South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards

[Frosty_wsm]

I forgot that weather front is now moving south so anything that might hit here is still way up north, no point looking out west as that's going to hit Devon & Cornwall.

Got a few flakes falling here, very light but the flakes seem a good size 

Im in Frome and havent got any?

[bellanite]

It's getting heavier! Really wasn't expecting anything 

Looking at the radar I really think more in the region may get lucky! Fingers crossed for you all

That explains it Fromey, You`re  slightly north of me and its very very slow moving, lets hope that can intensify a little more. 

 

What do you think about the main band of snow? Will it make it before splitting and fizzling out?

Never mind welsh hills breaking it up.. it’s those pesky Cotswolds for us

I saw two very tiny snowflakes just now. No sign of anything overnight. No idea what is on the hills. Radar looking rosier than actual. 

[ARTDEMOLE]

FLAKES ARE  FALLING.  

[slinky1989]

1 or 2 flakes blowing about in the wind here.

To be honest I don’t know, snows got heavier here now 

[EllyTech]

Oo, sparse, but a few more light flakes now.

Teacher's Prayer for Snow

- John Hillen

Oh Lord, let it snow.
Let it drift and let it blow.
In the morning, no real fuss,
Just enough to stop the bus.
Enough to make the county say:
"There will be no school today."
Let the radio report:  "Snow's deep!"
And I'll roll over for more sleep.
Then later on, say maybe ten,
I'll turn the radio on again.
Just in time to hear them say:
"It's strange, the snow has gone away."
And then I'll know, You made it stop.
So I can go to the mall and shop.
Please Lord, just hear my teacher's plea,
And make it snow for the kids and me.

Are we sure it’s moving east? 

Looks like a painfully slow  south moving band to me. Meanwhile I'm enjoying the crisp,clear sunshine as 2 bands slide south to the east and west of me

Looks like it’s stalled now. Playing the radar a few frames back and forth shows it sliding southwards more than it’s advancing eastwards.

 

At least to my untrained eye!

Snowing heavy In Frome

Yes heavier now  just from that light yellow precipitation on the radar imagine how the orange and red would be .....

[khodds]

Nothing here. Looks like the sun might come out in fact!

[Frosty_wsm]

There's a thin strip of precipitation heading straight for Cardiff, should make a certain member very happy lol

Radar says its snowing here in plymouth and up at home. It is not snowing!

[karlos1983]
