25mm so far today with no let up looking likely till early tomo morning, absolutely needed so great to see and hear.
Hartland, North Devon

well the snow wait finally over here in Hartland, North Devon, drove from Hartland to Woolsery along the a39 and it was pretty sketchy, must have been 2 inches covering the road, radio 2 just mentioned cars now stuck in snow between kilkhampton and abbotsham. super big flakes at times so settled without any problem after all the cold rain all day. Loved the Polzeath webcam, when i saw that i knew we would get some heavy snow soon. All but gone through now but i wasnt expecting such an amount to fall and settle, especially on the main route through north devon and cornwall. keep your heads up somerset/wiltshire, you are bound to get some later.

Currently DP -3.1, air temp -0.2, hopefully bodes well for tomo, will be very interesting to see what we get here on the north devon coast, winds will be offshore which is always a bonus. Great local weather site is hartlandweather.co.uk gives you lots of info.
Fingers crossed x

also the amber warning i find a little perplexing.......i have been removed from it (and many others along the north coast) when places that are east of me (inland) are all in an amber warning, surely whatever snowfall they will get i will get 10 mins later, would have been better to put the amber warning right to the coast.....people live there too (ie bude).

really coming down now here (near hartland n devon) doesnt look like stopping anytime soon.

a few flurries now falling, still got a couple of inches from this morning intact, although temp is 0.4C. the system seems to be moving pretty quickly westwards, cant see how the snow is going to last here more than a couple of hours.

Big flakes and finally starting to settle in braunton now.
yes just got that line of snow come though, given a dusting on all surfaces, temp down to -1.4 now, so ice could be a problem on the minor routes, this is the weather station in stoke, not far from me.
there are some photos on there of spekes mill waterfall in the last cold spell.

Send some this way! Do you have a link to the radar or is that part of a subscription?

It's snowing here in braunton but nothing settling. Fairly light stuff. Looking across the bay today looked like you got some? The fields above clovelly etc seemed to have a covering. Really clear skies too. Same looking northwards towards Pembrokeshire.
yes we had some moderate snow about 10:30-12 this morning, giving a light covering and a coupe of cms where the wind blew it into the hedges and banks. the echoes look quite bright on the radar, hopefully heading this way....not that im greedy!

looking at the radar the folks in barnstaple should be seeing something white very soon, if not now.
looking forward to tonight and tomo here in hartland, north devon.

here's a couple of shots from yesterday evening, the waterfall is at spekes mill mouth, not often you get snow right to the water line here on the north devon coast, last time was 2010. i work on a farm so it has been pretty hard work for the last couple of days, the pipes have frozen so we have to fetch water in milk churns from the local river and ferry it back to fill up the troughs. also this morning at 5am we lost half of our lambing shed roof (approx 20ftx20ft piece), the strength of the easterly is not something we have experienced before (must have been gusting F9), westerly no problem. luckily we dont start lambing until april but some have already and that would not be fun.
Drifts upto 5ft locally, and like most other areas everything glazed with ice, just beginning to give now, but temp hovering at 0C

couple of questions for anyone who wants to answer them; firstly whats with the 'hole' in the precipitation towards cornwall-now clearly seen on the radar, and secondly isnt this system set to move nw, seems to be heading due north?
cheers.

very fine flakes here in north devon near hartland, covered all surfaces. wind is strong and gusty leading to lots of blowing snow, could be some serious drifts later tonight, already banking up in some corners to a few cms

Blimey, how often do we get to see ALL of the SW covered with snow, not very often. And 13 cm for the Lizard!
ive noticed on most of the precip charts being flagged up that there is an area of lighter accumulations for west cornwall and west devon, starting to annoy me now as im in that patch haha. any ideas what may be causing this?

Well i got very lucky in the fact we had heavy graupal showers one after another last night and this morning. we even lost power due to lightening strikes. Roads have been blocked around Clovelly and Kilkhampton areas, some areas recieved 4". Arlington Court was closed as staff could not travel. Most of it has stayed all day leading to communites being cut off, slowly thawing now with temps at 1.2C. Been the snowiest spell since 2018.
