    Not here it wasnt. Best late Winter/early Spring cold and snow in my lifetime.

    At 14.00 hours on 2nd March it was Minus 2c, still snowing, powdery snow in normally mild Bristol/S Glos.

    The mid-March 'blast' was also impressive. March 2018? Epic

    Some pics from 2nd March 2018

    Maybe it was just my location lol. I remember being furious at the radar with the streamers setting up but only affecting extreme coastal areas and Kent for example. Direction of wind is key and any northerly component to the Eastly kills snow chances for many people. Would much prefer 2010 style south Eastly flow more perpendicular to the coast than parallel in 2018. For areas inland or west I guess it wouldn't make much difference in curious how you got so much snow in Bristol?

  2. In terms of actual snow the beast from the east was incredibly disappointing for many areas. The cold and the wind was the main thing that was notable I must say. Apart from a few areas that had streamers most places only got a few cms max. And I also remember it melting to the sun quickly even though it was well below due to the sunshine. Much preferred 2010 with actual snow events and snow which didn't melt. Would I take 2018 again absolutely yes though
