Woke up to lots of snow here, lovely surprise especially as we missed out last week Smile

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/03/2018 12:52

I saw that Fox. Silly snow!

You'll be relieved that warnings are confined to central northern scotland tomorrow here

but I'm afraid there a fair bit of rain that's going to move up tomorrow into Saturday.

Double figures by the weekend here in east Cheshire. Time to find the shorts

Ilikesweetpeas · 08/03/2018 21:17

I’d have been happy with another snow day!

gttia · 09/03/2018 20:17

Hard to believe this time last week we were snowed in and now we have no snow and I opened the windows earlier!

It's so odd isn't it Gttia, It really threw me off as to where we are in the year, I can't believe how far into March we are.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/03/2018 21:56

Look! No warnings :)

I can't remember when we last didn't have any!
Hopefully after today, things can defrost/dry out a bit.

nannynick · 10/03/2018 08:52

Heavy rain last night (Cornwall), glad it was not snow.

gttia · 10/03/2018 09:09

Yes we are due spring now, but it's very windy here and Twitter snow watch say the beast is coming back next Sunday Shock

CanIBuffalo · 10/03/2018 09:11

Derek said that the beast could be back this morning on Twitter. I'm holding off with the gardening just in case.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/03/2018 09:21

I've been looking at that, GFS does show a return to easterlies but not until mid week next week. In the mean time there is a lot of rain to come and I think we will be seeing more surface based and river based flood warnings in some places.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/03/2018 09:21

ECMWF brings in easterlies earlier than GFS.

Yep my garden already has plenty of standing water so I'm keeping an eye on that.

GloriaSmud · 10/03/2018 11:47

TheWeatherOutlook has some thoughts about this week and mentions the possibility of cold weather returning.

GloriaSmud · 10/03/2018 11:54

Metoffice Outlook is sort of undecided and goes for an outlook where just about everything could be thrown at us!

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days

UK Outlook for Wednesday 14 Mar 2018 to Friday 23 Mar 2018:
Unsettled through next week, with outbreaks of rain at times, heaviest in the west and southwest of the UK, where gales are possible too. There is a risk of snow over northern hills, but temperatures will be around normal for the time of year, with a risk of overnight frost at times in the north. The unsettled conditions will probably remain through the rest of the forecast period, with further spells of rain, interspersed with brighter and showery interludes. Snow will mainly be confined to the north of the UK, and will mainly be falling across the hills and high ground, with outbreaks of rain more likely in the south.There is a risk it could turn colder again with a greater chance of overnight frosts and perhaps wintry showers.

UK Outlook for Saturday 24 Mar 2018 to Saturday 7 Apr 2018:
There is a lot of uncertainty in this period, and the forecast may change nearer the time. It will probably be rather unsettled and rather cold with rain or showers for many, and the risk of snow at times, mainly in the north. It may then stay unsettled but become milder, with westerly or southwesterly winds. This would bring wetter conditions in the northwest and drier conditions in the southeast. Temperatures will generally be around the average for the end of March and into early April. However, there remains a chance that drier and colder conditions could still affect the UK at times.

icantdothis2017 · 10/03/2018 19:16

Oh fuck .
No not more snow .
This uncertainty of it is wrecking havoc with my anxiety

Gertrudethestag · 10/03/2018 19:29

Brrrrr metcheck are saying more snow could be a problem in early April. Hope not

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/03/2018 19:38

icantdothis, the risk is much more in the north. Fingers crossed for you that you stay clear.
