*heads off to look up word in dictionary*

Sounds like a laxative!

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 1/1/14 18z ------>]

Heavy rain and thunder here in Street. River Parrot has now burst its banks in Burrowbridge adding to flooding on the Somerset levels.

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 15/12/13 18z ------>]

A361 Closed in both directions at Burrowbridge due to flooding from the Somerset levels. This is the main road between Street and Taunton.

[Severe Atlantic Storms over the Christmas & New Year period]

When will winter arrive? Just a light dusting of snow and some crisp frosty days would be nice now.

[Possible severe Atlantic storms over the Christmas period]

When are MET office expecting to upgrade to amber warnings?

All depends on how your feed is fed. It's quite possible for a power cut to only affect you and next door is fine - depends on how many phases are knocked out. Keep an eye on http://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/internet/en/power-cuts/

We were all planning on after work drinks from lunch time on Christmas Eve... last year we cancelled it because of the snow, this year because of the wind?

Hope its not down to the sprouts!

Its still mind blowing how nature can produce something so beautiful as a snow flake.

Wind has really picked up here in Bournemouth too! Also is it me or can you feel the pressure changing? I got a headache starting to come, and my wife just said shes starting to feel heavy and tired! Can the pressure dropping do this?

A heavy Saturday night on the sauce can

No, not where the warnings are in place. Best listen to the experts as far more knowledge and data..

Thankyou.

I don't know what the temperature has been today but I've been stuck up a very high ladder pruning Wisteria, with the wind blowing and at times tipping down with sleety rain, it felt blinking cold!

If it's not going to snow, or at least be dry and frosty, then I'd like to fast forward to mid April please, bored with being cold and wet. Roll on Summer.

I bet we will still be cold and wet come April,and May,and June,and..............

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 22/01/13 00z------------->]

After about an hour of light rain mixed with sleet the snow has now finally started to fall in Street,Somerset.

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 18/01/13 16z ------>]

Still snowing here in street and looks like plenty of showers on the way for the west country.

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 16/01/13 06z ----->]

What sort of time line if any are we expecting the snow to hit. i am working all weekend at Bristol airport and getting to and from work is first going to be a nightmare and then second it just causes chaos and disruption to flights in and out of my babber international.

[South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 15/01/13 12z---->]

I'm hoping Friday's event pans out like the one I remember in the early 80's

I was in the car with my dad going to visit my Aunt and uncle in Weston (we were living in Worle) On the way in it started to sleet, we thought nothing of it and carried on. When we got there it was still sleeting, it was only about 30mins later that my mum phoned and suggested we should come home because it was snowing heavily.

Woke up the following morning to around 30cm's of snow.

There must have been a mild element to the weather at the time for it to start of sleeting, maybe it was a slider low like the one forecasted for Friday.

I bet the charts looked dicey if we were able to look at them back then like we do now.

Could this have been the winter of 1981, i remember moving from up north to Stogursey,Somerset in October and in early December the village was cut off for about a week.

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 12th January 2013>]

Working here at Bristol airport this evening. Started with sleet showers at about 15.30 then heavy wet snow from 17.00. Eased off now,too wet to settle but atleast I've seen my first snow of the winter.

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion - January 11th 2013>]

Here in sunny Street I don't think we will see much in the way of snow next week. I would rather we had cold crisp dry frosty days just to let all the fields dry out for our local farmers.

[Southwest & Central Southern England Regional Discussion]

Squall just started here in Street, rain battering on the windows.

[Forecast For 4th Feb 2012]

Don't worry about the weather and just enjoy every second of the big day because it will fly by! good luck for the future.

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Good question. Again could be marginal, but Ian said even colder on the weekend with the chance of more heavy snow. Interesting models coming up the nest few days.

The Atlantic is going to try and attack...and if our cold pool is strong enough this can bring lots of snow for the S.

Thanks for the reply, this could be a day to keep a close eye on.

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Is sunday looking as bad as the weather we have had today?

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Heavy snow now falling again here in Street and -1C. Had maybe 3 inches so far and it looks like sunday will be another day to watch.

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Flake...Chocolate one or of the snow type...

Both!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Still think the dusting will be 5cm+

5cm+ still enough to cause major problems around here, one flake and all the schools close!

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

Still think this part of Somerset(Street) will see a light dusting but not to the amounts the BBC and others have forcast earlier today,in other words nothing to worry about.

[South West England Cold Spell Discussion]

-2C here in Street and a slight NE wind now blowing. Early snow we had around 1pm has now turned to ice on many roads and pathways are deadly! Still not confident about the amount of snow forcast for this area tonight as the low has moved further east.
