Snow watch part 6 (!) / Easter 2018

[GloriaSmud]

As Snow watch part 5 is almost full, there's a few days of milder weather forecast and we're coming up to Easter, thought now would be a good time to start a new thread.

There are signs that winter might not be finished with us yet.

The run up to Easter could be wintry…

9 degrees showing with rain here too.............north east Essex.

With rain expected this coming week, perhaps this is a useful website to keep an eye on river levels: www.gaugemap.co.uk/

I knew it. It was too good to be true!

very useful nannynick. Thanks :) Also the Environment Agency should be checked for flood warnings.

I'm having a lot of trouble loading weather maps from any of my usual sources today. Not sure what's going on. I still think there is a risk of snow on Wednesday over hilly areas in the north and Wales, but I can't get at the details to double check.

We have had a proper Spring day here. Blue sky and warm sunshine. Will the next cold spell affect the SW in terms of temperatures?

Disappointing that the snow seems to have made other plans for Easter.

I think it's a good thing at this point!

From Wednesday on we have a snow risk for northern and Welsh hilly areas.

gertrude temperatures will dip for a few days I'm afraid, but hopefully recovering next week.

Brrr i was hoping we would stay tropical

I wonder if the next cold spell will be the last until later this year?

Kitten is Manchester going to be included in this week's snow? Ta

Manchester will just be wet.

@OhYouBadBadKitten typical thank god

I want ❄️🐰❄️🍫❄️🐰❄️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️

Bemusingly my met office app has sleet for me tomorrow and snow showers first thing on Saturday morning, despite temps of 3c.

Signing in from a static caravan just outside York, where it's been rather wet overnight. I have spotted some leftover snow though, on the drive back across the Moors from Whitby yesterday. They must have had such huge amounts that it hasn't melted yet!
Disappointingly after what the charts were showing last week, nothing snowy forecast now for the rest of the week here.

No snow forecasted here but days and days of rain! Think Easter half term will be a wash out

Gritters were out last night. Only frost overnight and currently -2C.

It really does look very soggy for many of us :(

Gritters were out last night here, and it is frosty this morning.

DS1 is supposed to have a football match this weekend, but I doubt it.

Since September he has only had 7 league games thanks to the weather making the pitches unplayable.

His football season is now overlapping with the start of the cricket season and he is not happy.

We have a surprise heavy snow forecast for Monday in Shropshire by the Met office. Possibly carrying on until Tuesday. I was just about to pack away my thermals!

oh so you do!!!
It looks marginal and I'm not sure how well it will settle. It will be interesting to see if any warnings are issued.

Yup.
Yellow warning .
In April !

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Note their wording:
As a weather system moves in from the south and comes up against cold air over the UK, there is the chance that rain could turn to heavy snow in places. Several cm of snow are possible, especially over hills, with drifting in strong winds. There is also the possibility of a few cm of wet snow gathering at lower levels. At present the extent and amounts of any snow are very uncertain, and it is quite possible that snow might not be too disruptive.

I want to cry.

I am SO fed up with winter & being cold & wet.

At +6C, with wind & rain it feels far colder here (Sussex coast) than it did when I was in the Alps (visiting family) a couple of weeks ago. I was at about 2,500 feet, it was -5 to +5 most days & I felt far warmer. I guess because it was dry: 38% humidity.

And more snow than you could think of - for those who like that sort of thing!

OYBBK - please let me know when we are going to have a heatwave.
