South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards

Seems the "Mouse from Murmansk" did deliver around here, most of the fields are green as grass where all the snow has been blown off them and dumped into the roads, especially any that are 90 degrees to the wind, been out snow ploughing all morning and some drifts are 7ft+ and are too much for my tractor/plough to handle, just one road not done as would need a loader + bucket to literally dig the snow out. Anyway a few pics from the back roads around our way!! The first image should be a road under all that lot but too much snow to move.

[SilverWolf]

Got about 5 inches of snow here - as far as I can tell finding a level bit! Foot drifts everywhere in sloped garden. Snowing now, nothing melting anywhere. 

[Bristol_Robin]

So whats the latest for the next snow event today ? Not coming too much or watch this space ? 

[Mapantz]

Just been outside to clear the back door. It is so perculiar! The back of the house looks like it has been varnished. Walking through the snow is like walking on perspex - never seen anything like it. The gutters are all lagging as they're full of solid ice, shed roof looks like it has will collapse too.

Picture uploads are failing, so I'll do a gallery later.

Temp has been at -0.1°C since 6am but it has dropped to -0.2°C

[Andrew_WsM]

Just been out for a walk around the neighbourhood, seen just one car this morning but the roads are bad up here, looks great though!

Looks quite dark looking over to Cardiff, getting greedy now and hoping for more today 

[Gibby]

Quite an exceptional snow event here in Kilmersdon but not as good as 62-63. An old photo but I think you'll get the idea.

Quick video from deepest Verwood in Dorset! Freezing rain layer ?

 

Hello to another Verwoodian!!

[wormster33]

After flirting with 0 Deg.C, the temperature here is now dropping.  Now at -0.4 and dropped about 0.2 deg in the last hour.  No precipitation, no thaw yet.  Birds are having a real feast on the corn thrown out onto the ice covered snow.  Sheet black ice on the lane with gradient outside, impossible for any vehicles to traverse.

I love snow but this ice is awful. i have just spent half an hour taking the layer of ice of the snow so my daughter can get to it and build a snowman ??? 

[MP-R]

Ice pellets and slightly bigger flakes now falling.

Wow! what were the mendips like in that winter?! 

[Isleofwightsnowgal74]

Anyone looking at a radar is there sign of this forecast snow coming our way yet? 

[A.J]

looking further afield, a heads up for something similar next friday/saturday............no model consistency but the GFS has shown this possible scenario for a few runs the past 24-36 hours

[SteveB]

Flipping cold out there, lots of drifts around blocking side roads.

Current temp is -1.3c & DP of -4.1c

Proper Winters day yesterday

Max Termp -2.3c, min Temp -4.9c, average Temp -3.6c & about 4-5" of snow with easily  1-2 foot drifts

Hirlam shows PPN intensifying to are south in next 2 hours, its been quite accurate so far so lets see what happens!

[Mapantz]

Mine is too surprisingly but since yesterday morning the wind direction readings have been off. It’s been showing variations from a westerly direction instead of easterly.
