!

[wightwootton]

snowing for 2 hours now, looking good looking at the radar for later!

-0.4c ; windchill -6.2c ; dewpoint -1.6c

[coffee lover]

Still moderate snow here..

[Andy hoyland]

Are you guys looking at the same radar as me? http://www.jerseymet.gov.je/radar/Radar.htm

That heavier band is getting closer and closer, I should know...I kept my girlfriend up by tracking it every half hour through the night! Oops it's an illness!

[cornish snow]

I think it's a case of poor old cornwall once again.

We must all be magicians because somehow,we always seem to magic the snow away.

[lettice]

some bigger flakes now in gosport

That radar isn't reflecting properly, half of the precip is missing from the coverage.

I'm not buying the heavier stuff moving this way, the low is creeping very slowly east, precip is fading from here but it'll begin to pep up in the Sussexes and Kent.

Indeed, all is far from lost. There remains the strong possibility that heavier stuff will affect the east of our region at least. Sussex and IOW well placed IMO but no reason why Dorset/Hampshire couldn't pick more up later on. Keep an eye of the radar for NW edging of higher intensisty stuff as it tracks ENE

[Andy hoyland]

Let's have a little optimism! I'm still hopeful! Cheers for the backup s4lancia!

Light snow in Swanage leaving a dusting on cars and houses, the tiniest flakes I,ve ever seen.

[divadee]

i have to say its suddenly got warmer here. cant give stats as at work, but what had settled on cars is now melgting away. It is still very lightly snowing though

[snowmadchrisuk]

Well SW now looks mainly Dry and increasingly bright with just the odd flurry, GFS has even backed off on the Snow showers reaching down here, Aside from a few wintry showers on Wednesday , then cool with light rain showers until a band from the NW hits over the weekend , possibly proceeded by Snow in the East but most of our area will probably be rain .... As for the Models if it was January the upcoming setup would be Snow heaven , but as it's march low pressure over the country with uppers around 0 will mean feeling Cold and Wet. The weather gods have really not been on the South Wests side this winter , but hey ho , maybe next year

[Moleyroley]

Well my met app has changed to heavy snow at 12.00pm ! Currently lots of little flakes few centimetres on the ground :@)

[cerneman]

March last year was sunny and Warm,,,, Was having to open greenhouse vents to keep seedlings cool,,,,,,,,,Sitting down by river for lunch, Warm evenings,

Lets hope this year we get good late Spring and Summer

[Bumpkin]

temp 0.4c dp -7.1c and a bloody hideous biting wind. I have to take the dogs out in a minute with the wind racing across the fields. I should have invested in a balaclava. I'm yearning for the weather of I think last Tuesday of sun and about 15c, so lovely.

The wind has also caused another problem. I have a rather daft male blue tit who keeps attacking his reflection in my new patio door. The advice was to cover the door in clingfilm which I did but the wind blew it off last night and he is back again today flying and pecking at the glass.

[jessandjon]

Took dog for walk few very small flakes blowing about

[island lad]

Things developing nicely in arreton on on the isle of wight !

[sandhurst-smoker]

Is this system going to edge anymore north wards at all ?

Berkshire in fiiring line ?
