Can't promise that I'll be able to add as much as I usually do (not very well atm) so its quite likely I might miss stuff but I've added a few thoughts to that thread re the current set up and tis easier if I just keep it in one place.

nannynick that is marvellous.
i am bleating on about spanish armada style and completely forgot about twitter.

denialandpanic - I'll let you know when it reaches me. As long as it's coming from the west, should then be in Guildford area a bit later.

I think you may be safe until maybe 6pm. That's my guess, wonder if I will be right that the snow will hit us around that time.

Lareine - When people say they don't see the point in twitter... UKSnowMap is the point of twitter... real time data from real people. Just a little questionable on how reliable that data is, I think a scale of 1 to 10 is a bit big. No Snow, Snow, or Lots of Snow may be a better scale in my view.

Snowmap is showing reports of snow in Reading and Yateley area... hmm, I don't see any yet. Anyone in North Hampshire see the snow yet?

denialandpanic · 04/02/2012 16:15

I'm still confused about what happens into next week, there's no warnings but its not going to warn up that much, is all the snow going to melt tomorrow??

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 16:16

Grin Rebeccamn - that has put a huge smile on my face!

lareine - not according to baa they say it is a reduced schedule to stop it all going horribly wrong (to paraphrase a bit)

I'm in Farnham/aldershot area - nothing here yet but the sky looks ominous

PeneloPeePitstop · 04/02/2012 16:16

ohhhhh come ooooooooon!

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 16:18

nannynick - the radar shows the showers just on the outskirts of reading ahead of the main snow band.

Raining in south Hampshire SadSadSad

TheOriginalNutcracker · 04/02/2012 16:19

We have quite a bit now in Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands and it is still steadily coming down.

nannynick · 04/02/2012 16:20

Gettingalifenow - Long Sutton (near Alton) is reporting snowfall... so it's coming.

TeWihara · 04/02/2012 16:21

We have little flakes in south northants!

Settling too, but we need more

denialandpanic · 04/02/2012 16:22

I need it to slow down a bit!

nannynick · 04/02/2012 16:22

Twitter is reporting snowfall in Fleet - even my mum just tweeted that, she's near Waitrose Fleet.

pepperrabbit · 04/02/2012 16:22

snow!

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 16:23

d&p - it (at the moment) looks a bit wet for the west but mostly dry for the eastern side, so although its barely warming up, theres nothing to snow. (however gfs does show some precip mon/tues and for the eastern side also light snow showers through the rest of the week). Will do some proper looking tomorrow evening - at the moment trying to balance rest/peering at todays weather/family life.

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 16:24

nannynick · 04/02/2012 16:24

Denialandpanic - Yep alas it may be with you rather soon. Wrap up warm for the trip out and take care on the roads.

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 16:25

oh whatever :( what a bummer - tis not fair for you. Perhaps when it gets heavy it will turn to snow for you for a bit.

Hail/rain here - slush underfoot.

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 16:29

temp down to 0.7C so hopefully this should all stick for at least.
