Interesting here too. Wasn't particularly cold last night but light snow was falling before dawn. Temp around 2°. We had heavier settling snow for awhile then back to light sleet. The last 30 mins have been large flakes albeit with a bit of rain mixed in yet the forecasts and the radar are all saying rain. Currently 2.3 from a high of 2.6. It gives me hope that the it can snow even if everything appears to be saying the opposite.

Well, so much for a cold snap it was more like monsoon season around here yesterday. We had a shower that developed yesterday afternoon and just didn't move, there's a video of the rivers of water that closed the roads in a village near me yesterday on the Wessex FM website. www.wessexfm.com/news/dorset-news/2786340/flooding-in-portesham/

Well what a fab day. Heavy snow from 6ish, first sledging by nine, second sledging by 1pm. Nice roastie followed by a couple of pints and to finish off it's started snowing again. It's just a shame it only happens every 9 or 10 years, by my reckoning I've only got another couple of shots at this before I'm too decrepit!!

I was very nervous when I looked at the radar at 5am to see the snow was just to my right and looked like it was going to miss me. Fortunately it is pepping up nicely in the Channel and it is snowing quite hard here now. Hope everyone else gets some too. Off for my first walk of no doubt many today. Just waiting for the fields to go white so I can go sledging. Fortunately there won't be any hidden frozen molehills like there were the last time, by god they hurt!

Met Office loses BBC contract
microclimate replied to richie3846's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Is anyone else noticing that the Met and the Beeb forecasts are widely different? As a trader who relies on accurate forecasting I don't know who I should be trusting. My instinct is the met but I have to say Meteo called the cold spell more accurately for my area. Has anyone done any analysis/comparisons?
