Winter 2024/25 - Cold or Mild? Rain or Snow?

[CaptainRAVE]

Even the treated road here is about to disappear.

What do you think to further in the week still some days with potential?

Interestingly the ICON model wasn't far off with its snow positioning, and seems to think the south will get a fair bit over Wednesday so we'll see.

I can see the main road from work looking abit dicky like.

Constant snow / sleet coming down for hours now.

 

[darael]

It's almost snowing here, but to be honest it's sleet. The precious few mm of snow that has managed to settle will probably be washed away by the rain by the time I wake up.

I call this Summertime Shambles

A beachball blows across the sand
Tops the waves and waves its hand
"Haha" I think, "the wind has won!"
"Dad, we'll need another one"

e: 60 kmh south westerly gusts but also 24 degrees is a tricky pancake.

We've had about 11 minutes of snow, and now it's raining.

It seems I’ve got allot of explaining to do to the kids. I told them we were due a good amount of snow overnight but they’ll need to play out early before it goes. Hopefully they sleep in so the blame can be on them

 

[bingham67]

Lots of rain now and temps have gone up the dusting isn't lasting long.

 

[arknor]

Been snowing here all night slowly, looks like a an inch or two

 

[bingham67]

Roads were actually worse then I thought they was going to be driving home, a case of the grit washed away I'm guessing.

Dodgy on the old roundabouts, one of them snow days it hard to judge what speed you can go as some bits are worse then others.

It's definitely on the melting phase though, I'm back in Hertfordshire doesn't seem to have been hit as bad as Bedfordshire it's usually the other way around.

 

[200sols]

13c here now, no snow

 

[labbby]

light dusting but starting to melt already, still 1c.

 

[Rroff]

Arpege has quite a significant snow event for the south over the 8th and 9th, it has more often than not been correct, but aside from the ICON most of the other models have the relevant weather system much further into France instead.

 

[JamesH85]

2 inches of snow here, and still snowing.

 

[Mark1989]

Snow here but looks like it’s raining now (Bradford) so won’t last long though it covers up how crap city looks so snow has its benefit here ha

 

[Yulaw]

North east early morning.

Snow gauge.

 

[HoneyBadger]

2 inches of snow here, and still snowing.

Same here in East York.

Does it say if they were suitably equipped. The amount that head up places like that on trainers is ridiculous.
I used to love some ice and snow hiking years ago. Bit you shouldn't be up there without axes and crampons and know how to self arrest.

Snowing lots here in Manchester.

No it does not. We were fully winterised with crampons and axes but as you say many are not. Winter kills at all levels and preparation is key. Sharp Edge was not the scariest part of get day for me, it was walking a compass bearing across the Blencathra plateau in zero visibility to arrive at the exit ridge. Just snow and snow.filled sky without a horizon.

It has snowed in Nantwich but is currently thawing.

 

[JamesH85]

up to about 4 inches now!

 

[Dis86]

Thawing here.
