Temps creeping up now, -0.1C here. Drizzle as well.

Drizzle on IOW also. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

First signs of the thaw setting here..

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Starting to snow here.  Proper fluffy flakes, not the icy crystals of last night.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

After flirting with 0 Deg.C, the temperature here is now dropping.  Now at -0.4 and dropped about 0.2 deg in the last hour.  No precipitation, no thaw yet.  Birds are having a real feast on the corn thrown out onto the ice covered snow.  Sheet black ice on the lane with gradient outside, impossible for any vehicles to traverse.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Some more ice rain glazing pics from s.coast of IOW.  No precipitation here, hovering around freezing, DP below.  No melting yet.

Incredibly rare, thank you and to Matt too. Stay inside, make sure you have airflow from your homes and like I advised Mapantz, put a little vaseline (if its not too late) around the moving parts of windows. If your front door is a tight fit, open it when safe then put some vaseline around the frame and the door latch.. 

Thanks, got a few more.  Padlock, Leaves, Car headlight.  Not wet, but totally hard glazed.   Overhead power cables are coated also, but too high to take a picture.  Got a south facing front door, so no issues to get outside thanks.

The glaze of freezing rain on my north facing conservatory window.  Photo taken a couple of minutes ago.  Never seen anything like it!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Evidence of freezing rain here on SW coast of the Island also.  Althouogh currently mixed in with Grauple, plants have clear, frozen droplets on upper leaf surfaces.

They need to close the local forecaster down... never right. It’s been very hit and miss on the IOW.. Tommorows snow fall will cheer you up pal 

IOWPompeyLee - anything falling in Shanklin?  Radar indicates it might be.  Tx

I’m in shanklin on the Isle of Wight. Starting to turn white down here due to that streamer keep pepping up just off the coast. Could last a while I hope!! 

Just edging up into Brighstone area now.  Going white ATM

Fluffy flakes gently drifting down over here on the south coast of IOW.  WInds calm.

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

Raining on the SW coast of the IOW.  Very occcasional wet flake mixed in.

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

Very first traces of sleet beginning to mix in with the rain in the IOW south-west coastal strip.

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

I'm on the southern tip of the Ile of Wight - Comletely manic outside with gusty winds and the sky alight.

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 11/1/2017 ---->]

Relatively plenty of precipitation still to come, we might just get a wet snow coverign at this rate after all..

It's not as bad as anticipated at present, Chimet is only at 43 knots and the forecasts were in the 65 upwards range. I would think that with a change to SW this is not particularly remarkable when compared to the recent winters.............give it another couple of hours and things might change of course

Atherfield on the Island checking in here...  Rain stopped, winds moderately strong but not increasing further as yet.  Sea will be going wild tonight.

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat, 6th December and Onwards...]

Light rain showers here on the s.coast of IOW, frost gone.

After a weekend of heavy rain here in Cornwall (Falmouth area), the wind is really picking up tonight.  Should be an interesting drive and then car ferry back to the IOW tomorrow. Decided to head in-land via the A303 rather than take the coastal route via Bridport.

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

First crack of thunder on south coast of IOW. 

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

First shower has reached the Isle of Wight.  Very large drops.

[South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat]

Strange, the whole of the East side of the IOW and where I was, we just got absolutely battered by extremely heavy snow, like really really heavy, it settled everywher! and lasted a good 45 minutes! Came across a pretty bad accident too!

Well looking east towards your way at dusk, it was black as hell. Quite a sight..
