Getting through pages quicker then the MAD thread on here today. Something must be brewing. 

Ironic that a new page started when I clicked to post this.

Just imagine if we had a full on frontal snow band coming through the place would be in melt...er snowdown!!!

Shouldnt have said that it’ll probably disappear now.

I've got a feeling Friday could have potential for snow in our region as well. GFS high res has been hinting at this for a few days now and it's not going away.

[festivalking]

I've really got to some work peeps!!! The day before before potential snow is nightmare for concentrating!

Afternoon, here at work (near Bristol) it's been sunny all morning but beginning to cloud over from Bristol channel direction, blinking cold wind. Fingers crossed for a bit of the white stuff at home later. Forecast still says snow for Friday.

For those on my Patch (Dartmoor), at mid day it was wet snow at Princetown and the gritters have been out on the B3212.

Just had very squally Shower here, think it was sleet as could see it sheeting being blown in the wind across the fields. I live in hope.

[knocker]

Continues to be pretty wild with another moderate hail shower gusting 45mph

[ARTDEMOLE]

Broken cloud. 5.3c. Apparrent 2.2c.

I'm wondering if my Temp sensor being in the jasmine bush is affecting the Humidity & DP readings? I always seem to have high DP readings.... any experience of this campers?

[Mapantz]

Ahhhh the trusty Davis' snowflake!

[Bazray]

Been downgraded now, my single flake at 20:00 has been turned to rain. :.-(

Does your sensor get covered in rain/dampness?

probably... It is very accurate for Temps as it's never in direct sunlight. I guess being surrounded by Jasmine gives a forest effect.

Yeah. Ideally, you want it away from vegetation, but situated above grass. As long as the humidity is high, you'll not get the representative dew points.

Hey Old Bloke a fellow dartmoor poster!!! Hurrah! Are you princetown based only your info says you are over 900 metres above sea level....have you a house up at High Willays Tor

You just always know when snow is around, the pages here zoom by

Looked good in all the forecasts with light snow and sleet late evening here, but its been downgraded to one light snow and sleet shower now.
Temp did drop mid morning to 5c, but has now climbed back up with some lovely sunshine here to 6.6c

Liking that the wind speeds on the forecast have dropped a bit, they were showing 48-58mph through the night wed/thur but dropped down to 40-45mph now.
