Snow Watch 2007 Update

Well Monday 22nd January 2007, and here is the Northern Oxfordshire snow update.

(newsy type music, think drum beats, repetitive, forthright etc)

No snow as yet but still hopeful!

Barometer is high and rising slowly.

My snow theory is that you need high pressure with a series of weak low fronts breaking against the high, therefore most likely place to see an accumulation of snow is in the area between the two. It usually comes down from the north and starts with a very cold high pressure area. So according to the barometer we have the high pressure, come on that low.

No weather warnings out from the met office but BBC suggested snow on Wednesday was possible. According to the BBC 24 hour weather for Oxford there is a chance of a light snow shower at around 0700 on Tuesday. Anybody want to put money on it.

More snow updates to follow.
