Title: Possible snow: Central Southern England/Wales
Post by: Nickbat on 19 January 2010, 22:17:14
I know it doesn't seem that cold at the moment, but there is apparently an outside chance that the rain coming in from the West tonight could turn to snow.

I want to see a repeat of 2 weeks ago, the roads were nice & clear and I could park anywhere thanks to the snow blocking out road markings/parking restriction signs.

Yup, had the same here in the Shot.

Definately snow as it was falling, but the ground just wasn't cold enough to keep it in that state.

Well, I'm in between in Fleet and it's falling as slushy stuff that turns into water instantly on contact with the ground. Hardly severe weather at the moment...

It may not be raining but is there any oxygen in the atmosphere?
(Vegetables of course need Carbon Dioxide not Oxygen to survive) :D

Speak for yourself!  The car thermometer said 3.0oC when I went out a couple of hours ago, but there was a bit of a breeze and it felt a hell of lot colder than that.  But at least we haven't got any rain or snow over this way :)

Oi! That's where my Mum and Dad used to live!  It's very nice round there. 

They used to keep The Queen's Head pub on the A308.  It was right next to a farm - I'll remember the name soon.  And now I come to think of it, it did pong a bit a certain times of the year.

It's only a mile from Bray, so the other explanation for the smell could be Heston Blumenthal's chemistry cooking :)
