WINTER 2018/2019 - Chat thread!

I am disappoint.

Nowhere near enough fell, roads are fine

Yep, poor showing this morning. We had the snow for a long enough period of time, just a real shame it took till 10pmish for the heavier bigger flakes to drop. By that time only snowed for about an hour more.

We had maybe 6 times as much last year when the Met office didn't really predict it for Southampton at all until after the event.

There's more snow on the back of bank cards than there is on the roads here this morning. Probs no more than 2 or 3 pathetic centimetres in my garden.

Saw Sky had their roving reporter out and about, updating the news team on the "Snow." Snow! LOL, it's what my gran would have called a skittering or a hard frost. Southerners, u godda love em.

Was watching this morning also, had a female reporter on, I was so embarrassed by her reporting. Tries to find the snowiest looking street in the town she was in, the roads behind her you could clearly see the tarmac, zero snow on them and traffic passing as a normal non snowy day, and she's there going on about heavy snow making driving very difficult here. there was probably no more than an 2cm of snow on the pavements

Just heard a similar thing on BBC radio for Northampton, as you can see it’s a whiteout here


We really are quite pathetic in this country with regard to anything weather related.

 

[Maccy]

I'm sorry?

Yah it's pretty white out here!

Didn’t get that long weekend then.

Still light snow here in Bristol, airports closed until 12 I think

 

[200sols]

Its all whipped up by the media, crazy frenzy over 3cm of snow.

 

[Randomface74]

More snow coming down now.

 

[ic1male]

There's a cold wind blowing in to my room this morning. Temps are even lower than before. (Am I the only person in the world that still has their window open in this weather? I love the fresh air even if I get frostbite.)

Saying light snow in Hertfordshire for 5-6pm on BBC was on nightshift last night it was constantly coming down but didnt really settle on the roads easy drive home in the end.

~4+ hours of white stuff falling from the sky around SO18 predicted within the hour...

I'd be surprised if we got anymore, raining in Southampton at the moment so it'll just melt anyway, especially with rush hour starting.

Not dry enough to settle.

Just noticed the rain here now, serious potential for slippy evening and tomorrow morning.

 

[DrToffnar]

Got to drive to Penzance tomorrow morning from Birmingham... Really hoping its not going to be too bad! Got some friends going this evening so they should be able to give me the heads up should it look to dodgy...

@el_dazza @Funky-Melon @UTmaniac

look out the window Southampton folk, it's coming down thick. They didn't forecast any of this today, are you sure about it not laying chaps

Most of the stuff from last night had thawed, this is about 15 minutes of snow, laying very fast considering it was wet on the ground.

Met office app now showing heavy snow here till 8pm.

 

[Fireskull]

Getting a lot heavier here in Winchester now also.....
