BBC News - South West up to 12inches tonight

'ooops'

[otleygas]

Rain/Sleet now turning to snow. Bigger flakes, and starting to stick.

In Yatton, south of Bristol

Yep, just starting to stick to the roads now in Wrington a mile or so south of you. Had a nasty feeling we were going to miss out again...here's hoping the heavy stuff keeps tracking up the M5

Looking at the radar pattern we are looking at 6hours of precepition over devon. Over dartmoor, for example, this could easily yield 40mm = 30cm+ of snow.

The temps will drop again from 00:00 through to 09:00am, as the northerly starts to have more of an influence, so i would expect even marginal places, whom have rain currently, to turn to snow at around 2-3am.

The most amazing fact i guess is that the gfs has the heaviest precipitation at 3am...that would be interesting.

All possible by the front now sitting over the south west, and then heading North East while always maining cover over Devon. Quality scenario.

Even Plymouth may get 2 flakes later; Currently 2.4oc and pure, watery rain. lovely.

Heaviest snow of this spell here in Yatton.

Big flakes.

Getting heavier.

More to come looking at radar.

I don't know im starting to get a little worried it isnt going to until it passes into midlands and then tracts se missing us.

There must be som1 alot more experinced who has an idea?

[Devon-Nelly]

Just had another moderate snow shower here, snow/sleeting lightly again, have a slight slushy covering on most surfaces but the concrete even though it was trying to accumilate. Hopefully some more heavy snow later on to get it settling nicely, still 1.1c outside

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Sounds ideal Paul, so the heaviest is yet to come? Do I need a shovel for tmrw morning? haha

[Britz]

Settling at last in Weston-Super-mare.

Massive flakes falling !

Real Heavy, Total whiteout in the space of 10 Minutes.

Yeah; the real heavy stuff seems to be stalling over Devon and south somerset. wouldn't surprise me if this begins to head off east in next 2 hours!

EDIT: It's struggling to accumulate here, even though been snowing for a couple of hours. No more than a slushy dusting!
