    Dew points? I'm looking at some between £30 and £50 but I'm not sure if that's included.

    Yellow Warning Snow And Ice just issued

    It's a shame that this could arrive later into the night, it will just be a tad too warm for snow here at the moment.

     

    I'm hoping to get a weather station in the coming days so hopefully I can get better readings.

     

    Yes very useful. Try and get one that records dew points as thats the one that tends to scupper snow in the south west.

    You look very well positioned fk. Your right I have seen these forecasts go very wrong just few hours out and end up in south wales so I just hope we see a few flurries break through into wilts just maybe 🙂

    You never know.  We are on the south western slope of the moor. At 200 metres we are certainly well placed than say folks in plymouth, but we are often on the margins of a decent snowfall.  In these marginal set ups the snow line tends to be above 300 metres (only half a mile from me). We suffer in my location to the proximity of the tamar estuary, its a huge body of water and is only 5 miles away I'm sure it effects our DP and general tendency to get really cold.  

    The fabled snow narnia village of princetown is but 5 miles up the road but its a hugely different climate to here.  It sits at 500 m/asl and is often 3c colder at all times of the year (sometimes 6c difference to plymouth city centre) it certainly picks up its fair share of snow days. If the ppn is there in the next 24 hours they will be in business.

    Radar Extra just jumped to 9:05.

    The 'arm' is reaching a little east than UKV modelled for 09:00 but otherwise it's pretty close. UKV appears too showery with the NE flank but the radar might be smoothing out some details while it's still so far offshore.

    The main uncertainty for today is how far east the precipitation makes it within the westerly upper flow before fizzling out. Forecast models are showing little interest in getting it past western Devon at the most but I've seen this process underestimated enough times past to know that some very light snow can't be ruled out further east. Nothing special for most, just a possible decoration to add to the festive ones. Convergence may boost the rates over the moors, though.

    Tonight, area of positive vorticity is predicted to run east along the boundary zone - its precise track will determine where any heavier precipitation occurs.

    Interesting really to see how the warmer air interacts with our current cold airmass in terms of inroads or skirting along the channel. Feels like a nowcasting sort of 24 hours coming up.

    The forecast I saw said rain, sleet and snow but turning more readily to snow as the day goes on.

    Yes overnight could be interesting. Not that it is always right but the absence of any weather warning makes me wonder if it will be just fluff in the breeze mind you anything that falls from the sky should add to the ice risk.  Sunday morning was an ice rink round here.

    Dartmoor has snow all day and evening by the looks of it.

    Nothing here yet! Mind you we are only at 200 metres. Met office app always over egg the snow risk. Its relatively mild today at 1.6c. DP about 0.5. If we are to get anything significant today I'd suggest it will  a 300 m/asl event, certainly during the day.

    Radar is pretty bare at the moment for the moor.

    Met office ups the ante somewhat with the snow getting to Poole. HIgh parts of devon and east cornwall in line for 5 hours of light snow elsewhere rain. 4 different models with 4 different outcomes. Best bet stick your head out the window at 10pm tomorrow and see what is what

     

    EDIT: Arome model suggests brushing the cornish coast with rain and snow in land.
