I wonder when we will see the warnings being upgraded to Amber, because as it stands we could easily see more snow than anyone else has all week, coupled with high winds, we could also see drifting.

I'm getting a little carried away now, but could easily be the case.

I would love to see some lying snow too but fear I might be just a tad East for the end of the week. My pond waterfall has icicles but pump still working so I'm keeping an eye on the fish who are huddled together bless them. Fingers crossed everyone in our region gets the snow they want.

Still snowing here. Guessing it must be turning to rain on the back edge guessing by other comments.

Forthe meantime though, Portsdown Hill is looking more like a ski slope!

Still snowing with big flakes here too, bonus really but I’ll be going back to sleep when it stops!

Snowing in shanklin on the Isle of Wight! Getting heavier! But far too wet to lay. Nice to watch though ?

So nice to see especially as we are not much above sea level either so it's usually very marginal for us!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Big wet snowflakes here laying on everything, road covered with about a cm on walls, cars, lovely to see snow coming down with the Xmas lights on ❄️

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

So good to see reports of snow, I will set my alarm just in case, no work tomorrow so I can always go back to sleep if it's raining like it is now

On the snowier side of sleet here but not settling. Must be close! Encouraged that the Met Office still have us under train at this point but sleet by 9am, so perhaps even more favourable conditions to come here!

I hope so! It's snowing here and I saw a few flakes yesterday afternoon which was good. Only problem is having to go to work shortly, wish this snow was yesterday. Have a good day.

Wind getting up, fence panels split and banging against house, just gets better ?

[The No Snow Club]

I am firmly in here with the driving rain ?

The joys of being close to the sea....! Great to see reports in other areas though

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

So pleased to hear it's snowing for some of you guys, enjoy.

Depressing here on the iow heavy rain n wind  bet all those people getting snow don’t even appreciate it! Lol 

Just 1 day of laying snow would make me happy - just think it’s impossible down here everything has to be just right and it never is! 

Don't worry I know how you feel ?

Ah ha... we have sleet and very wet snow now!! 

Brilliant! Enjoy, great to see some snowy progress ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Now the rain has eased off it feels colder

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Morning everyone, loving all this rain and wind, not.  I would have loved to see a bit of snow now I've got all the Xmas decs up but I'll spend today watching horror movies instead which better reflects the weather! It's good that lots of people will have fun today though but I don't envy their journeys to work tomorrow.

Anyone else still buzzing from the storm tues eve/wed am?

 

 

Definitely! I had a meeting the following day but most people were tired too as they watched the storm as well. Some of our colleagues travelled down from the midlands and stayed in a hotel on Hayling Island and were so excited that they had seen a storm over the sea as it wasn't usually something that they could do due to their location obviously! Hope for some more thunder over the weekend possibly especially with no work to get up for but I'm not expecting anything much.

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 8th July onwards]

The best storm I have ever witnessed, never seen so much spectacular lightning. I will be tired for work but it was 100% worth it. Night everyone and enjoy if it's on it's way to you, a night to remember.

Occasionally seeing some insane fork lightning and a bit of thunder now

Yep seems to have intensified all of a sudden 

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 8th July onwards]

Some very bright flashes now considering they aren't that close, faint rumbles heard too

Seen a few flashes sat in the garden wish I didn't have work tomorrow or I would head to the seafront!

Infrequent but stunning lightning, flickering for several seconds at a time.  Shame it's so sporadic but at least we've had something.

My thoughts exactly! Should call it a night but it's fun waiting to see if there's any more.

[Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 27th Feb onwards]

A fair few lightning flashes and just had loud thunder here, just when I was thinking of going to sleep!

[Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 27th Feb onwards]

Fabulous thunderstorm with great fork lightning and loud thunder. Patio flooded but garden nicely watered, must try and get some sleep now as my getting up for water was a couple of hours ago!

[Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 27th Feb onwards]

Hi guys, just got up for a drink and pleasantly surprised to see loads of lightning to my west with faint rumble just heard as well. Will take my water and sit in the garden for a while, glad I haven't got work today!
