Timelapse Snow over Portsmouth
On 1st March 2018 a snow storm that the press nicknamed “Beast from the East” arrived. It brought chaos to many areas as it was accompanied by strong winds too. This looking over Portsmouth from the top of Portsdown Hill, this time-lapse video captures the storm as it arrives and deposits some snow. It then continues as the snow clears and ‘normality’ resumes.
In the distance, you may be able to see Portsmouth Harbour to your right and the lights of the ships moving at night on the Solent. Often you can also the towns on the Isle of Wight and even the TV mast at Rowridge, however with the cloud cover and damp air these aren’t so easy to see during this video.
It is possible to see the moon and Jupiter in the night sky when the clouds clear. When there is cloud cover, the lights of Portsmouth reflect back, making it quite light.
