South West England Cold Spell Discussion

[devon lad]

someone should ask on his blog why he doesnt post on netweather anymore!

I can only guess it's because folk only listen to him when he says what they want to hear and critizise him when it's not what they want or doesn't turn out exactly as they would like it to have been in their 'neck of the woods'. I think the Met Office and BBC have handled this event extremly well considering the complexity of the situation.

Well done guys.

light snow now..

heavy snow 10 miles away

[kerensa]

snowing heavily here now and sticking our road which was gritted now turning white

[mrchoosy]

Hmmm, that is poor/non existent snow (well, in the centre of town anyway)

That will be the fact we are in the Blackdown Hills precip shadow.

dewpoint and temp still not good according to my weather station, maybe the next wave approaching

Honiton may give us a better chance of snow later tonight.

Latest NAE has a 10 over Bristol (a 0 over Yatton though, of course) and a 4 over Cheltenham.

vopwiufigt pogipqkpgr wgopi;jp ggpof ro rjgpoq keifpoie goiqopirkfopei....... err sorry since the boiler broke and it's been freezing I have found out it is nearly impossible to type with mittens on! LOL

Still snowing here and temp is -0.5C

How much do you have up there now mate?

Sucks about the boiler... went out and got some electric heaters from B&Q for 8 quid lol... no oil tankers getting here, and a bargain!

Ditto

Thankfully temp and DP still falling so even though there is a distinct lack of ppn of any kind there is still a slim hope.

Hopefully the middle of the night event will pull of a miracle.

Well...at the moment here is very very light...maybe by end of February we will get 10 cm...! :lol: :lol:

Take a look here anyone interested,

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=-&VAR=rsum&HH=0&ARCHIV=0&ZOOM=0&PANEL=0&WMO=

NAE model data, comes straight from the MetOffice.

On those charts very roughly 1mm rain = 1cm snow.

[Nights King]

Snow has just turned quite heavy again as the ppn has intensified for round 2

[dancing daisy]

Snowing in Bridgwater! Not as loved as I thought then. :lol:

[ash swindon]

[rowieboyz]
