Just started bucketing it down in Swindon, no lightning or thunder though.

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

View from Swindon looking south.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 03/03/2018 Onwards]

My view over Swindon as of now. Settling readily and even got drifts of 3-4cm in places so far. Much bigger flakes and more level snow than last time.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Moderate snow here in Swindon, but no big flakes like others are reporting. It's just like last night here with the blizzard like dust.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

When is it all meant to build and start moving north? Radar shows it moving WNW but the forecasts show a strong front going straight N as per the METO warning.

I think that would be defined as sleet, rain and snow falling together.

True, I always took it to mean wet partially melted snow flakes.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Got a weird mix here now of light drizzly rain with the odd normal snow flake mixed in. No sleet though?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Just started drizzling here? Weather app says it's -2 degrees.

Only half an hour old too 

Not seeing where that snow is coming from on the radar, no big bands of snow to the south other than some relatively organised showers that are moving WNW rather than N as the graphics show?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Seems to be weakening south of us now, hope we get some more overnight as we've only had tiny flakes all night here, want some bigger ones to fall!

Still snowing in Swindon, light and slowly building up

Yup, I live on Crombey Street and am spending the evening watching people drive too fast and having crashes. Seen 5 bumps so far!

Swindon looks like a good place to be from the showers approaching. 

Not sure, the showers seem to be dissipating as they get here. Had one overhead a minute ago that fizzled out right above us and now it's bright sunshine!

 

But we'll see!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Practically a blizzard in swindon! Very heavy shower. Got a cm now in less than 10-15mins.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Just had a snow shower form right overhead and leave a dusting on everything. Ground is so cold that it's taking at least 10-15 mins to even start melting.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards]

Playing the radar through for the last hour shows the front starting to break up now.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards]

1 or 2 flakes blowing about in the wind here.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards]

Looks like it’s stalled now. Playing the radar a few frames back and forth shows it sliding southwards more than it’s advancing eastwards.

 

At least to my untrained eye!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards]

Ice pellets here in Swindon, but nothing more than that. I’m in the warning area but I’d say it’s far too extensive. Should be north of us.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Well woke up to a couple of very soggy CMs here in Swindon. Barely any on the roads but settled ok on grass and cars. Suspect it’ll have mostly thawed by lunch time.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Light snow here in Swindon, but still thawing so we’ve lost quite a bit of depth.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/17 onwards]

I’m going to bath for the evening tonight and then back to Swindon tomorrow. Will be interesting if I see anything at all!

Should be some decent coverage in Scandi by end of wkend,early next week.

Things look promising for me tbh. 

My brother is in Helsinki at the moment and has reported a light covering of snow there (about 1-2cm).

I'm in Swindon and haven't seen any?

Was in west Swindon, loads about. Now in the town centre and whilst none are flying, the nests look like they're starting to become lively so will probably be this evening or tomorrow.

Ants are flying today, I wonder if its a sign for things to come? 

Thanks for that, just looked outside and it's antmageddon out there.

 

Not looking forward to leaving work now!

Hi Chris, similar here, a nice dusting/covering overnight,,,,,,it was a snow shower that passed through around 5am....I was awake and it snowed quite heavily for around 15 mins......looking at the radar, I might catch a few flurries from that clump moving down through the midlands

Looks to me like it's fizzling out on it's western edge. A lot of intensity lost since it got past Liverpool!
