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

how is it looking for the next few days?

Very cold. It could go down to - 8C during the nights with the snow covering and barely above freezing all day so there will very little thaw all week and we may get a bit more tomorrow and on and off during the week but the 2 snow events are over now I think. Probably getting milder from next weekend.

Sounds about right. If we do get some snow tomorrow, it won't be more than a dusting.

COULD be something on for Wednesday, but is looking too marginal for my liking.

It is the second heaviest snow event in North Southwick in the last 40 years now. 5 inches of lying snow in the back garden.

didn't we have more in 82, 87 and 10?

Not here except 2010.

Not here except 2010.

hmm.. I remember trudging through well over 6" in 87, walking up Drove Crescent.
I may well be wrong about 82 though as I was only 7 at the time, but definitely had a few inches then too.

Yes mate considerably more...this is small fry compared to then and 84 aswell.

 

[Djmiles]

Measured out the back, and we have a smidge over 5 inches here in Haywards Heath (13cm).

All in all, a decent event and looking at the daytime temperatures, it shouldn't be melting anytime soon (unless Wednesday brings us some rain/sleet).

More in 82, 87 and 10 and lasted longer . Facts

 

[Algernon]

I can remember driving along the A259 at the bottom of Roedean School fields toward Rottingdean and snow had drifted almost forming a tunnel to drive in. Must've been 82 or 87 I guess.

Still snowing hard in mountfield. Our lane appears to have really caught it compared to others around. Drove to battle and that had half our amount and its only a few miles away

 

[bluenitsuj]

Still going strong in Willingdon. 10 hours now.

Snowing lightly all day up here in Milton Keynes (why would you be interested in that)

Been very persistent but not heavy snow all day here in West Kent. Probably a couple of inches already on the ground from the last couple of days and now another three or four inches on top of that. Snow more or less stopped though and little more predicted. Roads have been well gritted but looking slippy out there. Hope that helps Jakarta.

Sounds very similar to West Sussex then - cheers! I had 3 days off work last week up in Lincolnshire (-10 degrees C at night!) due to a family funeral so can't really afford any more time off in the near future.

grow some balls......this is awesome weather. off out sledging now..............better than sex

O wish i could be a real man like you...but better than sex? lol

 

[Stoichkov]

Seems to have stopped in BN2 - that was about 8.5hrs worth. Decent accumulations although not exceptional amounts by any means. Looks pretty though!

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Been flumping since 7AM in BN22 and STILL no sign of it letting up, 2 inches of snow on low ground but its about 5 inches up in the downs.

All schools in the Eastbourne area are almost certain to be shut, no sign of any gritters on the local roads which they usually grit either.

Some serious snow
