Metcheck and the Met Office are forecasting a cold blast next week, with quite widespread snow and frosts.
That was a short spring/summer wasn't it?
-
Next week? Like they'd know ::)
-
Hmmm this is the same Met Office/Metcheck that was forecasting heavy snow about 6 weeks ago... seen heavier frosts than the snow we did get!
I have become deeply sceptical of their mid/long range forcasting accuracy over recent years.

I rate Metcheck, they seem to be more accurate than most....

The BBC website was forcasting snow here for this coming thursday.....then yesterday they changed it to sleet.....now they have changed it again....to rain :(

There's snow/sleet here right now! Decent sized slushballs

Same here. And I need to go out sometime to put the Astra back together for work tomorrow.

Very windy here but sunny spells.
-
Its started here - very windy and forced me indoors for the day. Huge sized chunks of real snow.
Got 3 inches along the ridge at back door but the garden is DRY !!
Its starting and stopping every ten minutes but when it comes on for a decent amount of time ( forcast later today) im gonna be stuck.
Hmm is that good or bad :-/

Didn't last long. Went back to partly sunny and very windy.

Wish it would rain, my car is covered in dust >:(

That would be the correct thing to do.
However the hose is in the garage and we put all the bin bags in there until its collection day, but we tend to forget about that ::) Last time we put the bin bags out it was February and there was a pile of them 5 feet high ::)
'dangle berries' to me moving a shed load of bin bags to get the hose out!
Trouble is it will just get dusty again the next day, they are building the new Nippon Express HQ across the road (literally) and all the dust just comes over here.

Get your bin bags out you dirty little student. In years to come, when I'm visiting a theme park, and everyone is looking at their mobiles to see how long they have to wait for the next ride, I'll say "I know the guy who wrote the software for that......dirty little sod he was" ;D

Snow??
Pah, we have beautiful bright sunshine here.... oh and it is a tad windy too! ;D
Not even that cold yet....
-
its gone quiet here too - no snow - sunshine and wind has died down.
Looks like this could be a false alarm ::)

We just had another short bout not long ago. A little heavier this time. The morning could be dicey.

I went to Banbury midday, there was a short bit of sleet. Other than that, its been fine all day...
-
Not bad here just windy and cold
-
nothing here yet except for some hailstones at midday, bloody shame me omega is out of commission, great fun in the snow! :y
-
Did get a bit of sleet earlier.....but once it stopped about 6pm....i went out and washed the meega....must off looked daft to neighbours....but its my work...and dont like driving a dirty car!
-
Just come back from my mothers - down to 1 lane on the M6 south or Carlisle this morning with Omega rocking gusts of wind. :-/
Cruise set at 50! and MID had MPG swinging from 35 to 23 on a flat road due to the headwind. Snow coming in at an impossible horizontal angle. :-?
But hey its mothers day so I had to go. Coming back fine, just the usual wet & windy - well we did have sprouts ;)
-
Just thrown the dog out for his nightly waz and it is snowing slowly here in East Fife. Should make for an interesting start in the morning as the local council forget our village. Or come by with the snow plough and block my drive in. Wonderful people, oops cannot talk wife works for them.... :-[

Woke up this morning with about an inch ........ of snow on the ground here. :y :y :y
I just can't believe that this the first snow of the winter for me ....... you can't get much further North. ;D

Ross are you sure it was an inch, are is that what you tell the missus ;D ;D
-
Sun splitting the skies round my way at the moment. Slight dust of snow last night but nothing to speak of. :'(

Nothing here this morning, just really cold - heaters not working in the omega so I was appropriately wrapped up before I ventured out!

Jim, As I'm sure you are aware I/we always under-estimate when talking inches. ;)
And hold the extra back for birthdays etc. ;D

When I got up this morning, couldn't work out if we'd had a very slight dusting, or just a very hard frost...
-
Complete crap here at the minute. Moments of really heavy snow, but main issue is standing water.
-
bootifull here - not a cloud in the sky....so much for widespread and significant snowfalls accross strathclyde :(
-
Been a crackin' day on the east coast as well. Clouded over for a while late morning, briefest of very light snow, then clear sky again.
Beautiful spring evening here just now, showing that I really must clean those kitchen windows sometime.... ;D
-
Couple of hefty snow showers this evening, leaving a light dusting on the Meega. :)
