  1. More overnight rain...more flooding. Enough already. Don’t care about snow...wouldn’t bloody settle anyway, unless it’s magic snow which can miraculously settle on top of flood water!
  2. Funny how they never shift south when it’s a predicted rain fest innit!
  3. Sorry I couldn’t answer that one but it was insane here. Think we ended up with 42cm here...and that’s at 80m above sea level...heaviest snow I saw since the winter of 1981/82.
  4. I’m not taking it toooo seriously...it is after all only one run, but if the picture is the same 3 days from now... As for the red warning, when we had the huge dumping in March 2013 (which exceeded 40cm) we *only* had an amber warning in place.
  5. Bit marginal to say the least but precipitation that heavy and with light winds I could imagine evaporative cooling would come into play.
  6. North Wales projected to have huge snowfalls. South Wales looks wet...again. Either way doesn’t look good. This is what I’m looking at...if anything like this came off it would cause complete chaos..
  7. I’m looking more at Friday night which if it came off as GFS 06z shows would cause absolute chaos!
  8. I realise it’s only one run from one model, but GFS 06z shows phenomenal snow amounts in parts of Wales at the back end of the week. Normally that would be something to hope for and look forward to but given the amount of flooding already in place, any lying snow will just exacerbate existing issues when it melts.
  9. Never mind the snow...look at the rain over the areas that don’t need or want it... people in those places will be tearing their hair out.
  10. I might be completely wrong here so am happy to be corrected, but orographic rainfall has being ongoing all day to the west of me, that air is drying out as it’s descending on the leeward side and picking up speed as it descends. Trading rain for wind. The one good thing is that the wind is helping dry things out very quickly.
  11. Same thing happening in North Wales, thoroughly wet over the North West...complete contrast to the east..glimpses of sunshine with odd bits of wind blown drizzle.
  12. As is happening over the Pennines, a very pronounced rain shadow, with a very wet North West Wales contrasting with a windy but dry North East of Wales with glimpses of sunshine now and then.
  13. How is it you have no wind? You’re 24 miles to the N/NE of me but I have pretty strong gusts of winds coming through my part of the world. The rain part I can understand as where I live is often in a pronounced rain shadow.
  14. Meh...what a waste that would be, given that so many areas are flooded..or at best waterlogged.
  15. In the rain shadow of the Welsh mountains today, therefore thankfully very little rain has fallen here today...bits and pieces intermittently whereas just a few miles west of me I’ve been informed that there has been hours of steady moderate rain.
  16. I didn’t think 2013/14 could ever be beaten for poorest winter ever experienced but winter 2019/20 has achieved it. No lying snow, few frosts and FAR too much rain. Wretched.
  17. Apparently Shrewsbury town centre is practically an island at the minute. Even more rain on the Welsh hills in the coming few days is just going to exacerbated issues in those prone areas along the Wye, and the Severn to name just two. Unfortunately this will be another winter that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
  18. Those precipitation forecasts look very worrying but it’s impossible to ignore the rain shadows east of the Welsh mountains and east of the Pennines.
  19. Reasonably confident that single strike was a positive one. Very loud rumble which went on and on and on. Reports locally from areas 7-8 miles miles apart of the loud rumble. Was accomplished by heavy hail.
  20. After all the rain and flooding I doubt anyone will care now.
  21. Good covering of snow on the North Wales hills. Horseshoe Pass near Llangollen closed for the first time this season. That in itself a shocking indictment of how poor a winter it’s been.
  22. That Wednesday forecast warrants a gif of Manuel from Fawlty Towers saying Que?
  23. Not sure which was more surprising...seeing the heavy rain turning to snow, or that the winds almost completely dropped out. Pretty sure that evaporative cooling is more likely when winds are light and that was the reason snow fell at lower levels than was forecast.
  24. If I can get snow at 79m above sea level you guys east of me who live at modest height have a good chance.
