Where's the downgrade then? Still extreme warning for Hampshire,Oxfordshire and Berkshire issued at 1633 and thats all of Hants not just the north,rain turned to snow here a while back.

Cant believe how downbeat it is in here, this rain/sleet was forecast on the coast but turning to snow later on as the main band moves south pulling the colder air behind it and then keeps rotating giving us hours and hours of heavy snow,dont think they would issue a red warning lightly.

They did say it would start as rain or sleet but the main band hasnt even arrived from the north yet so I wouldnt worry too much,once it all meets up is when the snow starts and then it just keeps wrapping around giving more snow.well in theory anyway but still looking good even on the coast.

Dont panic like someone said your just getting bits coming off the channel but brace yourself for whats going to occur this evening VERY HEAVY SNOW!! Check out the meto RED WARNING totally unheard of down here if this pans out as they say it will make any snowfall of the 1980;s look like a mere dusting could be nearly 2ft of snow I really hope this comes off.Is This really going to happen???????????

I know mate posted on here a couple of times no response so gave up seen more action watching paint dry. SW,SE and model much more interesting.

Know exactly how ya feel seems to change on a daily basis,but to be fair they are correct whichever way you look at it as they are going on the information that the models supply,and its better for them to forecast a risk of heavy snow but all it does is rain than to say well it will just be rain and it turns up as snow and then they get slated for getting it wrong. I don't see anything nailed on as they say regardless of what the weather forecast is or what's being said in the models thread I only believe it now when it actually happens,so I expect nothing but prepared for anything.

Was starting to get excited about this forecast but looks like its all changed again,just good old rain for us in the south now,and looking at the outlook for the 14 days i really cant see any snow at all amazing how much can change in a couyple of days.

I was driving at the time and only realised when my wheels were just spinning,managed to get home at crawl of about 5mph.it was the people on foot i felt sorry for loads falling over some had even taken there shoes off and walking in there socks,but the reason so many cars were getting smashed people braking.

Sorry only just logged back on,nothing to worry about there as this occurred earlier on this morning around 7am I think and luckily no one had any serious injuries.

WARNING!!Freezing rain all across Southampton and some surrounding areas,everywhere is covered with a sheet of ice warning to anyone thinking of travelling its very dangerous.Already 20 car pile up M27 westbound just before rownhams services 30-40 car pile up on the A35 No buses or trains and people falling over everywhere never seen anything like it very spooky.

Surprised its raining there as Basingstoke heavy snow all afternoon even Winchester here in Southampton I lost count the amount of times its turned from rain to snow and back again

I was just going to post that the snow had turned to rain but having just looked out...its snowing again,very strange it keeps on changing cant say I can remember it chopping and changing like this,then again ive just spoken to someone who lives about 3 miles up the road and its been snowing all afternoon.

Dont know what part of Southampton your in mate but Im in Shirley and its still snowing not as heavy but def snow.

Just had to take a reality check looked out the window and its proper snowing really heavy cant believe it

Has turned to sleet now in Southampton looks line anywhere north of Winchester should get some snow but looking at MO warnings it does show Hampshire out of the flash warning but it seems the colder air is now moving to the west and the whole of the south east not as cold. still very messy and still just about anything could happen.
