I'd imagine any thawing under the snow band will be negated as grounds temps drop below 0C as nightfall approaches....still more snow wrapping around this circulation on developing from oragraphic forcing over North/East facing hills

I’m honestly baffled by it. Happy but baffled. Kids moaning though as can’t go out to play in it until it stops (kids with autism/sensory issues/averse to falling snow)

small scale circulation over Wilts as mentioned earlier in the thread.....still snowing steadily here but hints of slight thawing.....I'm wondering if slightly less cold upper air is being dragged from the SE into the circulation
