What a great January day. After a white start on all flat surfaces, roads, paths and cars, the sun is doing it's best to warm things up (slowly). Wall to wall blue (some cloud activity out over the channel), these days are really great after the doom and gloom days of recent. Luv it..

OK KArlos, your challenge for the weekend, by Monday. We need an app that people can run (IOS & Android) for synchronised breathing. It just needs to include, "Breath In", "Breath Out", "Stop" "Carry on as normal"

That way we get the whole WC community to inhale & exhale in unison.

I've moved nearer to Lytchett Matravers now, so a bit of elevation. Must update my profile actually. 

But my weather station is at work in hamworthy, so will be different i'd imagine

<<<<<<<<<  Check me out then   feet sounds so much better lol

You don't need a 4wd for a couple of inches of snow surely 4 studded tires are just as effective and cheaper unless you get 3 feet of snow?

Indeed.....but I chose not to let that nugget slip 

Anyway still holding out for 3 foot of snow.

Now there's a sign it's a bad winter, when you have to go outside with a telescope looking for snowflakes

Well going on one of Ian's tweets earlier if the SW does get snow, Swindon looks like a good place to be - let's hope so.

[Stormyking]

Absolute stunning day today bright sunshine, crisp, cold and calm, we had 2 light snow showers this Morning, very light though, came from these weord big brown type cumulus/stratoucumulus, which had developed over the solent! Was an icy Morning too, there have been a few crashes aswell :/

It's a fluid situation here as always seems to be the case for the southwest, or do i mean Liquid ......

[festivalking]

So then, snow chances in the south west Monday. Impossible to tie down where the snow line will be,  if there is any when it turns to rain etc etc Every model run will be different. If your hair hasn't turned grey or fallen out it soon will!

Place your bets now.... rain or snow?

My waters tell me that it will be a rain event except maybe the north east of region like Cotswolds which maybe on edge of snow to rain event?

Based on todays model I'm plumping for rain westwards from Bristol to Poole (Snow above 400 metres0 This will change everytime the models come out mind!!
