Major snowfall in the UK

[leon]

Hello dudes,

what better than today to launch this new discussion room?!?!
A major snowfall...a big event...tv, newspaper, all the people here are talking about that...It is the topic of the day!
Only the southern regions saw some rain...Wales, England (from Devon northward),south of Scotland and Northern Ireland had a quite heavy snowfall overnight and during the day.
Also in Ireland (mainly inland) it has snowed, only sleet in Dublin though!
In the Midlands the snow brought quite a significant covering, up to 15 cm in some places.

Apparently this is the major snowfall of the last 15 years,at least in terms of coverage.
More snow is on the way...for central and northern England, only rain in the south for tomorrow and Saturday.

Currently in Bristol cloudy sky
Temperature -0.4 (falling)
Pressure 997 hPa (raising)
Wind Calm

I leave you with some pictures of this amazing event...
Enjoy.

Hi Leon,

I'm in Scotland now, here it's very cold and windy.The sea is rough too.
I heard Metoffice issued a warning for heavy snow in large part of south England,Wales and Northern Ireland,I saw also the pictures in Sky news that they show the snowfall in London and other part of UK.

Cheers,

Ste

Cool pics Leon, esp the Wantage one which looks kind of... exotic Btw, you said this is the most relevant snowfall in the last 15 years as far as coverage is concerned; are you implying heavier, yet not as widespread snowfalls took place in the recent years, by any chance?

Cheers!
