[artic*blizzard*]

people without locations in your signaturse could you put them in.as most of us dont know when you are fromreporting,,,,,

temp here still 1.9......the snow is on knife edge with sleet here at present <_< <_<

if anything this sleet has sped up the thaw

[scoggs]

We got snow in Barry, must've been sleet first as it's taken a long time to start settling

[somersetwolf]

already had more here than we did last night!!!!

LOVE IT

Some very heavy pulses on the radar this evening across the SW, going to be armageddon down there in the morning!!! Even the Met Office could be short-staffed!!

[CARDIFFDUDE]

Heavy sleet here in Dinas Powys, great big flakes of snow, but not settling at all

[grab my graupel]

I'm not surprised at the snow reports after looking at this radar image <_<

[Nights King]

Oh my god i have never seen that before!!!

We just got a couple of flashes of lightning!! and its hammering it down, that light blue ppn is building over us.

[Bristawl Si]

Thought it was starting to freeze and stick here, but the lad's just come in and it's very slushy.

I presume the really heavy stuff is kinda stuck over devon and south somerset?

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Looks quite sleety now, still cant quite believe this is happening!

[bennytes]

it has started snowing here. very light atm, but definite signs.

have they got the precipitation track wrong AGAIN, because this was not on the forecast earlier?

[lfcdude]

Do you think this will head towards Bristol?

Mullender - did you read my post before?

I work near you, and wondered what my journey may be like in the morning.....already had 3 treacherous days in my car!!!

Tell you what Nick, you are not wrong. This is going to be absolute chaos. It is absolutely hammering down with snow here. Quite incredible.

There are going to be some very red faces in the morning too because this is now highly highly dangerous for being out - I mean I would think life-threatening if you were caught in this. It's a whiteout.

[Britz]

already had more here than we did last night!!!!

LOVE IT

Really? Because i live in Weston.. Down the road. And we had about 45 mins of sleet, which is making it hard for the snow to settle.

<_<

Crickey, a little unexpected this!

Left work (on the southern outskirts of exter) just after seven when it started to rain with some sleet mixed in. Saw the gritters were heading out towards the A38 etc. About 8pm it was still rain with some sleet but then by nine it had turned to wet snow and has been chucking it down since. Since around ten it has been proper snow and now have about an inch covering the roads which were soaking wet only an hour before. I'm at the lowest point in exeter so if i'm getting this here then further inland (eg M5 corridor, east devon) must be horrible for anyone out travelling. If it clears and the temp then drops it looks like being very icy tomorrow.

Cheers
