Snow Watch: Cymru And South West England

[Lynxus]

I reckon its going to merge with the north....then stall then move S/E

That would be ace. If it was to stall north of us then everything in the SW S ect would have to move over us.

But im just dreaming that at the moment.

Here in Burnham on Sea sleet has turned to wet snow & temperature has dropped from +2.5 to +1.5 over the past 2 hours. Its going in the right direction but if the precipitation had arrived 6 hours later as forecast it would have started as snow instead of struggling to settle.

make the most of it guys...I shouldnt post many up....so treasure this one...And remember its really cheap to buy

Is the main lot heading east?

[Godot]

Just heard they closed part of the A303 due to snow!

Eira man yn chwythu yn y gwynt fan hyn yn Nyffryn Aman

Light snow grains blowing in the wind here in the Amman Valley

Good sign as it certainly wasn't expected that far west.

Why does it always rain on me....

Snow reports all sides of me now and we cant do better than sleety rain! Cant believe its snowing in Exeter and South Devon but not here! unfortunately an old lady in the village is ill tonight but the doctor apparently cant get here due to ice on the road!!

lol this is what you call a snow shield!

Edit: lol when i do that it turns more to snow! maybe i should do that more often...

it's not snowing here mate just rain

[kaz]

Still light sleet here, not so good

HI ya maybe we should start a new thread for us poor folks getting nothing but rain/sleet .. just when i thought it couldnt get any worse i now see south devon is getting lightning .. You should of heard me swearing oooo the air was blue .. I even went outside and shook my fist at the sky.. i will be carted away at this rate by the men in white coats

Is someone having a laugh here?

boscastle, cornwall = 1.0c sleet, Exeter and paignton, devon, level with plymouth, on the south coast = snow....plymouth 3oc and heavy rain.

I am honestly at a loss on this one

temps are holding just above 0. it seams to be all over the place with the amount but it has settled as my cam shows.

Bristol this is the system...it will merge I think with the light stuff from the North then move East I think

[BristolBlizzard]

Hi BB. It's definitely not as cold as last night. Our lying snow here was still thawing tonite at 8 o'clock. I'm convinced this band is going to veer off NE in next hour or so and the main stuff will miss us.

Hey

Well according to the GFS (in our favour) everything is going to plan except it came a little quicker then expected. As somebody else said the main lot will go NW of us and then start to move in a S/E direction. By this time the cold air would have digged in enough and could bring heavy snow once again. GFS is looking good for once, only difference is it is a little more west then expected.

[lfcdude]

this is anoyin me... snow then sleet and so on.. i just want snow..

starting to think this could turn out to be a let down

[Nights King]

How long before this thing veers to a more easterly direction? looks like going to far north of mid somerset if it continues

[Cymro]

I know, But we were expecting bad snow up here this morning which we didnt have until about 10ish and then it barely stuck , sticking thawin, stucking thawing etc. It topped up the fields a good inch and a half again but the pavements nothing really apart on the patches of snow lying aroud as most of the ground is frozen snow here

[NiikAURA]

I wonder will this front make it as far north as West Midlands, North and East Wales?

Dont worry im in east Devon and theres snow all around me in all 4 directions just a few miles away in some cases but here in the middle the best we can do is sleet.

Still mod snow but not settling; not even on cars! Last night settled straight away on every surface. Is colder air about to undercut and change this? Main belt will veer east north east i fear.

[Lynxus]

Oh my god! its sooo close to us now!

[dogs32]

GET THE CANS OUT glos guys its here

only small but definitely HERE

[mickeyflyn]

bbc forecast just said no snow for s.wales,i must be seeing things then !!!!

[Bethany C]

Beeb and MetO say sleet for bristol. Channel 4 say snow. I think it's snow at the moment.

[Lynxus]

GET THE CANS OUT glos guys its here

I really hope that if it starts shifting east then the stuff in the SW moves up and follows the east track over us!.

It would be wicked to get all of that streaming across us.
