It's all very well looking at the models that far ahead, but we've been here before guys! So best not to assume nothing will change, because it's highly likely it will. It could be for the better but equally, could be for the worse. I'm not expert, but all it takes is that high to sink slightly, and we're left with no easterly convective showers, but cold fog!
-
Yes, it's game over now. But hey, we'll all be back here next winter chasing the dream!!Terrible forecast snow wise for Bristol southwards for Sun/Mon. Story of this winter so far everything always too marginal., a consequence of not having days of sustained cold established before the snow arrives.
Ian seemed quite bullish about a no snow event for this area now (apart from very north of our region).

I miss the white stuff! Back to rain and mud grrrrrr
-
How far south mate? I can't seem to get on to the met office site. Is hammering it down here in Warminster (rain that is!)Met Office have extended the warning of Snow Southwards and I'm just on the boundary...
Something they know?

few flakes falling near Warminster. Temp 3.5c
-
They mentioned the dreaded "snow north of the m4 corredor" on the tv a minute ago!! If only they built the damn thing in the channel
-
Just making the most of the flakes falling now. It's the last of this cold spell, and you never know when it will happen again living in the uk. Here's to the next cold spell. Bye for now
-
Some of those flakes earlier were like large pieces of foam you get from the sea in a storm!
-
Where the hell are the GRITTERS!! Roads are really bad. Come on guys get out there!!!!!
-
Massive snow flakes!!! Biggest I've ever seen! Really starting to settle now
-
I have a feeling they have underestimated this, and some places could get plastered!
-
It's nice to see it snowing in day light, hopefully the heavier stuff comes before it get dark!
-
Light snow is Warminster now! Lools like its setting in and the sky is looking darker in the distance!!
-
Light sleet/snow in Warminster, very light now though. Any ideas if Warminster is in a good position for heavier snow later?? We are on the edge of the amber warning so hopefully see at least 5cm

Yes, I watched the same. He was obviously told to stand there for a while to make the report more dramatic, but made me laugh! Some of those drifts looked amazing!Wow, just watching the national news, Conset, in County Durham, is in the thick of it. Was watching BBC news channel this morning and the same guy is still reporting and he is covered in snow, just as he was this morning, with it still snowing heavily. Thats a lot of heavy snow in that region!!

They must be from Newcastle! Bravo girlsWhere's all the southern lasses then! We need a photo like our northern counterparts have;
-
CORNWALL, you will fight the mild air on the beaches, fight it on lands end, fight in the hills and the streets. You must never surrender! If if that mild air comes, I know that the rest of the west country with its mighty cider drinking snow ramping army, will come to your rescue and fight of that mild air to deliver you to snow heaven victory!
-
Fergie give us some snow, fergie fergie give us some snow. Fergie give us some snow, fergie fergie give us some snow!! One things for sure Ian, this cold spell is certainly going into Fergie time if it continues up until next week end!
-
Just put the footy on, nice seeing the snow coming down at stamfordbridge
-
I know a few people have mentioned this, but please feed the birds. They really do suffer in this weather. A wren for example has to eat about half it's own body weight per day to survive!
-
Snizzle here in Warminster, wilts. Hoping it gets heavier later!
-
I wouldn't be supprised to see that PPN further North affecting more of our region. a few snow flakes falling as I speak, nice to see!GFS PPN chart at 48 hours similiar to the NAE, albeit GFS makes a little more of the front over Cornwall;
So, looking increasingly good for Cornwall & South Devon on Monday. Could get a nice covering of snow away from coastal strips. Also, notice the more potent area of PPN on the GFS too.
Could be a double barrel early next week.

I'd love to!! I love the snow because you see grown ups finding the child within, and actually living for the moment for a change! A rare thing in the modern world with lack of time and stress!That's the way to do it! Are you going to do it all over again on Monday
? -
Lol , I have no idea why my above post says " If this doesn't say (if this doesn't say cockroft when referring to a bbc forecaster, I have maturity issues) Cockcroft when referring to a Bbc broadcaster u have maturity issues" !!! Lol where the hell did that come from!

Just watched regional forecast, dry Sunday, dry Monday, and a risk of a dusting of snow on high ground on Tuesday! Nothing epic about that
