Can anyone help with this one? Early March, say 12 years ago estimate? It was 7 degrees here and live BBC news in London (It might have been Nicholas W) was being reported in really heavy snow.

Estimate 6pm? I thought with amazement- how can this be? Then, during the evening, the temperature fell so that I barely checked the thermometer for an hour and it was just above zero. I went outside and the snow was blowing around in drifts and it laid.


I have tried many times looking at the 850s and my records which record max & min & I can't pinpoint this event. If anybody knows, it's someone on TWO.

Adam Boulton was reporting live and was getting snowed on, temperatures were initially around that before dramatic drop.

Interesting phenomenon:


Children screaming "snow!" again at school today; I looked out and soft white flakes, a cm or two wide, were twirling and whirling softly down. It had been hailing just beforehand. I checked the thermometer: 9°C; something's not right.


Outside- and the hail was belting the cherry blossom off of the trees so quickly that it did, for a moment, have me as well as the kiddies!

Interesting the regional difference in our land, that 20-30mm within an hour only gets yellow warning down here. Another words 30mm of rain could fall in under 1 hour.

Now up in the northeast id imagine such totals would see at least an amber.

A few years ago a band of summer storms crossed the northeast dumping between half and 3qrt an inch in 2 hours and it caused chaos with widespread flash flooding in Tyneside. It was so unusual in that part of the country a year later they had half a news paper dedicated to the memory of it 😂
