What are the chances of us getting any snow down here in Poole? Bit sick of not seeing a snow flake in a couple of years...
Same here in Bournemouth - doesn't look good for us, I think out best chance is early next week -- there's not much hope for us for today and tomorrow I'm afraid. I've lived here for 4 years, not seen a single CM covering.

I came here expecting some discussion about the models and all i see is people whinging. There wasn't any of this nonsense back in my days on Net-Weather. It's a model discussion thread, people should be discussing the models without any bias towards warm or cold in the model discussion threads - discuss facts and projections - not sure why there has to be a team hot and team cold competing when we should be simply 'reading' the charts and giving thoughts and insight.

Slowly but surely getting more and more depressed. Will Bournemouth EVER get any snow? Sick and tired of not having snow - lived here for 4 years and not seen a single CM lying on the ground. Half tempted to move back to Cheshire just to see some of the bloody elusive stuff!
-
I remember that retro Net-Weather homepage well - I've been here (although inactive in discussions in recent years) for quite a while and you've definitely done a sterling job to get NW to where it's at today.
I remember migrating here from the old BBC boards and loved every moment of being a member on here in the past.
Edit: just noticed I've been a member for 10 years - bloody hell. I was probably around 15 when I was first on Netweather. Where has the time gone?!
-
Snowing heavily now in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. It looks set to stay for the remainder of the day, I should imagine there will still be showers passing in to the evening onwards.
-
A light dusting of snow in Chester tonight, looking forward to tomorrow. Enjoy it everyone!
Chester eh? I'm in Ellesmere Port at the moment, we look set to get pasted tomorrow.
-
Almost impossible now for this to be a disaster, I should imagine the whole of the North West will see at least a dusting, most probably getting substantially more.
-
Can I ask a question please? My husband has to travel to Birmingham (Lichfield) What are his chances of getting there in the morning? asking because there is no snow at all in Stockport? and he thinks I am going a bit
thanks guysI'd imagine he will get there fine, albeit with some long delays.
-
Snow has now eased off, earlier it was alternating between periods of very light snow to moderate.
I'm very curious as to how this front is going to track, if we're lucky on the Wirral and in and around Cheshire, we will get battered by the part of the front that's over SW Ireland now.
If that part does indeed steamroll over us, I'd imagine at least 4 hours of consistent moderate - heavy snow.
-
Here is the accumulated precipitaion from NMM. Strong signal for Manchester and north Cheshire to suffer from a rain shaddow effect
What's that? How did you come to that conclusion?
-
Sorry for IMBYism here but wtf is my house doing in that crappy hole in the middle?! Pinch of salt needed I hope!!
Fear not, i'm on the edge of the hole in the yellow!
-
Aye, it could possibly clip, although I doubt it! Hope it does though mate! Thats some moving around haha! Catch you later mate just heading off home!!
Got my fingers crossed! Catch you later dude.
-
Me neither to be honest mate, generally dont come on until winter time and rarely post, but think I have the bug back as I have been checking every 5 minutes, abusing my Iphone like mad haha!!! We was up till all hours, those were the days, MSN haha! Have you moved?
Haha the days of MSN! I moved down to Essex a few years ago, then moved to Bournemouth and now living in New Milton, Hampshire. However i'm at home at the moment from Christmas and won't be going anywhere until the snow (assuming it comes) has gone haha. Currently awaiting MetOffice Rainfall Radar update, as it seems the bottom of the front to the West may clip the Wirral.
-
Jesus, Snow Fan Man, your still here? Still on the ol' class B? Lol....
Haha, hadn't been on for years and not bothered to login when i had been watching late last year. Now i'm back to checking every day like the good 'ole days! Good to see you're still here mate, i remember us being up til late quite often chasing the festering snow showers.
Hope you're doing good
-
Yes, much below - they dont get above 0 all Friday - -2C to -6C
Wow, you still around on Netweather eh, Glenn!
-
It's looking good, but i'm not getting my hopes up - it could all go tits up, which is what i come to expect for my hometown region (Cheshire) these days.
-
1mm of rain = 1cm snow.
10mm of snow = 1cm snow.
1.7 meters, I'd take that any day :lol:
Just noticed you're from Runcorn, I'm originally from Ellesmere Port and I'm here at the moment during the holidays. Great to seen local people on here.
Crossing my fingers we get a pasting!

If only...

But most importantly, should you ever been in the position of thinking a cold snap might be Coming to an end because that's how you might interpret the models, make sure you put on your suit of armour before posting anything! My experience of lurking over the years is that the 'snow junkies' who would sell their kids X-Box 360 for a flake of snow, tend to leap on anyone who dares to mention that dreaded weather related word 'r**n' or types anything about the possibilities of temperatures raising above 4 degrees celcius between the months of October and April. Still, it's often worth watching the aftermath when it's gone the way you thought and observing them turn on each other before the top addicts rush off to the fridge freezer to partially leave the door open in anticipation of the severe ice build up to take them through to the next modelled cold snap
Entertainment at its best to go along with some realistic model watching! n.b. please correct me if a snow junkies maximum temperature before they explode is 4c. It may of course not be acceptable to have anything but ice days in their world!
Moving on, snow now turning to rain yet again by the looks of things this weekend around here at some point, the timing of which is still uncertain. Not so much a cold block but more like the Atlantic losing a bit of puff this week in my opinion. A weak sleety /snow 24 hours broken into two sections followed by a few below freezing nights shouldn't be sniffed at I suppose, but you'd have been forgiven for thinking we were on the verge of something monumental by reading some of the stuff on here this past week! Oh well, better luck next time perhaps, but what was forecast on the local BBC outlook earlier was broadly what I expected. With those upper temps chopping and changing on the ECM for the forseeable, anything more substantial looks to be a bonus at this stage from the Midlands south.
My first post here for a few years, but I'm curious as to what exactly the point was in typing that utter drivel? It's a model watching thread, FYI.
Weather users posts are ramping cold weather or not, as long as the posts are informative and relatively realistic and factual in nature, what's the problem?

What happened to this section of the forum? It always used to be buzzing with people posting about the cold weather - now, threads like this, are pretty much dead.
Are the cold weather rampers hiding somewhere that i cannot access on the forum!?
-
Gief snow!
-
That precipitation to the East has been obliterated
-
Has anyone else noticed the area of light snow getting it's act together to the east of our region.
Yep, I've been keeping an eye on that for a while and it's definitely heading in our direction, albeit light precipitation. I think it could stand a chance of making it to us before fizzling out.
-
The snow here is slightly melting in places that are in the sun for long periods but it's still covering pretty much everywhere - the snow actually goes well past my ankle. Hopefully we will get a topping up tomorrow and Monday (and even Tuesday). The GFS and FAX look rather tasty at the moment and I hope they stay the same, or obviously improve.
thanks guys
