Still looks good for bristol area in the early hours. id say it could be very wet to begin but its a good chance it will be snow and im possitive that the mendips shall get a pasting as long as it doesnt mover further north again.

We had a fresh inch of snow about 1.30 am so as long as we dont get silly temps today it should stick around for the big event later i hope.

HI mullender we didn't get much here but we did get a small covering on the cars and roads again...

BBC guy said there could be changes to where the snow will fall so he will update throughout the day...

He said snow in Cardiff by 3.00pm.............by looking at the radar it looks alot sooner

edit should be snowing in Cardiff NOW

Morning peeps, woke up to a fresh covering of a couple of inches or so, everything completely white again :) Don't think it will stick around for long though, temps already just below 0c. Fingers crossed they'll dip again and stay lower.

hmm, doesnt look like reaching us til early evening id say. I am positive though because traditionaly high ground like the mendips, cotswolds, exmoor and quantocks do very well out of this sort of setup. I'll be surprised is places like wells and glastonbury, somerset will see much. Although id prefer they did because it makes it far less marginal for me.

the problem is if it moves to far North it could turn to rain after a dumping

Yes that would be a complete disaster. I cant wait to see met office warning update at 11am i'll be scared to look at it. just have a bad feeling we will be in for a downgrade. although its only 12 hours away what could go wrong....

The good news is its fairly heavy stuff...so a nice heavy period of snow..........

The bad news it doesnt look like a 24hr affair....BBC

The good news from SKY is that its more wide spread across the country and its well into Friday

DO YOU THINK WE WILL MISS IT :)

Yes i think maybe less snow than expected but it would be better than having rain all together. It may barely turn to rain and then clear before its return trip as snow in which case the thaw wouldnt be horrific and we would keep most of what fell.

I am exausted from the last couple of days of weather watching lol.

What time roughly do you think it will hit the southwest?

Are we even getting any snow in the southwest? :D

The sky is very dull, with a brown tinge to it..on and off really.

But no sunshine or blues sky's to be seen!

Im listening to BBC weather....but there not always right are they. :D

BBC your not..............SKY you are.....

time I wouldn't of thought it wouldnt be to long by looking at the radar..maybe by dinner time..who knows..

just hope SKY correct in your case as they have the snow more widespread....

it depends where you are in Somerset really....you are on the edge of the snow forecast..BBC

Humm the problem with this band coming from the south is it will be rain on the south coast, so the further sout you are the more chance of rain / sleet.

Im hoping temps will drop a bit, so if it comes in over night this will be best as it should be colder. Even if its only by a degree every little helps.

Morning All!

Think what is coming up on the radar now is not what is forcast tonight going by what I saw on the BBC this morning; It moves away, then the real fun starts at around midnight through to tomorrow... I'm prob wrong tho!

We must have had rain over night as all we have is slush left :D . Still white on Mendips though.
