Definitely hoping for a drier and warmer 2013. Although grass growth was good, crops were bad and we had to keep bringing cattle in because they were churning the fields up. Poor for wildlife and my hobbies of wildlife photography, butterfly hunting and bike riding.

The band is quite fragmented so will get rain/sleet/snow in bursts.
-
Not long, looks like it has reached Wells.
-
On the radar the front end coming into Somerset is showing as snow.
-
Looking at the radar its just edged into Somerset.
-
It might seem funny but there is a change in the air before it snows and I can smell snow. I cant describe it at all though. I also know when its going to be a storm as my head hurts and my left shoulder starts aching. If a storm is coming people flee from me as I seem to attract lightening, must be a inherited thing as my gran's gran was killed by lightening.

Just been out across the fields with the dogs, coorrr thats bitter. I was very thankful for my furry trapper hat,I think my ears would have fallen off. I do have very red numb cheeks though and my face feels pretty raw too

Was driving around the green blob in Somerset this morning and all around in the distance I could see white hills. That wind is really making it feel chilly, its 1.6c here but feels colder
-
Head south or west a couple of miles and theres no snow either.
-
I'm in the 0-4 area. I've been here for 12 winters now and have only seen snow on the ground 08,09,10 and this past week. We only saw the occasional dusting before that if we were lucky.

Loved Rob, one of my favourite weather presenters. I liked his presenting style and the twinkle in his eye with the cheeky grin at the end of his forecast use to make me smile. I was gutted when his was 'disappeared'.

Happens quite often in snowy spells, either the snow misses this area completely or it melts a lot quicker down here. I bet on a satellite image now from south of the mendips there will be a big green blob. I enjoyed the snow that was here but I'm starting to look for something warmer and drier, I'm most definitely a summer person. I really don't want to face another cool wet summer again and its impact on the insect life. We could do with a warm dry year to aid recovery of the bees and butterflies.
-
All back to normal now 95% of the snow is melted and we have flooded lanes again.
-
All gone back to being bleugghh here again, grey, cloudy, wet and muddy (apart from a couple of white blobs here and there)
-
That is just sooo such a great rant
-
Snowing here all morning but not settling, everything turning back into a muddy mush. Such a waste of good snowfall!
-
It snowed here for hours and hours, in fact its been snowing again this morning but i woke up to less snow cover than I had before it started!
-
We had hours of heavy snow but it just wouldn't settle, then it finally started settling, we get nearly an inch worth of covering and then it disappears. Watching the radar and running the animation I would say that is it for here tonight bar maybe a flurry or 2.
-
I've been keeping an eye on that as they are now seemingly heading my direction. I'm currently in the white blob in the middle of the system.
-
Whereabouts in south somerset snowylad? Sorry just like to know whats happening around this area.
-
Finally after over 2 hours of snow its starting to settle!
-
surprised by that Khodds, its 0.5c down here and been snowing since about 2.30-2.45 ish
-
If this snow would have settled we would have been buried by now, seems such a waste to melt on impact.
-
Really heavy snow here, gert big flakes. Not really settling though
