Welcome to the south west smut thread   snow or the threat of snow brings out the best in people

[Rich_Clements]

I remember a trip to Bristol Zoo sometime in the mid/late 70's and it was horrendous my dad had left his car on the downs and it nearly got left there it was so bad and we got home to nothing.

There's some top banter in this thread that's the beauty of the regional threads, people get along most of the time and the rules aren't as strict as the mod thread!

Sadly, can't see any showers reaching Oxford tonight but it looks like the South coast have showers incoming!

Does make me laugh on here. Oh God......the Mod thread makes me Laugh, even more!!!!!

Ian F has just retweeted someone reporting snow in Taunton

A little to far south for me that one, few flakes nothing much.

 

Looks like a dry patch for a couple of hours now.

I was thinking precisely the opposite was happening, give it 45 minutes or an hour and see if those cells out West make it over to you via the Cotswolds or whether they kill them off. All showery activity is tending to move in a WNW to ESE direction. As for Newbury, we are but in the quiet zone pretty much as anticipated, still time for things to change though, more interest in the days forthcoming.

Paha Beka, i'm going to go and stick my head out the door as it's on it's way here. I'll stick a few flakes in the freezer with your name on if there are any

Well better than a damp wet patch like I have I guess ... ;-)

 I'm so not saying anything right now.  We truly need to move the conversation on.

The problem is , there gettin over the Welsh mountains , and then they hit the very low ground in evashum , Tewksbury and Gloucestershire , that's what kills them off , iv watched it first hand for years , even under frontal conditions , the first place to look for signs of a weakening front is the area from evashum southwards .

If they intensify then we may get something , but they look heavy just 40 miles away only to fizzle out once they hit the erea of death mentioned above !

Why do they need my name on? Are there snow flake stealers within your household? :-D Think they will think you have totally lost it when they look in there hahaha.

 

Still stars - I give up lol

[Bristawl Si]

Detailed Alex Deakin forecast just now on BBC News24, went out to Monday.

Not much snow i'm afraid and even on Sunday temps here forecast to be 5 or 6c.

Mentioned the LP coming down just West of Ireland, on the jetstream, on Monday. Meto keeping an eye on it but at the mo it's forecast to skirt West of Ireland and head into Bay of Biscay.

Hinted at HP taking over midweek.

Seems that Northerly flow over w/e and into early next week not as unstable as models were showing a day or two ago.

Never mind.

A very valid point, they might not do as intended although one knows one's patch better than the one who lives there, if you get my gist.

Dodged showers in Poole, and now dodging showers back in Wareham.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

So I thought this was meant to be better than last time - colder - so how come day temps will still be over 5c?! Seems similar to me ... And pretty pants for any with lying snow over night as it will do the usual melt in an hour in the morning ...

I've just been outside in my slippers and gown to look at the worlds smallest radar snow blob, so I think they think that already

 

Well, it precipitated, but it was mostly sleet with a few flakes thrown in. Still, onwards and upwards..

They seem to be dying out before they get here maybe later on in the night we will see a few flurries.

I have to cycle to work in the morning, which is 12 miles away! So the sensible part of me is hoping it stays snow free until I reach work. The other part of me is thinking... It can snow whenever it wants to dammit!

Right there is another one Sat over Salisbury right now - might give a direct hit so i'll keep my nose peeled ready. HAng on thats eyes peeled lol. Temp dropped 0.5c since the last one flew through. I will get this one! (This is me and buses --- always miss em!)

[Jayfromcardiff]

I hope we see some snow Monday otherwise I'll be declaring winter over in the mod thread haha. It won't be will it snow in Cardiff, it'll be will it ever snow in Cardiff?

[Charlton Adam snow]

Heavy sleet here at the moment - Temp down to 2.1c, no DP reading - but wouldn't take much for snow! looks like a bit of mini-streamer setting up with a line of showers appearing in the Celtic sea and heading across somerset Glastonbury, and on towards Frome, then Warminster - may not get too much further.

Maybe our night in Somerset, who knows - may have to set the alarm for 3am!!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Noooo! Nice shower with orange in it - get at Winchesters door step and pah blue and a tiny bit of yellow!

 

Ok window open nearly froze my baby feeding devices off - a bit of cloud - a bit of noise - my guess - Sleet .. Still not seen a damn flake yet mind!!
