Snow Watch : Cymru And South West England

[loadsa]

Any idea if my school will close in Cardiff?

Jay how will anyone know on here if your school will be closed. Ring up the headmaster and ask him or better still go on BBC Wales as they are listing the schools that are closed.

The amount of snow might give an idea.

To try and answer all of the will it won't it snow in Bristol comments....

The rotation around the low in the English channel has now brought the snow over me as far south as it's going to come. As the low moves NE the rotation will continue but the snow will then start to move NNE away from me in Yeovil towards Bristol.

Maybe.....

If that is correct then surely the mendips would be in the fireing line for another 5/10 cm? maybe

Anyone notice the ppn pepping up a bit and heading towards bristol? Check the 1930 and 2000 radar on the MetO.

Whatever happens - the latest radar (20:00) shows more precip building on the east side and heading back towards Bristol

lol "SNAP!" BristolBlizzard

Not sure guys! Looks to be just hanging around south somerset and nearby, but who knows?

Would be good to do some proper lampost watching after Gavin & Stacey

Quite incredible, I really thought that it had left N.Dorset but it's turned back and is intensifying again, 3 inchs so far and counting...

[dancing daisy]

Lots of snow in Bridgwater which is very rare.

It has been snowing more or less constantly for the last few hours.

[NickSomerset]

That's how i've interpreted the latest radar update, but i'm just hoping it does leave and come back to BTL. No offence, but the Bristol posse want more tonite

[SteveB]

snowing here still, must be over an inch

[fromey]

Might be good for south BTL, but maybe not for north BTL.

I think it's a case of 'wait and see' now; just got a hunch that tonight is not yet finished in terms of snow......he says, hopefully!!

Rob McElwee, BBC News24, just hinting at slightly warmer air getting into the 'mix' at the mo....could be explaining the heavier snow down in somerset.

Yes i think bristol should get it all as long as it passes me to get there

[Jayfromcardiff]

Lol my school isn't closed yet, however few more hours of this and it will be.

[Godot]

Have you got a ruler or a tape measure handy? It's 3cm so far here and still snowing.

BB, Fromey, Mullender and others : the back edge of the snow band has barely moved any further West for over 2 hours!

I think Yeovil has become the centre of the pivot with the weather going South to the West of me and the weather to the East is starting to go North. So as the weather goes North it should start to rotate around towards Bristol.

I wish I could show you the NW radar animation of the last hour then you'd be able to see it happening.

It's been snowing here for about 2 1/2 hours and has now accumulated to about 3-4 inches
