South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/17 onwards

[karlos1983]

I’m not holding my breathe NK.... let’s hope GP is on the money this year and we get our holy grail Scandi High ?

down to -1.4c here dp -2.8c, just no moisture ?

[chris55]

NAE/ euro 4, we need southerly corrections initially, but as the low pulls away there may be a chance of a little snow for some.

lets hope the models have this one slightly wrong and the snow ends up way south eh  

[Andy Bown]

Rather a depressing forecast on BBC a few minutes ago. Basically chilly and wet for Sunday and Monday.

 I would rather have it cold and dry to keep the frozen dusting we already have from last night.

[lettice]

Big smiles on all you willing some snow over our region.
Not looking at all any possibility of anything wintery around my area.

A pleasant day yesterday and 5c midday, dropped to 1.9c at midnight and 0.2c at 4am.
A slight frost here this morning, 0.6c now, winds moved back Westerly after a day and night of NW.
Winds are now very light 2-4mph, 1019.5 hPa.

Forecasts have strong winds here of 45-55 mph through Sunday and 45mph during the day on Monday. Not really wanting that.

Whatever the red colours on the radar last night over Dorset were, it didn't drop anything to the ground here.  Currently -0.1°C, calm and the sun's up.

Is it time to throw the towel in yet?

Done.

[khodds]

Yep. My towel is thrown, and I’m having a paddy.

Luckily it is only Dec 9th and compared to the last few years we aren’t staring down the barrel of zonal garbage! We will have our time fellow south westerners!! We will have our time!!

my lowest temp of winter overnight of -1.5c

Still hope here have 5 hours of light snow forecast for Monday morning. But fully expecting that to downgrade by this afternoon or the next time I check the app.

My outside thermometer read -5 C when I left for work at 6.30 am. With no wind it didnt feel anywhere as cold as recently. Now an absolutely beautiful morning

In Villa Rica, about 40 Miles west of Atlanta GA, where my folks have a house, they’ve had 6 inches of snow yesterday when they were due 2 inches, it is still snowing and expected to snow for much of Saturday. I can only imagine what it will look like when then wake up. Snow is a very rare event that far south and this is the most significant snow since 1999 there.

Almost as rare as snow around here

Positively tropical here last night, I had to get up and open a window.  In fact I'm going to start an Air BnB as some friends of mine in the Caribbean want to go on holiday to somewhere warm for Christmas!

Good morning all  eautiful morning, 

temp 0.2C 

dewpoint -2.3 

pressure 1081 and falling 

wind direction just changed to SW and speed 0.7 mph . 

Loving the sunshine and enjoying a hot cup of coffee. 

Gong to make family Christmas cards and gifts today . Well that the plan. 

Slowly recovering from pneumonia so steady  as she goes but I'm getting there ! 

Being ill sharpens your appreciation for things ,Ike waking to see to the sun etc. 

I shall also lurk in the model discussion thread and see what fun is in store for us .  

If the met o is right then tomorrow is a hold on to your hat day ? The cat and I shall be wrapped up warm I reckon watching the excitement from the patio window. .

Monday interest remains. Could see a few hours of falling snow which would be nice.

[A.J]

i'm seeking sanctuary in here today....the mindless IMBYism and over analysis in the MAD thread of the north/south snowline movement of 35 inches per run is starting to do my swede in 

[MrNooo]

-3 here this morn, stunning lovely crisp morning!!! I reckon Sunday will get shunted South more yet and we maybe in for a surprise, am hopeful here to see a bit anyway but it maybe rain, cold rain at that, a day in the workshop beckons me thinks!

 

[Mapantz]

Down to -1.1°C around 8am. Currently a mild 0.4°C

Yes.... it’s quite demoralising, I fear it will only get worse before it gets better AJ. Sigh....

 Come south !!!!! Ha

Im pretty far north in the region on the western edge of the mid coltswolds, Stroud.

so any adjustments south may well bring us up here slightly more chance of a covering.
