Snow Watch : Cymru And South West England

[Godot]

Sat next to a warm fire with a Bath Ale now....and you want me to go out side and measure it...LOL...your jkin right..

I am a sad, sad weathernerd.

[bennytes]

coming down quite heavy now in Maesteg. Seems to have pepped up, doesn't it?

[NickSomerset]

Ohhh..for the jolly fellows of Somerset.....glass half emty or half full..mmmmmm..Half empty in Brizzol me thinks.

I don't think it is going to thaw fast, i think on high ground where temperatures will be 2/3c colder it will barely thaw and then there is potential for more snow out of marginal events.

[Duane S.]

I wish I was in Wiltshire or Dorset area now, that moderate/heavy ppn has been over them for ages now and barely moving. It hasn't really fizzled out either, if anything intensified a little.

Anyone from around that area in here? Lucky sods lol

I'm in Dorset and you won't want to wish you were here! I don't mind losing out to marginal situations being on the coast and all but with that in mind it's hard to take when you get this situation which is just down to pure bad luck.

Trust me, until you live here you can have no idea what 'little' snow is. People talking about only a couple of inches boo hoo!!?? PLEEEEEASE, I'LL HAVE IT!!!

According to gfs and Roger's post the low is progged to move NW??

The low is moving west,which is one in a blue moon. love it

The center of the low is crossing right over the west so must be another period of snow to come but the radar looks like a dry slot coming in.

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

If you don't use the met office radar, try this one for free:

YES!!! Come to Bristol!!

I'm in Winterbourne and to be fair, it hasn't stopped since I got home at 18:00, albeit its been pretty light.

Wow not far from me, I basically live in Winterbourne but officially in Coalpit Heath,

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Gave up on the walk to the pub after slipping on the compacted snow 3 times ... that was while sober, god knows what it'd be like coming back... its reading -6.2C out there, which does seem a little OTT.

How near is that snow! Just needs to edge a little further west and it'll top everything up nicely.

Do want I say I told you so, but.....

[fromey]

it just getting heavier

[Evening thunder]

After watching the Netweather Extra with snow so painfully slow moving just a couple of miles to the north of us! its finally snowing with some quite big flakes bit still only light to moderate.

Settleing well though at -1.8c... we have about 1cm now..

yes 1cm lol

[BristolBlizzard]

Do want I say I told you so, but.....

Lol just as you said that I checked the next radar image and it fizzled out a little bit

Edit no it didnt lol must of been an error or something. Gurt old bristol should see moderate snow soon if it stays on track.

if only it was xmas! :lol:

[tornadomanuk]

serious amount of snow has fallen here over the last few hours, the most I've seen for a long time. Was following 2 gritters on the A358 back from Taunton earlier complete with a snow plough!!. Not overly heavy snow falling but its a constant amount. Very still outside with an orange sky. Nobody driving about - seems very strange.
