That temperature is creeping up i hope it doesnt hit the 0 mark currently -0.8c

That snow really is being slow to make progress into north somerset and bristol area.

Extremely slow, at this rate I dont know if its going to have enough strength to make it here. Still waiting for something to happen but it still seems the same as a couple of hours ago lol :rolleyes:

Looking marginal then, to say the least. Your 850s are between -7 and -8, so you might be ok?!

The temp here has started to fall slightly again for the first time in about 4 hours here. -0.2c currently. Think I'll wait to see what GFS 18z shows for Thurs and then head out with the camera.

This is fantastic that spinning low just keeps bringing the snow back to me. Not amazingly heavy but I can see this lasting for a few hours yet!

I believe (and I'm happy to be corrected!) it's the upper(ish) atmosphere temperature where the precipitation is falling from. Generally it needs to be (in conjunction with other factors (dew points etc)) -5 or lower, though there are situaions where it can be not as low as -5 and still produce snow- I think! So -7 is on the right side, just.

Just looked at the 9.30 radar and a finger of snow has suddenly appeared and gone east,as NE Wales are in the dry gap,still light snow here at -1.1c

Looks like the LP centre is west of london now.

Wind is north here.

Its looks as though on the lastest meto radar that its developing more snow on its southwestern edge, and is sprawling in that direction as well, next radar image should tell more hopefully.

Also i thought i'd post some pics of the snow we had earlier, intrestingly its still on the ground.

EDIT: Lol maybe not, its not working

A snowy scene in west Wales this evening. Looks like about 5cm out there now and still coming down...bit of a turn up as I'd given up on it looking at the radars before 8pm!

I wish I could save the NW radar animation!

It's just amazing to watch it rotate around Yeovil. I've never seen weather do this over me, well, not in the last 5 years of using NW.

The last time I saw this much snow here must have been back in the eighties!!

Going to be an interesting commute tomorrow.
