In Verwood we had a thunder and lightning show from the SE to SW coming towards us for about 30 minutes, then the storm hit us for about 20 minutes, 33mm according to our local facebook weather expert.
A good one.
I see the Met was widened the rain and storms yellow for Saturday in the south, includes Dorset now. Also Sunday now includes Cornwall, Devon Avon and S Wales.
hopefully my water buts will be overflowing by sunday
Still chucking it down in Ringwood, settling on cars and grass, 1.0c on my car temp guage, guys from the factory across the road unloading lorry still in t-shirts and shorts though.
I travel north regulary, if you are going stright back to Shrewsbury its quicker to go A31 - M27 - A34 - M40 - M42 etc, traveling though Dorset/Wilts is slow even when its not snowy
Well at the moment, south/south west of Bristol is pretty nasty, depends one whats happens overnight. Safest way would be to forget Yeovil and go M40 - A34 - M3 - A27 - A31to Bournemouth
Had about 1 cm and a bit in an hour here (15 miles north of Bournemouth), my car was clear at 9, and its still coming down. Meteox even has some red coming our way, woot.
I think I qualify, just had an hour or so of sleet turning to snow, roads covered, just come back from Bournemouth Station, pretty nasty drive. Looks like more on the way
Just had 1/2 hour of sleety snow in East Dorset, covered the roads to inch or so, temp +1. Have to take my son to Bournemouth station in 1/2 hour, should be fun
Heading to Dorset - HAmpshire? see Meteox Heard on the traffic news that West Dorset has just copped a lot, particularly Lyme Regis where there has been many traffic incidents
