I'd say we had up to 7 cm on the right surfaces (photos from about 8.00 am). Driving into Bath Uni - some patches with a lot less, now almost gone. Up the hill at the uni and there had been more than Warminster, I'd suggest. (I'm on the SW edge of Warminster, near the little Tesco). Certainly a nice last hurrah. I also struggle to recall a winter with two falls so far apart (Mid Dec we had a couple of inches too). The difference was the mid Dec lasted a week with almost no melting...

Car suggested 2 deg C but thermometer in the shade was -0.8 at 2 pm, so quite possibly another ice day in Warminster. Lovely walk round Shearwater (frozen). Where the sun has been able to get to it, the snow has gone. In the shaded parts it’s almost as it was on Sunday. Amazing cold spell, just could have done with a bit more snow at the start.

Vague memories of a heavy overnight fall in my part of Wiltshire in the 80’s, definitely April. Online check suggests it might have been 1989. I think it was a shower streamer on a north westerly, but could be wrong. It was wet snow, and melted pdq. Any ideas?

Storm Eunice - 18th February

Most of England is already under an amber warning. I honestly don't know what people want? Its about using judgement. In their defence, calling red warnings all the time that turn out not to be needed is more damaging than waiting and seeing what is needed. -

Why is it late? Its only Tuesday. It damages the MET to go too early on warnings. I'd wait and see closer to the day.
