  1. BIGDOG2 just woke up to some heavy snow that had fallen here in Frome I’d say a good inch had fallen, although it does look like it’s starting to melt quite quickly Probably was a little bit deeper when it first fell, and I’m guessing that would’ve been around 3 to 4 o’clock a nice wrap around looking at the radar
  2. I was at Downton yesterday. There was the most incredible downpour. It was heavy when I left Downton and as I drove up and over the A360 from Salisbury and then on the road past Stonehenge to shrewton there was some heavy blobs of snow mixed in with rain and sleet
  3. Absolutely hammering it down here while me up rain coming in had to close window even though was only open a smidgen but wind very gust and blowing the rain in Must be min 25mm from this
  4. I was just looking at charts and I used the slider at the bottom to progress the charts in almost like an animation. Then I slid it back to the beginning again and ran it through sliding my finger. what I found astonishing is you can actually see the effect of the warmer ocean temperatures that have been around and you can notice how fast any cold incursions not just near the UK but even off the eastern seaboard of America and down from the Western coast of Greenland, the cold shots that come down there everything that’s coming into the Atlantic from either there or from Iceland direction or cold that comes down Ireland to the western coast of United Kingdom even a brief Easterley all the cold incursions just evaporate so quickly when moving the animation you can see it’s quite incredible . just give it a go and you’ll see what I mean, and this has been part of the issue this winter with such strong anomalies in subtropical region such strength down here and weaker heights and a disrupted arctic has all put pay so far to any real cold and longevity. I just found it fascinating and white to share it as I couldn’t believe how quick each cold blast just evaporates as soon as it hits over the Atlantic right the way from eastern US over to us .
  5. Dorsetbred i was having this very conversation with my son this morning. If after 1-2 weeks hot weather they have bans then something seriously wrong…
  6. Rainfall totals from this look much less than the 40mm forecast so reduced risk of flooding thank goodness. This was Frome recently during one bout of flooding. RPReplay_Final1704442641.mov
  7. AWD ah yes you are correct my mistake . Thanks for flagging up. 4deg cooler for here so more like it although still mild for time of year.
  8. interesting develop development to our west not sure if there’s any circular rotation in that at the moment but looks more than a shower. Could be a couple of hours worth of rain out of this as it’s slow moving to add to the already waterlogged ground due to the weeks of rainfall. There is even a thunderstorm alert out for here, although I doubt that will come to fruition Just to answer my last post it does actually look like this area of rain is the bottom end of a weakening filling low pressure system to our north
  9. Dorsetbred completely agree with you. I have actually stated in the model thread on numerous occasions that despite all the super computers, it’s just going to be so much more difficult than it was before with so many new changes happening most likely because of CC. And as you said, as well that none of these changes were picked up on this winter, when all the forecast and ensembles painted a different picture to what has actually been the outcome. Telekinetics, can’t be relied upon, neither can many of the forecasts that are put out there. an extremely difficult area for these people to work in with forecasts with so many changes afoot. what I have noticed, seems to have been much milder and wetter winters. I remember some winters, when I was younger that if we didn’t get snow, sometimes we’d have long settled periods of extremely cold weather by day from high-pressure systems that had migrated down from the north or east to sit right over us, and of course, I remember some pretty snowy times as well. Since 2007. I do remember quite a few snowy periods on several occassions but something definitely seems much different More so recently. So seems to me like the winters are definitely milder and far wetter for long periods of time, and the summers seem to have far fewer thunderstorms, but also I’ll be becoming quite hot and for longer periods of time with more extreme temperatures. The sea temperatures in North Atlantic have also been several degrees above where they normally would be. I’m not sure if anyone else follows this, but I often follow the cold plunges that come down the eastern side of Canada, and I remember times when this called polar maritime air mass, could make it right across the Atlantic and onto our shores. And I also remember the cold plunges coming down the eastern seaboard of Canada would go quite far south down the east coast of the United States, but this winter. A lot of the cold air really does disappear quite quickly when it turns that corner to start head into the mid atlantic.
  10. Andy Bown thanks Andy . I can imagine it was after that deluge looks like a lot more to come this week as well looking at all the low slow circulating low pressures due
  11. Andy Bown not surprising at all we had a right damage around our areas, didn’t we? as Mr P said earlier, I was very surprised as well due to high-pressure not being that far away. I think they must’ve been a squeeze between the low and high, forcing up more moisture moisture laden skies for sure.
  12. My last posts were saying how much rain we had had, but I was awoken in the night by even heavier rain I couldn’t believe it. It was literally torrential. Thought it was heavy enough earlier on from daylight hours into the evening. Up to midnight. but look at the radar from in the middle all the night when I was woken by the rain
