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

The Patcham part of BN1 is also coming down pretty heavily, and settling well, despite earlier melting off as it fell.

Snowing well seems that the ground temps are just above freezing so melting on impact

Sun coming out now to put an end to all this wasted speculation.

RH20 was a white hell for around 30 minutes but it has practically stopped now, sitting on trees & shrubs but everywhere else has melted.

I just don't know how the country copes with these hellish snow storms.

 

[Weststander]

In Withdean, we've ended up with 1" on settled snow across our garden. Air temp -0.1C and falling.

Looks very Christmasy.

Quite.

WAY beyond pathetic

Snowing in Crickhowell. Had about an inch on the car this morning, 0’C but only settling on the mountains.

That wind is bitter!

It is just a practical thing in that it only takes one or two hopeless drivers driving on 1cm of snow (obviously on normal summer tyres), to crash or for lorries to jacknife, for roads to be blocked? Leaving loads of innocent drivers stuck in completely avoidable jams for countless hours, in freezing conditions, perhaps with low fuel etc. We might be confident of driving anywhere in this, but more accidents do occur.

I'm as much against the Nanny State and the H&S obsession as any one, but on this I can the need to forewarn.

Good tidings to you @Lamie. Here's my joint favourite Xmas carol to put us in the spirit.

Probably more risk to life of people running with scissors in their hands in the next 24 hours tho eh?

Is that it for us or are we expected to get anymore overnight

Looks like it snows overnight until the early hours.

Half way to Manchester. Clear roads, sun is out and a balmy 1.5 degrees.

Arrived into Piccadilly and bright sunshine. Short cab ride to Salford Quays and then looking out of hotel room 5th floor window.

“What’s that?l”

“Fog”

“No it’s snow and I think it’s coming this way”

30 seconds later a solid 3 flumpage sets in.

I think the Amber warning starts at 4pm.
