A few flakes of snow are starting to fall in Bridgend, nothing major but its snow, hopefully it will pickup in intensity. :o

How is Cardiff doing now? Any heavier Jay or Jaydee?

[chapmanslade]

Snowing hard here and the temperature has fallen from 0.9C an hour ago to 0.0C now since the snow started.

Looks like Richard Angwin 1, National forecast nil, so far

According to the BBC Forecast just now, snow going for much of tomorrow morning here in the West Country and fizzling out but not exactly turning to rain.

yes Mike.I saw this earlier....here its not going to turn only the east of the snow....

UPGRADE ALERT!!!

BBC News weather, right now, snow for Bristol thru' the night. Darren Bett even mentioned Bristol as the main focus of tonight's snow.

This was a definite upgrade. White all around BTL on charts right thru' night and into morning :o :o

EDIT: Absolutely chucking it down!!! That lampost has never looked so good!!

Yeh it is getting a bit heavier then.

I know you're all getting excited in Bristol, but looking at the Radar I can't see how you're going to get that much accumulation? I would've thought it'll end up a bit further north.. The precipitation looks too far east to hit bristol later on.. I could be wrong.. Just my take on looking at the radar.

Noticeable difference in the recorded forecast between Derek at 10.30pm and the forecast, snow now not lasting as long for the morning as compared to earlier forecasts for Wales, heaviest snow in Bristol and Wiltshire areas in the morning.

Looking at the radar it would suggest some form of precipitation this evening, but it had remained dry.

[Bethany C]

still light to moderate, but starting to settle on the tops of cars.

Yes, my crazy head suggests I go and take a picture of the Cement Works, my sensible head tells me Wiltshire is short of grit. I suspect the Bratton road is not top priority...

[dogs32]

met office update more and more counties are now Orange

The centre of the low pressure is currently located west of france, the precipitation is now starting to swing around it and track N/W.

The west will do VERY well tonight

Stop worrying, look at the radar carefully!

The strange this is there has been snow recorded on the radar on top of us, and I haven't seen any myself either.

[Marcus_surfer]

[BristolBlizzard]
