Snow currently falling in Poole and Bournemouth, right on the coast, gives me hope for overnight.

I left Poole, Dorset at 4:15am this morning driving to Canary Wharf, moderate snow at 5:30am M3 Basingstoke area, back to rain by the time I hit the M25 at 6am.

Long time lurker, rare poster (you guys and girls are the experts), as we tip toe into what appears to be a front loaded winter, i’m reminded of 2010, as I remember we always seemed to be on the cold side of the Jet, with what appeared to be wedge after wedge between Iceland and Greenland, could this be a similar setup?

I’ve watched this band move north from Biscay all afternoon, very slow moving, will it decay as it hits higher pressure, it’s now over the Cherbourg peninsula.

Must be the Purbeck microclimate, I think we have topped out at 8oC here in Sunny Poole. UKV into range now and showing for Sunday at least we MIGHT be in the game...

Yet with today’s occluded front it is snowing heavily in Ringwood, and Raining in Shaftesbury which is at 709ft ASL...I don’t get it

This is what kills me about living in the Poole, Dorset snow shield, literally 9 miles up the road in Ringwood, they have whiteout conditions...jeez they even have snow showers in Bournemouth

Mini beast 2!!! Go on my son!!!!

Moderate snow now falling in Brookwood, NW Surrey

Not very scientific, but here’s the bin lid. For what it’s worth the snow was better for snowman ️ building with the ‘Mini Beast’

Very light sleet here in NW Surrey, brisk NE veering E wind blowing, can I expect snow later? Met Office suggesting 24 hours of the stuff!

Snowing again in Costa Del Poole

I see developments in the Channel, please no more freezing rain, my car is still recovering from last nights storm here in Poole, Dorset

I have a house in Surrey in the week (plenty of snow there). Couldn’t help but come to my weekend house at 10am this morning, no way was this snow starved Poole born and bred lad going to miss the great SW Blizzard on 2018, it’ll go down in folklore!

The road is now chaos, people abandoning cars outside Poole General Hospital!
