[lfcdude]

[BristolBlizzard]

Which blob we looking at? :lol:

You got the NW Radar?

Its about 30 mins away but it looks like its heading the north of the WC and gloucester area

[Bethany C]

2 little flurries here in bristol, the second one can't decide if it's going to get lighter or heavier, but I'm not complaining.

[pyrotech]

Kaz its still looking good for you and South east wales. BBC seem more concerned about South East England due to main event and population there and are not concentrating on development daking place further west that is LIKELY to take place later.

Bit worried about WEDNESDAY as the temps look marginal but there is another event around then that with a slight upgrade will be great for us.

later in the week it still looks pretty damn good too.

Today will be about watching for development in the west as the main event moves North from southeast. GFS had this further west originally but as ECM predicted it moved eastwards and the benefit of that is of course its stayed as snow not rain over England which is better than sleet/ rain but downside is less percipitation further west.

So watch the radar , cross all your fingers and later tonight all eyes move towards your local lampost. Most will get atleast inch or too, development could give sustained snow in places >4 inch but will need more development than bbc are saying. But hey they are watching further east.

For actual conditions a good tip is to check traffic cams

i add a link for wales here

http://www.traffic-wales.com/traffic

Brecon Beacons has a nice bit of snow and just checked cams by Ebbw Vale and snowing fairly heavy which is North east to me.

hope this helps someone with nowcasting.

Ha thats the spirit, this is the most fun I have had on this forum since 2004,I was known as dorsetsnow in those days I was about member 200 then but got bored a couple of years ago and was born again!!

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Finally... some light, and that may be an understatement, snow!

[BristolBlizzard]

Where are you Shaun?

[NickSomerset]

No Snow..But! A gritter went through our town....unusual they leave us out usually...mmmmmm is it coming our way!!!!

[slinky1989]

Might see my first heavy snow shower.

That shower has just left a nice 1cm ontop of the poor excuse for snow we did have so enjoy it

more than enough to have a decent snowball fight! Just been out in it

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Count yourself lucky... where I live they can't even get the gritters down the road... usually we get bags of salt but haven't seen any for a few years... hence why my road is like an ice rink at the moment with the spring from further up flows over it... sheet ice, with snow on top and granite boulders just under the hedges... gotta love Dartmoor.
