sparkeh Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 School open again after two snow days. Started snowing again overnight and more forecast :/
tech_guy Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Back in today, can't complain as I've had two and a half days off doing diy
Andrew_C Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Flurries here this morning. Reports on radio of road closures again in N Dorset.
bushby Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 first day back in for me but not for the school. was snowed in on my farm
localzuk Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 We've had a pile of snow overnight in Somerset, but none whatsoever in Minehead. We're like a little haven for the grumps of the world who hate snow. Local upper school is closed though, for some reason.

Looking at Sky News this morning on the iPad, Somerset is due a "snow bomb" today - 5-10cm of snow fall within a few hours.

Yeah, my boss who drives in from up Burnham way down here, and had to come through Taunton as the Bridgewater - Williton road is in a very bad condition. The Taunton - Minehead road is passable but with care.

Guest Guest Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 It's not fair. By the sounds of it we are the only place which hasn't seen much snow. We live in a massive valley so while the people on the hills of the North York Moors, Durham and Newcastle have had over a foot we have had 3 inches at most before it has melted I want a snow day!!!!!
X-13 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Flurries here this morning. I misread that as "Furries" for some reason...
Rawns Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I'm amazed at the thickness of the snow here. I asked a snowman for the time and he just stared blankly at me... Edited January 23, 2013 by Rawns

john Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Were predicted a small deluge of the white stuff tonight so will see what pops up over night tonight and if I get a call to say snow day
6Foot2 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Yesterday we had a weather warning for snow [2 - 5 cm] for Friday evening. While that warning is still in force it doesn't seem to be supported by the televised forecasts: They are warning of high winds and heavy rain in our area. Not sure what to expect tomorrow.
CAM Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Never draw weather data from one source. I've been getting very accurate short-term forecasts from comparing three different sources (Met Office, Metcheck, NOAA via Netweather) and at least one of them usually disagrees with the other two. Met Office actually seems the most general and unreliable! Netweather's rainfall radar is also very good at predicting incoming snow if it is cold enough to know it will fall as snow. Nearer 0C you are taking a gamble.
Earthling Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Not sure what to expect tomorrow. The Unexpected, of course. 1
nyiss Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The message has just gone up that should it snow parents can collect their kids early. Fingers crossed for an early dart for the staff too but it seems unlikely. The snow gods have already given us one snow day it seems were aren't lucky enough for two!
Popular Post localzuk Posted January 25, 2013 Popular Post Posted January 25, 2013 Some of our staff claimed not to be able to get in, due to snow and ice in their village. So, rather than let them be the townies they are, they sent the site manager in a 4x4 and collected them. They hadn't even tried to clear the ice or snow from their drive. The main road into the village was blocked, but a secondary road was fine... 5

LosOjos Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The Unexpected, of course. or the Spanish Inquisition? Actually, nobody... forget it.

Gatt Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 or the Spanish Inquisition? Actually, nobody... forget it. Isn't it more that people dont suspect them than expecting them?

Gaz Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Well I drive this to work, so I've not got much of an excuse for not turning up when it snows. http://10100111001.co.uk/vault/files/snow_landy.jpg
