I trust them to be correct over such a short period of time but I don't trust the over hyped potential, that's being painted. I don't believe the south will see any settled snow -perhaps maybe and a big maybe for hilly areas. |

I don't believe the south will see any settled snow -perhaps maybe and a big maybe for hilly areas. Up here in Haytor I'm expecting the first lying snow of the winter on Friday. Hope to go sledging on Saturday and a challenging snowy walk on Sunday on the high featureless moor above 500m asl around Cranmere pool, if the roads are clear enough to get to the starting point. 850 hPa temperature of -5 deg C with a sea level pressure below 1000 mb would give me a temperature (outside precipitation) of around 2 deg C, the effect of melting snowflakes would quickly lower that to around 0 to -1 deg C and then the snow will settle quickly on our cold ground. A gradient wind slightly west of north or even north will ensure a continued feed of showers onto Dartmoor and Exmoor notwithstanding any fronts or troughs.

You're welcome to join me driving the 40 miles to work on Friday Morning at 6am over Slochd Summit (1,300ft.), Inverness if you think they might have "over-hyped" it after looking at todays run of charts!!

I'll be starting at 1400' but some what later, after 0900, which should have given the ploughs enough time to have got the Brampton Road open... I really don't like the look of the charts recently. They have been far to consistent for the last few days with that deep low over the North Sea. It's now only 48hrs or so away, I'd be very surprised if it didn't happen. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

JP That is the worse argument against "over-hype" I've ever heard, in fact it's over-hyped. If that's a regular route, are you telling me it never snows up there! Call me daft but that is a shock to hear it may snow up there at Slochd Summit (1,300ft.), Inverness. I bet that's suprised a few people. It must have come as a shock to you as well when you decided to live there. Climate Change eh! I don't know.
