Getting close to 2cms here, wind making it look like a mini blizzard that heavier precip is creeping ever closer

Getting heavier by the minute the road outside is covered in a blanket white o

Wow not bad for Somerset!

About as much here, maybe a little less. Can't imagine how good 6 inches or a foot looks like if this is only around 2-3 inches!

Still snowing! Looks like such a great snowy scene.

So much better than 3 months of mild south-westerlies with a 12 hour northerly once in a while! This is a proper winter!

yes i have already written off work for tomoro

I am not sur was is gonna happen later but that band of showers around bristol and somerset has just about cleared me.

Where should i be looking for further ppn to come from?

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Proper good snow as well, wet enough to stick together, but not too wet to soak your gloves after 5mins!

I know how you feel but I can't got really heavy snow here and big flakes aprroaching 3cms now don't hit the sack yet you will miss out

[slinky1989]

Uh oh, dew point and temp are rising now Hope it doesn't turn to rain before it finishes so that it speeds up the thaw.

[kumquat]

Well the stuff moving into Exeter (red echoes on radar) is looking heavy. All depends whether it gets to you as snow. Temps aloft, DPs and rising ground temps and sun will all affect this later in the morning. Time for bed I'd suggest. But what a great night.

[smarty81]

Yes BLIZZARD CONDITIONS NOW BIG FLAKES like it in chelts?

[ukfire]

yep.... fab night.... glad i stayed up.......

[03jtrickey]

Kumquat, do you reckon the stuff over Devon's heading this way?

[kumquat]

Still dumping it down here. I must be right at the extreme W edge of that ppn. Hoping it will just keep sliding up against my area and keep it like this for an hour or so more.

[Nights King]

about 2 inches here now - looks soon to be over but better than Monday for sure.

i don't think it is over just look to the south west it is moving in slightly ne direction and ppn area is expanding and getting intense.

I don't think there is threat of rain for a while round our area and bristol - temp is down to -0.9c so its actually been getting colder.

[kumquat]

Kumquat, do you reckon the stuff over Devon's heading this way?

Looks that way to me (but what do I know?) I think it will bring rain to marginal areas possibly anywhere south of Bristol. Anywhere a bit further north has more chance of keeping it snow. I'm hoping we can keep this snow tomorrow in Bristol. I was just unsure all the time about the 850s. But the snow tonight has made me much more positive

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Still -1.3C with -1.9C dp, hopefully it doesn't rise much for a while.

Is the front stalling slightly?

[kumquat]

Plus, of course, if like mullender is reporting, the temps further south are encouraging. Then that is encouraging for everybody!!

[smarty81]

Still heavy persistant snow here approaching 4cms, about 5cms in the garden and more on car rooftops.

I'm signing off peeps goodnight or shall i say goodmorning.... Im going to savour watching the snow pile up..

Excellent! Enjoy the snow!

I heard a neighbour down the street letting out her cat into the back garden and her exclamation of surprise was very audible LOL!!!

[slinky1989]
