A few wisps of snow just now. The sun's out so it didn't last long. Woke up to about a cm's worth. Still enough to have to go out and clear the car off a bit.

I'd love to see some proper snow falling not that pellet stuff or wet flakes. We had loads of hail stones but we had some of that fine kind of pellet like snow too last night. It was properly snowing for a couple of minutes before it turned into the slushy stuff last night too. 


I note that winter is over again on the model threadPosted Image

 

 

how can it be over before it begins lol.

Well we only had one shower of hail but it rained to 10pm and then it pretty much snowed till the morning after that. We actually had snow like but it didn't stick. It got to 0.6c so it was near.

Maybe some tomorrow night. Depends.

100 DAYS OF HEAVY SNOW: Britain now facing worst winter in SIXTY YEARS warn forecasters
Posted ImageLONG-RANGE weather forecasters have warned that Britain should prepare for heavy and persistent snow for up to THREE MONTHS with winter 2013 set to be the worst in more than 60 years. The latest detailed forecasts for winter 2013 ALL point towards months of relentless extreme cold with heavy snow ‘extremely likely’ across the country. Arctic air will roar in from the North Pole later this week, triggering the start of the worst winter in many people’s lifetimes. Experts in long-range weather forecasting said the WHOLE of Britain should be prepared for this winter to be the most severe since 1947, which saw the UK hit by relentless snow and some of the lowest temperatures on record. February 1947 was the coldest in history with heavy snow the following month leading to seven-metre high drifts. Flooding was also a problem as rain ran off frozen ground in torrents leading to widespread chaos on the roads. As the Daily Express reported at the time, roads and railways across Britain were blocked by huge Arctic blizzards. Coal supplies – already low in the wake of WWII – struggled to get reach power stations and many were forced to shut down, causing widespread blackouts. The lack of power supplies became so critical that at one point radio and TV broadcasts were suspended, magazines were ordered to stop being published and many newspapers were forced to cut their size. And the latest long-range predictions for this winter show a pattern that look eerily similar to that infamous year, with bitter Arctic gales leading to feet-deep snow drifts right up until February. Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services, said: “Early indications are that this winter is looking particularly severe, and we could see parallels with the shocking winter of 1947.
