Snowstorms set to blanket Britiain

imo if you want an accurate weather forcast look out your window,most weather sites just try to cover themselves by forcasting almost everything 'nice and sunny with the odd snow flurry thrown in'. :D
 
They still aren't giving up on the snow:

Not forecast for Bristol it seems.

Bristol never gets any snow though :( That time last year (and the year before?) when the whole of the UK got amazing amount of snow, Bristol had none. Sigh.

i wish it would snow..

id love the snow to be 6foot deep.. that would be cool

that much snow you cant do anything.. quality

people see a few snow flakes nowadays and they think they need the army in to dig them out... hideous

our grandparents had to walk 15mile in 10foot snow just to get to work.. with no shoes...

now that is commitment
 
I hate the cold weather. i cant stand it, i really dont function properly.

i only enjoy the snow part of winter, but we dont have it so from october to may is terrible for me.

i need heat to feel fresh and energetic. maybe i belong in portugal
 
Never listen to automatic weather forecasts on the internet, they are never correct. They go by data on a weather model which is run 4 times daily i.e the forecast will change 4 times a day with no human interaction with it, so it's never correct :p

The most snow will fall around northern and eastern Scotland(as it is already), eastern england, wales and northern ireland mainly. Then there's a chance for a proper snow event in the south at the end of the week. Snow is possible more or less anywhere this week though :)

I'll keep you updated if anything develops :D
