Afternoon All. Happy Easter wx forecast - Increasing clouds with little temperature change. ===================================================================== Temperature : 8.4°C (Feels like 7.9°C) Dewpoint : 5.2°C Humidity : 80% Pressure : 1009.8mb and Falling Slowly over 3 hours Now rain here yet, despite the radar suggesting we are now under the rain shadow. I don't think it will be long.

Well I was resisting posting as I didn't want to let the SW team down, and it seems it might not be over just yet! So, as you have asked for updates @Man With Beard, I'd say at the moment, it is sadly another "close, but no cigar" IMBY, Most of the South Hams has been hammered, but the extreme South West of the South Hams has its shields up again. We had an hour of snow from 11:30 that turned everything white apart from the roads. It has all but gone now. The kids in the local park have resorted to using their sledges on the slide! I'm eagerly watching the next batch heading across from Kingsbridge, but it continues to evaporate before it reaches here. After that, it looks like there is another chance coming in from the South, but my suspicion, based on radar progress alone, is that the Eastern edge will break up and anything that is left will be to the West. Sorry if that sounds negative - I've had a great time, really I have! I shall remember the fine powder snow and roaring Easterly for many years to come, but the reality is that the snowfall *volumes* have not been that dramatic in this area.

EDIT - OK, maybe a little premature. Heavy is snow flurry as I type. But I think it will be on and off instead of On for 6 hours! It looks like it's going to miss PL9 again It's ben heading right towards us for the last 6 hours, but has just started to drift North by the looks of things. I think I will have to move.

Same here, 1 mile from the Devon coast. Even though "dust" has been falling most of the day, there is nothing blowing around and the ground is bone dry. Car has frozen droplets on it, where the larger flakes from earlier had melted. Temperature : -0.6°C (Feels like -4.4°C) Dewpoint : -3.1°C Humidity : 83% www.caiels.com

Still here . . . still lurking We had proper snow for an hour or so early afternoon, now just the odd fleck is floating around, as it has been most of the day. I don't have a lamppost, but the IR lamps on the webcam pick up EVERYTHING. Tiny amounts of snizzle look like a blizzard. It's just reached 0.0c, down from 4.0c at noon. DP -2.5c

Thanks everyone for a great forum and especially to the regulars for putting up with us lurkers. I missed the worst (best!) of the blizzard here in Wembury, SW Devon, but I had a great first course of powder snow on Wednesday and a little dessert course of freezing rain last night. Nothing to cause a problem, but enough to say I’ve seen freezing rain! Here are a few pictures to give a view of the condition across our region. Wembury, 85m ASL and 1 mile inland. 3 day and 7 day air temp profile. Powder snow on Wednesday. Driving winds and fine snow on Thursday A little freezing rain overnight into Friday, followed by a gentle thaw. Redwings and Mistle Thrush visiting the garden on Friday

No sign of freezing rain in Wembury, SW Devon. I've been waiting for two hours to say what was happening as an intense radar shadow went over, but they keep evaporating just before they get here. I think it is mainly old snow blowing around in the wind now. Air temp -1.3c, DP -1.7c. With the way these showers are disappearing, it looks to be about it for a while. There is one more shower maybe about an hour away, but I'm not expecting it to do anything different to the others. More snow would have been great, but at least it looks like we won't get the freezing rain.
