With more than a few hours now forecast of cold air, it seems likely that we
have the highest chance of snow in the SE this Winter/Spring.
Seems there could even be a covering on Sat am. Breakdown also not so
obvious, with EC going for a definite NEly flow next weekend too. Newsgroup
very quiet, but I guess we are all fatigued by the Winter disappointments
down here. Good luck to those who want some white stuff - I'll look forward
to reading the reports.

Not expecting anything in the way of white stuff here in the lowlands near
the south coast of Devon (Will, any ideas?). I might head up Dartmoor on
Sunday to refresh my memory on what that white stuff actually looks like.

If flakes fail to fall here this weekend then it will be the second
winter/spring/potential snow season that I haven't seen as much as a flake,
not even sleet, let alone anything actually lying. But then again I don't
suppose it was ever that common here (though my neighbour tells me
differently).

Windy and wild outside at the moment (but dry).

Currently (20:30), 9.4C, RH 85%, DP 6.7C, 1007.9 hPa (F), Wind 15 mph
gusting 30 mph WNW.

I can remember a heavy snow fall at Easter around the early 1970's when I
was taking a group of handicapped young people to Longleat Safari Park,the
coach had difficulty in getting down the hill towards the big house, we
were the only people there .,and the staff were surprised to see any one,
snow was all over the park..cas

Hi Nick,

Please see my usual weekly Dartmoor forecast at
http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/weeklydiscussions.htm
also accessible from

I told the Haytor folk to expect a white Easter last week. Most are looking
forward to it!

Nick,

Forgot to say that you might see a few flakes in heavier showers at your
place on Saturday, it should be cold enough I reckon.

Cheers,

Will

oh no is this true? not the dreaded NEasterlies with a high to the NW which
could eventually be labelled a blocking one this can go on for weeks!

I hope so. Omega high - bring it on. This is going to be superb for
late season snow in the Alps...
