Met Office- snow warnings!!!
« Reply #30 on: November 22, 2005, 17:43:11 »
I like this bit:
"Current timings suggests the onset of the very cold weather will be around 0600 Thursday in Shetland, 1800 Thursday for Northern Ireland across to northern England, and 2359 Thursday for southern parts."

In perticular the words "around" and "2359". The latter sounds really quite precise for "around".  :lol:

And:
"Snow will also occur at low levels ".... what? do they mean on the ground?

Yep, it could be a White Weekend - after the initial blast from the Arctic, there's a Low moving in from Scandinavia ... could dump even more of the white stuff on us!

Time to put the recovery gear in the truck, I think ... :roll:

The Irish Met Office usually are a bit more reserved in their forecasting of severe
weather - whick normally turns out to be accurate....so when they issue a warning for snow its time to take note!

Time to put my sleeping bag in the car- don't want be stuck at work again with just a coat!

They are only forecasting 3 - 4 inches. I shall get worried once it gets to be wellie deep.

1/2" of sleet that rapidly turned into a sheet of ice was enough to bring the Midlands to a grinding halt two years ago! Along with many others we forced to overnight at work due to cars and trucks blocking the roads.

Snow, and lots of it, is guaranteed for North Yorkshire.

Why?  My quad is 20 miles away from me, and I haven't worked out how to get it home yet.   :?

Are we ready for the snow?

I`ve got the whiskey :lol:  :lol:  ,next door got the beer   :P  :P

Hmmm, that's me jealous now, we don't get power cuts any more often than anyone else, but it's always nice to be prepared  :wink:

Those links take you to pictures, is there a different link to the webcam itself?

P.S.

Great pictures, there is hope for the rest of us yet!

It's just hit here - a 10 minute blizzardy thing, not quite snow and certainly not rain (so sleet I guess !). The wind has now dropped, nothings settled just a very light dusting across the cars....

Will be a complete bu&&er if it freezes now  :shock:
