A weather advisory out on the Met Office site:

"There is a moderate risk of a severe event affecting parts of N
Ireland, N and W Wales, Scotland and NE and E England. Cold northerly
winds are expected to bring snow showers which could give temporary,
slight accumulations at lower levels. On higher ground accumulations
of 2-5 cm, and locally as much as 10 cm in N Scotland, are likely.
Drifting is also possible in the strong winds over the higher ground
in the North.

Issued at: 1255 Wed 2 Apr"

Such a shame the warmth to the end of the week is highly unlikely to
continue. So where might it snow and how much?

Note the combination of "severe weather event" and "sligh
accumulations. Is ANY snow in lowland areas now considered to be
severe weather?

It's a very vague forecast, and while it may be correct for Scotland, down
here in Snowdonia, i'm not so hopeful.

But I have a sleeper ticket to Corrour on Tuesday night, with a good chance
i'll see snow off the station and definately some snow up on the mountains.
Looking forward to the prospect of getting up and straight out of the Hostel
into snow. I managed that on a recent Lakes trip too, so hopefully my luck
will hold.

Makes up for the poor winter we've had down here (the only decent mountain
snow we've had was the last couple of weeks when i had other commitments).
Travelling to Scotland seems the only way to get some winter walking in
these days.

Well spotted! Presently, it really is very close to 1025mb Terry! In
fact, as you read that now, it could be exactly 1025mb. I can't see
what that has to do with this discussion, but you are just about
correct! *))

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Amusing watching the local news last night. The
forecaster was introduced as having "braved" it
out onto the balcony to deliver the forecast, dressed
in a heavy overcoat. She protested that it was quite
warm, really. The temp must have been about 14C.

The weather advisory has been extended to include parts of West Wales
and even the SW. Must mean the moors......could we see the first
covering of snow of the "winter" in Dawlish?.........

.........nah!

Transferred from entirely the wrong thread!

Well, "will it snow".

Noses on the windows and lamp posts chosen and under surveiilance for
if the showers come after dark in a night-time trough.! The Met
Office
have "improved" their advisory to include everyone and his dog in a
chance of a snow shower. I'd like to see a snow shower or several in
Dawlish and maybe some snow lying for an hour in the hedgerows up on
the Haldon Hills, but I'd rather it have been in the winter, rather
than in April, to add a poersonal note! My garden is cloaked in
Spring
loveliness and a cold Northerly doesn't induce the desire to go out
and hoe it madly. Also, I'm having the house painted on Monday, but
that will only be me getting cold when I take out the cups of tea to
the painter! The coming week should provide enough dryness to get it
well under way and we might get lucky, being on a coast, generally
sheltered from the coming colder winds, and get very little
precipitation in the early part of the week. Later in the week looks
more unsettled - but not snowy. Cold mornings early next week and
some
ice-scraping to do for those at work (heh, heh!)


Chances of snow here? Better than the chances of my only bet of the
year winning the National at 20/1. Unfortunately, I'm unlikely to see
either pass either the winning post, or the lamp post - as usual!


Hedgehunter to win the National again. Great horse, great jockey,
weighted down, but running on good ground. Snow for me on Sunday
morning!

Hi, Paul,

Expect a lot of bets on Snowy Morning (16/1 currently) but Cloudy Lane
(5/1) a much better forecast imho (;0)

Rats about the National! Even the beeb has reduced us to no snow in
their updated advisory! Not going well! Think I might start on the
Merlot early...........

Snowing in the Midlands. Should I choose a lamp post?

Didn't need to choose a lamp post; snow in Dawlish this morning in the
daylight! Heaviest snow in the 9 years we've been here. we got about
1cm! It was enough for us to leave snowmen on all the 3 picnic benches
in the woods and one on the boot of the car......which is happily now
surveying a scene where the only snow is in very shaded areas and on
the rooftops! It's almost gone already. The best type of snow. Snows;
go out; have great fun larking around, throwing snowballs and building
snowmen; get cold; go in and have several cups of tea and a bacon
sarnie; watch the snow quickly melting and that's it for another year!
We might get more snow showers today, but we'd be lucky to see any
settling.

The precipitation started as soft hail, turned to snow, ended as snow,
then we got a shower of semolina! (I kid you not, I'm sure that
graupel/sleet was actually cold semolina!

Great fun. Loved every minute of it. Now for the spring and summer.
