what if we all open our fridge doors?

sounds like a plan to me, and the freezer door ;-)

[Lincslad]

Rain in southern Cornwall will push away later. Very unlikely to bring any settling snow.

[Argyle1980]

Well it's Cornwall's turn to enjoy the radar watching this eve.... And the lamp post , still have a good chance for some snow!.

[karlos1983]

Looks like its turned to snow in Channel Islands according to my meteo group app. Any confirmation?

[Lincslad]

Its rain at Jersey Airport. Temps are 3.1 degrees.

DP there around 0c though and XCWeather reporting rain/snow now.

[Lincslad]

Yes DP are 0 degree, but surface temps are around 3 degrees. Slightly cooler on Sark, where its 2.3 degrees.

The weather here is so boring, I think I'm going to die!!!

Well maybe not die, but maybe a holiday to tornado valley?

[divadee]

Wow it's quiet on here!!! Have you all got fed up of Groundhog Day and left the country for better places??

[Lincslad]

Temps have risen in Jersey and S Cornwall over the past hour. Confirms that any precipitation is of rain.

[Beast of Plympton]

trying its best up Kelly bray. if this band makes it to Dartmoor and I miss out it will be typical of this winter.

Nothing here yet!!

[karlos1983]

Well any hope of that front pushing north has now deminished, but still some interest next week!

Yes, the front currently to the South of Cornwall is weakening and pushing away. Temps in Truro are 2.8c and 2.6c in Jersey where it is either raining or sleeting. There was a period of snow in Alderney earlier where temps were 1.6c.

Our local shipping forecast (just updated) is forecasting the risk of snow near the french coast. It's still sleeting here now so I wouldn't be too surprised to see some of the white stuff here overnight especially if Alderney has already had some

Temp has recently fallen to 1.5C at Jersey Airport and precipitation is becoming more wintry

There is snow falling and settling across the water in France. Its now 0.5c in Alderney and snow is begining to settle - albit very wet. Jersey may see some wet snow, but this is unlikely to accumulate to anymore than a slushy 1-2cm.

[karlos1983]

Just saw some tumble weed.......

It would appear there is light at the end of the tunnel if the ECM is to be believed.

Lets hope for a surprise or 2 from the Easterly setting up next week, then perhaps we can start dreaming of spring warmth!

Spring warmth?? I'm starting to wonder if we are going to miss a season the way this is going!

Only 3 months now until we start to lose the daylight again and head back towards winter

Insane isn't it. Atleast it's dry, I think that's the only positive to take from this current spell

[cornish snow]

Feel a bit sad this morning.Just became aware that Glacier point will no longer be posting in the MOD thread

I admit i didn't understand a word he was saying but still looked foreward to reading his posts.

Losing some intrest in that thread if i'am honest and his departure will just make things worse.

Way to many posters with way to big egos for me i'am afraid.

Wish GP the v.best in his new job.
