Snow in March 2018??

[BrieAndChilli]

Looking at Metchecks long range forecast and they have snow in South Wales for 3 days around the 8th march.
Anyone got any better data, is that likely as can’t find any other long range forecasts.

How the heck can they predict that far ahead ?

I don't know anything about weather forecasting but I used to live in Wales as a child and distinctly remember being snowed in one Easter with several inches.

Its not that unusual to have snow in March. However i cannot see how accurate the forecast can be 3 months down the line.

My daughter will be 17 at the beginning of March and we have had snow for at least 14 of her birthdays so I can believe it.

I read somewhere it is more common to have snow at Easter than at Christmas

I realise forecast will change but I might stock up on skiwear on the jan sales as kids stuff too small just in case! It’s showing heavy snow spread out over a few days. Will also make sure supplies are stocked up.
Of it does snow o can be all smug and if it doesn’t then I’ll just pretend this thread never happened!

Well according to the weather forecast it's snowing heavily here right now and has been the the last hour or so. It's not.

So if they can't predict the weather for right now I'm not sure how well they can predict for March! It's not unusual tho and I hope you get snow if you want it

We don’t yet know whether it’s going to be mild or cold over Christmas week. I wouldn’t worry about March.

Well, they got that about right! (Luck or judgment?) Did you buy the ski gear?
