Rest of the place is fairly clear now....wind is the problem. Most snow round these parts fell yesterday, methinks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be all ( or most of it) gone within a day, there's a weather warning for rain tonight on the south coast of Devon, and Cornwall.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2018 I’ve just driven back from cumbria to crewe, snow in silloth, nothing in Wigtown, flurries in carlisle, drifting over the motorway hard shoulder between Penrith and shap, then nothing beyond there really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Funny how there is no mention of the Earth getting warmer due to ‘Climate Change’. I do hope climate change, or whatever the long-term phenomenon is, will make things cooler. Always did like proper snow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2018 Our Friday ration had more or less cleared off the roads today and they were busy starting to dry out. then from 17.00 onwards we had another ration of the stuff, just over an inch or so where it was settling on the last lot but not so bad where it was going onto cleared paths etc - but it's now going to freeze of course. Pics will look better when enlarged, I hope - taken within theh last 30 minutes or so. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Measured 20 cm here in 'sunny' South Devon. Not going out today. Snow chains will be purchased for future use though most likely won't be needed for a long time hence now! In the foreground geraniums can be seen which were in full and glorious bloom before the freeze. Edited March 19, 2018 by Re6/6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Some people must be as thick as pigsh1t when it comes to snow. A radio report from a police sergeant on Haldon Hill ( a notorious stretch of the A38 in winter conditions) said that they'd encountered drivers on the hill who were out to 'look at the snow' and then becoming part of the problem. These halfwits defy understanding. Edited March 19, 2018 by Re6/6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These halfwits defy understanding. Well surprise, surprise, the Met O. got it wrong, according to them, along the South West Coast the snow was supposed to turn to rain about 3 - 4am, can't get it right all the time!!??

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 But was the report based on Met Office data? The BBC's forecasting has degraded in both accuracy and presentation since their move to using 'Meteo' as the basis of the forecast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2018 A bit more snow here in North Dorset than a fortnight ago. But, for some reason, drivers have coped much better and kept the roads clear throughout just by simply using them. Don't understand people trying to do the more open stretches of the A30 and A38 though. I begin to think that people who recklessly endanger themselves (and others) in this way should be charged for recovery/rescue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for some reason, drivers have coped much better and kept the roads clear throughout just by simply using them. The last lot of snow fell on frozen ground following a few days of really low temperatures. This time the ground wasn't so cold, we were walking the dog on Studland beach on Friday in sun-shine with coats off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
