Dos_Box Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I note that we here in Preston are to get a heavy dump of snow over the next 24 hours or so (building up overnight from sleet this afternoon). I'm quite a fan of a decent winter and haven't been dissapointed this year with it barely getting above freezing for the past few weeks and the ground is nice and hard. This has also given us some very nice clear starry nights where I can get my telescope out in the back garden without it being squelchy! We rarely get snow here and as we've already had a couple of light coatings so far and am quite looking forwards to a scruncy snow walk tomorrow Anyone else had any snow fun yet this winter?
hardtailstar Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 No snow in my part of Kent but traveling to a Hospital appointment today over the border in Sussex there was snow on fields. I want snow! Not that I can really play in it this year!
elsiegee40 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 None here. There was some just up the road in Sevenoaks allegedly
mikeprice Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) everything was frosty here this morning with a light scattering of very small snow flakes on top and when I was riding home on my bike at about 10 a.m. there was a very light snow shower must get my crampons out!!! p.s. Merseyrail have said the don't expect to 'be able to run a service' tomorrow so potentially 7 or 8 more snow flakes expected overnight! Edited January 7, 2021 by mikeprice
Dos_Box Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 We have at least 5 hours of heavy snow forecast from the early hours followed by several hours of light snow into the afternoo. I can't wait As I said, snow is uncommon here and it's nice to be thought of for once!
XiJ Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 We have a full night from any time. Is building to 80% change at midnight and hovering around that than 90-100% between 9am and 1pm tomorrow. Wife is on nights so maybe staying at work! If it does happen, I have a feeling there won’t be much home schooling done tomorrow.
mikeprice Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I scuppered all chance of any snow round here 2 years ago I bought a sledge - for the grandkids to use - clearly!!!
XiJ Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Huh. Still no sign of it yet. It’s forecast for later in the night now and tomorrow.
free780 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Go some here in Leeds though the grounds quite wet so it probably won't settle. Part of me hopes it doesn't as people will mix more.
mikeprice Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Got up this morning expecting at least somefrost and stuff not a thing actually looks far warmer than yesterday - not even ice on car windows!!! Met Office has changed the forecast to light snow in an hour or so and that's all
djm968 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Light dusting in my part of South Essex this morning but nothing as I travelled north.
HTCPCP Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 We have a Yellow warning in place - and surrounding towns have had snow - yet for us we seem to have a microclimate that stops snow. Used to see it on the train into London that about 4 or 5 miles further down the line you would see snow (if the trains were even running...)
LeMarchand Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 We have a Yellow warning in place Is it the one that goes, "Never eat yellow snow"? 1
Dos_Box Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 Well, I'm bitterly dissapointed. Not a single flake here
Ditto Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Light dusting reported on the North Downs yesterday from a fellow mountain biker. Can't get out myself to check due to mild cold/chestiness (no covid symptoms fortunately).
mikeprice Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Met Office have been delaying the promised snow hour by hour they have now withdrawn it totally still feels damn cold!!
stevejp Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Met Office have been delaying the promised snow hour by hour they have now withdrawn it totally still feels damn cold!! Met Office is my go to weather app, but they really seem to have lost the plot recently - they got the one last week completely wrong ( the forecast was stubbornly clear, even when it had been actually coming down for hours) and they went the other way today - forecast loads for both home and work all through they day, when all we got was a light dusting at around 4am and a bit of sleet this morning. Accuweather and the BBC both much more accurate recently, which makes a change.
robyholmes Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 It's come down pretty thick here in North Yorkshire, something just had to be done about it. Yes, I do have trains in the garden...... and I'm a big kid. 1
3s-gtech Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Fair bit of snowfall here in Mid Wales today, but nothing settled below 1000ft. Above that, it’s pretty blanketed and the roads are fun! Was interesting trying to run in [emoji52]
XiJ Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I demand a refund. Now snow at all here and none forecast.
mikeprice Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Lots of white stuff here unfortunately it is fog not snow
jmak Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 It’s 37c here. [emoji41] @witch There's someone else needing your attentions. Not sure what your preferred type of Australian amphibian is... 2
3s-gtech Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 It’s 37c here. [emoji41] Don’t gloat about that. The whole country seems to want to catch fire during summer in recent years!
