Dos_Box Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) I've attached a screen grab of the weather for Preston in the next few days. If you notice the severe weather warning at the top which seems to indicate that it will be 'custard' everywhere, when in fact it is warning of snow showers throughout most of the UK (and what constitutes 'severe' weather anyway in the Met Office's eyes? It appears that anything worse than a balmy August afternoon now gets a severe weather warning!). And below it indicates that there is to be no snow at all on Saturday and Sunday. I'd wish they'd just sort this out and actually tell us what is going to happen instead of showing all they symbols they can and hoping at least one of them will occur.

Gatt Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Lol @ Custard... That'd confuse everyone... No doubt the railway's would blame the lack of service to it being the "wrong kind of custard"
SimpleSi Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Surface Pressure charts are the only ones to trust in advance Si
CAM Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I've been tracking tomorrow's weather on Metcheck for about a week. It went down again though so it isn't fully reliable. Some models cause a VBScript error. My area has snow to the north and heavy rain to the south. We are on the edge of the yellow snow warning issued by the Met Office. I am predicting lots of ice and sleet, but the mixed weather either side means a change in a few degrees could cause a big change in conditions and dump either heavy rain or a nice flurry of snow over South London.
CHR1S Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 met check mixed with meteox for 3 hour predictions tend to be quite accurate... for 3 hours ahead anyway!
mthomas08 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 It was supposed to Rain/Snow tomorrow morning, looks like the weather decided to come a day early it's been raining and snowing here this morning.
elsiegee40 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Grotty sleety yuk outside in West Kent too. Just want to stay inside and keep warm and dry!
Dos_Box Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 Big fluffy flakes in Preston this morning. None seems to be sticking though.
krisd32 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 its sticking in Longridge and still coming down thick and fast.
Flakes Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Was snowing about 20 minutes ago in whitley bay, thankfully none of it has stuck.
X-13 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 It's snowing here. And by snow I mean cold mushy rain.
Devontechie Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 It was snowing earlier in Hastings. Not sticking thou because of all the rain we had over night!
K.C.Leblanc Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 If you notice the severe weather warning at the top which seems to indicate that it will be 'custard' everywhere, There's only one man for the job.
SteveT Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 the yellow snow warning issued by the Met Office. . ... with a warning not to eat it???? 1
Rawns Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 If you notice the severe weather warning at the top which seems to indicate that it will be 'custard' everywhere... Rest assured if that's the case, I will be there with a straw and spoon ready to save anyone who is stranded!
SteseD Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Was smushy rain in Surrey earlier... now clearing to maybe be a bright afternoon... hopefully, it will refrain from snowing again till I get home
Dos_Box Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 Well, it's really snowing now, and sticking
witch Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Has been snowing in Brighton, apparently. Sunny and chilly here
Oaktech Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 and in another part of dorset, sunny and b'stard cold, also blowing a hoolie.
Devontechie Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Has been snowing in Brighton, apparently. Sunny and chilly here yeah it was snowing in Brighton. Also in Hastings but not anymore. Just bloody cold at the moment
CAM Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I live on high ground in Surrey so it was snowing lightly when I got up and dumping big flakes by the time I got out to the car! I turned up to work with my car covered in a thick layer of snow and staff asking where the heck I live. Unfortunately work greeted me with a gloomy sleet filled sky followed by snow which didn't stick due to the water on the ground. But apparently it is still snowing heavily on the high ground which will make going home fun.
mac_shinobi Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Can't have custard without apple pie !!!
john Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I agree with the custard warnings on metcheck, we have had a few of them lately when checking the weather. Got up on Saturday morning to the roads all white around here and made good use of my investment in Snow Tyres the hills were no problem around here for them, infact used them the other day to work when the minibus decided the hill might be tricky and just stopped I kept on going and it was fine Looks like my investment in them will pay off with more potential snow this winter
