The left hand area of ppn is about to pass over Weston Super Mare and across the Bristol Channel - certainly not coming near me

The right hand area is moving slightly to the west so it should come over us.

Oooh!! that could hit barry then with a bit of luck, let's hope it's lots of snow. If I stand at the bottom of my street you can see Weston-Super-Mare acrross the Bristol channel.

Just had a heavy shower in Exeter, but unsurprisingly it was of sleety rain- temps are rather more marginal now. Still, it was good to see the showers remain as snow this morning.

Still think SW England is looking good for a marginal snow event on Thursday/Friday with the cold air currently progged to push right the way down the western side of Britain before the rain (sleet? snow?) clears.

Looks like they will pass either side sadly - but another area off ppn further south in the channel about to hit land is more central!

I think that band is going to try and follow the one that went over supermare, so frustrating

Ah cool.

Well lets all keep our fingers crossed then :D

I just hope if it does happen that the temps are low enough for it to settle ;)

Just had a very light flurry go over head which was why i never replied lol

hardly worth watching but hey.

The next batch of interest does seem to be tring to veer away from out direction :o

the other concern is i have a thaw setting in as well with temps now up to 0.7c now and thats at 290m so it must be getting marginal lower down.

If its not going to snow i hope it clears and gets frosty.

Has the BBC made an error showing rainfall on the map with a temperature of 4C to 5C along the South of England when the Met Office forecasts minimums of -2 to -4C with a frost and ice quite widely, which is the opposite of BBC weather forecast as seen below showing rain at 5C by 03:00am Wednesday morning?!

We have just had a shower of ice-pellets not hailstones - very unusual. I think it was sleety!

Large area of PPN just breaking away from Brest, but 'm not waiting up for that lol. A dusting by morning would be nice, but milder air increasingly pushing in with the stuff from the south now, I fear.

The right hand area is moving slightly to the west so it should come over us.
