SNOW IN OCTOBER??!!?!

[Warmblood39]

Has anyone else heard snow is being forecasted for October?

 

[sheep]

I heard something about that, but I doubt it. Well, I doubt it'll affect me anyway, as I am nowhere near the area for which the forecast was made!

 

[AmyMay]

In Scotland - yes. Not that unusual on higher ground.

I have been told today that there is snow forecast for this weekend comng - in LEICESTERSHIRE!!

I told them I didn't believe them - even if thats what the forecast said until it actually happens

 

[Hels_Bels]

I dont know about snow in october but it wouldnt surprise me. last year someone told me they had seen the forecast and there was snow forecast for the weekend...we all laughed as for the time of year it was beautiful weather and it just seemed ridiculous...we were snowed in for a week

I'd put them both back in the fridge... http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/341 - Yes, I realise this is the city but you're not looking at a 15 degree or more drop for the rural areas!

There's been some hype in some of the rags recently about a nightmare winter with snow in Oct. The situation as it stands is that some parts of the UK - i.e. the Scottish mountains that usually see snow in October! - will do so this month. For the rest of us, we're looking at slightly lower than average rainfall and slightly cooler October/November than average but no freak snow predicted as yet.

I have heard it and am hoping it won't affect us down south.

Any thing wet will do me, we still have a drought! I now have the village ducks bunking at the yard as the spring fed pond has dried out!

 

[MagicMelon]

It has snowed here in October so it doesn't astonish me. I have made a bet with my farrier though - fiver that it DOESN'T snow in Oct so it better not!

 

[Warmblood39]

Hope it doesn't or it means a 5 mile walk to the yard to do my horse after being at work

It snows every month in Scotland. This batch is forecast for the North West Highlands - you guys can all relax.....us, not so.

 

[Tinseltoes]

I doubt if it will snow in Wales lol

 

[lachlanandmarcus]

I am expecting snow this month....but then I am on a hill overlooking the Cairngorms.....
Last year, September looked like this......

and October looked like this..... :-OOO

Yes, our YO (farmer type) and to be fair he’s usually spot on with his weather predictions, I’m hoping however this he gets it very wrong.

We once had snow on Easter Sunday a few years back...crazy!
