At least I can recall the epic winter of 62/63.  I had just passed my driving test and it was harrowing.  The snow ploughs were out all day everyday and being no where else to put the snow it was banked up either side of the roads and you were literally driving through tunnels. Road signs were buried in drifts of snow and trees were falling because of the sheer weight of snow on the branches. The frozen snow and ice on the trees gave them all an appearance of giant chandeliers under the street lamps.  I could go on. but I would love you all to witness such a sight one day.it was truly magical.

Oh My.. it does sound magical. I really would like to witness this... just once.. my grandparents (and parents) have told me similar tales. My grandparents remember it more as they are farmers and it was blooming hard for them..

If the Icon 18z plays out, that’s all snow for our region

Wow that’s awesome mate, nice work!!

not sure why my dp is so off, don’t know what’s going on there. Important as well in these setups. 

My wind speeds are screwy as well as too many houses near me. Performs better in northerly winds though.

Heavy rain shower here at the moment. Looks like snow up in Princetown

The DWD ICON is actually a useful model. I use it in the Summer when thunderstorm events are within a 12 to 48 hours period - brownie points from me! I haven't used it for anything further ahead than that though.

In a bizarre twist there seems to be showers peeping up over the welsh mountains. :crazy: Not breaking it’s making

Not a bad shout. The moors forecast has updated to say mostly sleet and snow on Monday so the theory is correct.
