Clear and dry here now.

GodRestYeMerryMummyLin · 16/12/2010 10:48

Very dark and grey down south in Bournemouth ,no rain or snow at the moment

hmmSleep · 16/12/2010 11:03

Light snow in Harrogate at the moment, have had heavy rain, hail, sleet and now this already this morning. School run was fun!

Now we've got drizzle/light rain here in Leeds and rather ominous looking clouds overhead. I'm really starting to get into this weather watching thanks to this thread Xmas Grin

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 11:07

manky - it means the jury is completely out!! That pesky low which has been so hard to forecast is just not playing ball. could be a pretty dry day on Saturday.

Mind you, probably better for travel and the economy if it does track much further south.
And interestingly it now shows a huge snow storm for Sunday afternoon/evening instead for most of the UK.

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 11:09

I guess, hang fire on any critical decisions for this weekend. Perhaps this evening the models will start roughly agreeing with each other again.

GeorgeWHollyBush · 16/12/2010 11:12

yes snow on Sunday not Saturday!

DH is travelling from Glasgow to I.O.W tonight! Wonder when he'll actually arrive!

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 11:12

other models still seem to be showing snow on Saturday. the JMA has loads. I'm not sure when that one updates.

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 11:13

gWB - at this stage - all i can say about this weekends weather is: "who the hell knows?"

Am always following your posts Kitten and have also started to look at the charts with interest (I look on Netweather). BBC and Met Office now say heavy snow for us at 3pm this afternoon (Cambridge area)..would you say that is right as my husband is panicing about getting home from work (had car accident in snow in January so understandably not keen to drive in snow). Thanks!

Pouring with rain as predicted here near Sittingbourne.

mankyscotslass · 16/12/2010 11:19

Just gone very dark here again.

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 11:21

futurity - it is a bit tricky. its not guaranteed but looking at the radar I would say it is quite likely to snow. There seems to be a lot of precipitation behind the cold front. My dh is being the opposite. Totally chilled out. I told him I hope he makes it home by Monday Grin

Any way, I have a 5mile walk (there and back) now. No way I'm cycling - brrrr. So, wish me luck and I'll see you all early evening. Take care everyone. Stay warm and safe.

futurity · 16/12/2010 11:22

many thanks kitten - you take care!

StarExpat · 16/12/2010 11:22

Before moving here several years ago, someone told me "the British love to talk about the weather".

I can see that, now. The thing is, I found this thread captivating!

Hail has landed here in Birmingham. Still 4 degrees though.

mankyscotslass · 16/12/2010 11:27

Take care OYSSK.

I'm off to work now too.

Deliaskis · 16/12/2010 11:31

weirdly bright and sunny here in mid-Cheshire.

Feels a bit eery though, knowing what might be on the way.

mankyscotslass · 16/12/2010 11:34

We are supposed to be going to winsford on Sunday....It's a case of wait and see no I think, if Snowmageddon does not come off!

RosieSippingGinWithSanta · 16/12/2010 11:50

Drizzly rain and not as cold in NW Herts

moid · 16/12/2010 11:55

Rain in surrey - should do some work but this is much more fun. Now addicted to www.uksnowmap.com

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 16/12/2010 12:00

Big winds here - I can see my box hedge heaving in the gusts. Cold but it doesn't feel like snow.
I'd like a snow day tomorrow.

GodRestYeMerryMummyLin · 16/12/2010 12:03

The wind is just coming here now but still no rain or anything else

GeorgeWHollyBush · 16/12/2010 12:13

Met Office have just updated their weather warnings. Saturday is not looking good down here. Bugger.
