Getting very heavy at the moment, winds making the snow blow around. Watching the lamppost snow is falling flat at 180 degrees.

Temperature 0.6 C

Dewpoint -0.4 C

It seems we can never underestimate the power and warmth of the channel. This is the reason for the snow turning to rain along the Hampshire coasts, including the IOW. I really thought that the cold block would hold out, but like everything in weather, I missed the one crucial thing... a Southerly wind! :acute:

But now, another interesting development here, the wind has just switched around to the E and they temperature is on a nose dive! Was 1.8c now 1c... Interesting!

SM

This is a great development, could see colder temperatures.

No difference along the coast in sussex.A wintry mix,about to throw in the towel as well.Stupidly warm seas ruining it yet again for us coasters.

Prospect look better later on next with no onshore wind to ruin it on the coast.Fingers crossed

If we can pick up an ESE flow later next week as is possible, you may be thankful for those warm seas

Indeed SM and come midnight, IF you have a covering by then you will most likely have a covering for the next week at least. The reason that I stress midnight as being CRUCIAL, is because from thereon in, the winds will tend to veer to the North and Northeast for several hours.

I don't think your current E wind will stay but it WILL back around in the early hours so this situation WILL still pack a surprise or two.

Here's a grab for my lovelies.

Thanks Polar bear, can you turn the green over me to pink do you think. A little bit of magic could do it! Pink is such a lovely colour when it signifies snow. LOL.

Currently light rain here and as always I follow the netweather local forecast that showed rain for me all along. Haha, I always hope they are wrong when they don't show snow for me, but good old netweather always gets it right! GRR. :D

How's it going guys? Got about 4-5 inches here with the heaviest yet to come, not that I want you to be jealous or anything :p

Nick, did no-one ever tell you it is wicked to mock the afflicted. :cray: :lol:

If the current models keep doing their stuff you could well be on the Isle of white!!!! by the 12th.

many happy returns for then

Ah that is so sweet, a ray of hope in the deep gloom of our despair. Haha. Well here's hoping because all i have, (as I really expected I would) is wind and rain. Such is life and tomorrow (or even next week) is another day.

Is nearly everyone in this thread coastal?

Probably yes because everyone who has snow is currently at the window watching it fall not daft enough to waste the pleasure looking at posts by us sad snowless peeps.

Any more snowdepth measurements out there and what are your Temperatures and Dewpoints?

MY AT is 0.3c, DP is -0.2c so becoming possibly borderline sleet before long.

However I have an approx. inch covering from the looks of it.

I don't think this airmass mixing will do too much damage to those who already have a covering.

Except your host CF, I hope you're well and I reckon you do look good in pink. :p

Hi GTL, sadly I haven't been that well but nothing a little snow wouldn't fix. More blood tests Monday. I really NEED that snow. As for pink, I hate it really and have never worn it despite being a lady, and not the Little Britain sort either. But for snow I would even wear pink! LOL Hope you are well too and DO enjoy that snow!

Edit: I forgot to say, my current temperature here in Bognor is a balmy 2.4C and showing no sign it will drop. A shame really as the small river close to me was frozen over this morning and I haven't seen that happen for 13 or 14 years. Not even last December.

Snow depth is around 1-2cm here (not prepared to go out in my slippers and measure it exactly!). Temp 0.6c, DP 0c. Snowing fairly heavily, but only small flakes.

I'm not coastal either. About 25 miles inland :acute:

I'm good and it is turning pink your way right now according to the radar if I've got my geography right.

Take care and look after yourself, CF.

A few hours of precipitation to come for many just yet.

Cheers

Well done you, pretty much the same as me so far.

The further west and south you are at the moment it does look all rain but you never know, that could still change when the Triple Point comes our way. :good:
