Well done to Newport Cowes etc at least they had decent covering I’m off to bed now really sad as wudve loved to have had a walk in it even a couple cm I’d have been happy with! Just praying we get another chance this winter!

still coming down heavy and a nice layer has settled, Newport IOW

Wow- how can shanklin be so different??!  The ground is SO wet now and although  it’s started snowing its a wet snow that doesn’t want to lay! Any idea how much longer it’s in for? I’m hoping it may lay if we have a few more hours n temp drops bit more?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Anyone know if there’s a chance this rain will turn to decent snow in shanklin on the iow bearing in mind it’s snowing over the west n central parts of the island?!!!
