[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

[highway61]

I was up in Braemar only 4 weeks ago doing the Tourist bit with Mrs Jakarta before an offshore trip and we noticed how the temperature was hovering around freezing and that there was already snow on the hilltops when back in Sunny Aberdeen where we were staying (only 50 or so miles away) it was quite mild - obviously the Highlands have their own microclimate?

I lived in Aberdeenshire for a year in 1989, a few miles outside at Fyvie. I experienced pretty much what you are saying mate re temperatures

Do you reckon a thaw tomorrow will occur in time to make a journey by car c 4pm from Sevenoaks to Saltdean (appreciate major roads will be fine, but worried about untreated minor roads) a sensible option?

Ypu should have no trouble at all - main roads almost the whole way and if iffy at Saltdean end, just park safely and walk the last bit.

I drove from Tunbridge Wells to Ashford last night to collect my wife from Eurostar (had to get off because if she'd gone to London there were no trains back to this part of Kent). Came back and was forced to drive on to Godstone (pile up on motorway) then back along A25 through Oxted and Westerham. A bit slippy but not too bad. Virtually the only car on the road at 7pm. The only tricky part was getting out of our road at the start! Drive carefully and take a shovel/sand and you'll be totally fine today, so if it thaws tomorrow, should be a doddle.

Beautiful clear blue skies over Sullington - has stayed below freezing all day (around -3 Centigrade) and can't see how BBC forecast for tomorrow of +7 Centigrade can possibly happen?

 

[Peter Grummit]

Forecast for Newhaven now saying a 10 degree rise in temperature between 6pm (-7!) and 9pm (+3), followed by heavy rain later tonight as the wind swings round to the SW. Freezing fog is closing in here in Lewes. I can't believe we wont get more snow at least at first and/or some freezing rain turning to ice when it hits the very cold ground.

Definitely an eerie fog descending now. Very spooky

Beautiful sunset here in Worthing. Off to Eastbourne for work tonight. Hopefully no more snow or too cold.

Off carp fishing in the morning until Sunday in Southampton - would love the temp to rise!!! - YES we are MAD!!!

 

[vegster]

Shoreham is registering an incredible -8.4C at the moment ! but, the low pressure coming in combined with the increasing wind will mean a very fast huge melt of our precious snow..... 6C by 6 am

Think they are having a laugh there, although it is usually colder north of the Downs than on the coast in the winter and the opposite in the summer, because of the warming and cooling effects of the sea respectively...at least that was the case from memory in Storrington, and as Sullington began at the top of the road where we lived, I imagine there too!

 

[vulture]

bbc saying -6 at 12am then 9c at 6am? methcheck say snow snowers and 1c its still freezing outside??

 

[Foolg]

Anyone in and around Gatwick? Forecast says -7c up until around midnight then highs of 1c (seeing as we're flying at 6am tomorrow), with a snow shower tonight.
Doesnt look like we will be going.
