Some pixels off the radar got to me and there are great bid splodges on the patio......of RAIN The nearest weather station to me says Temp:2.4C and DP: 0.6 so be it. Sounds about right. Even 0.1 degree over Dew Point doesn't work around here unless it's gushing down. Martyn Hicks has run a good Station for years covering Filton, Bristol http://www.martynhicks.uk/weather/data.php

Hehe noggin 5:30 <-- what's that all about? More fool me that I missed the snow! This winter does feel different from the last few years, we're definitely in a better place for cold. Could be Feb before we see some action but at least it isn't all Atlantic rain.
-
Clouds just started covering the moon. There are only 47 pixel's worth of precipitation-bearing cloud left on the last 15 minute frame of the free radar that I use. I'm really clutching at straws here.

Hey noggin - nice to see you I had the day off today so, of course, I had a lie in after a silly night "on the watch" - which was fruitless. I did see that a flurry must have taken place when I got up. But I didn't see falling snow! Now, granted, I got up at 9:00am - that's probably taking liberties LOL. I had a great sleep, though!
-
Nice post. All I've ever learned from my years here, Met Monkey and the BBC Snowwatch days were never EVER promise snow to kids, loved ones or work colleagues. I guess I was lucky growing up in the '70s in East Anglia. Things just aren't the same anymore.
-
Wow it has a tiny bit of puff left in it. Please, just let me see one flake fall from the sky
-
I bet Pen-Y-Fan will suck the life out of it.
-
Last hope for a flurry will probably die over the Severn, I got out with my telescope and did an amateur take of the moon through my Samsung at the eyepiece. Better than snow. But not so crisp
-
Oh go on Knocker - go and get yer squirrel wet
-
Is that a bit of circulation pepping up in the area off Cardigan on the radar
-
Yeah just saw 0.5C drop in 20 minutes in Bristol too
-
Here's my prediction for Bristol. Rain will turn to snow at 16:00 and will continue until 18:00 Bristol streamer (yes this exact one in the picture below) will set up at 18:00 and continue until midnight. We will have a dusting on cars, grass and other conducive surfaces and it will be a very icy Friday rush hour. BOOM!!!
-
I'll cherry pick this one from the 18Z as it looks nice
-
Honestly, the precipitation predictions on all the models is pretty poor. Look at what's happening right now on the radar coming towards Bristol Channel / South West out of Ireland. Even the 18z just 5 hours ago didn't pick that up.
-
Saw snow up on Exmoor driving to Woolacombe back in November so I feel I've already used up my "once-in-5-years" quota.
-
Yes, but what they're not taking into account is that it will stall, spin, wraparound, swivel and intensify all over the West Country at 4:55pm causing rush hour havoc.
-
I think I'm in that gap between B and D, just SOUTH of the M4. Jack all for me! Haha - I love marginal events. Keeps us on our toes!
-
Those sou'Easterners haven't got the insulating scrumpy.
-
Must have been looking at Khodds' map
-
How many times have we been in this position and see something completely different come T+0 Not gonna worry about it too much right now, but there's no need for Harrow boys to be in here winding us up
-
Haven't seen the old favourite Pembrokeshire Dangler mentioned yet?
-
Hey! Saw Iceberg around the Model thread. Could get cosy in here in the next couple of days.
-
Glad I'm not going to work on Friday. It'll probably be an icy, slushy mess.

When JH pulls out the guns - it's time to take notice.
