You are right there dogs!!

Very heavy snow now here. Hope this finally begins to really stick and accumulate!

[Jace]

Looks like there is some scary weather out there......

BBC said they are opening Exeter race course to get people off that hill.

Very heavy here in central Bristol......looks like it will be chaos in the streets of Bristol again

Well, the only good thing I have to report is that the sleet and snow that left a dusting about 2 hours ago has melted at all so it should give a good base for hopefully the snow we should see later.... maybe.....

[thunder butt]

stopped dead nothing falling at all the metox radar is showing a hole atm and its right over me ..darn grrr

kate a mud plugger is a 4x4 with huge tyres i use it to roam around the salisbury plain in very heavy mud so snow like this would not be a real issue

[jazzy]

Has now gone very still here and temp has dropped to 2.2, dewpoint 2.0 and for the first time today the pressure is dropping. Does anyone think there is any possibility of it snowing here tonight or is that it now? (not that I have had any snow yet lol)

Was just about to ask if you were lurking, this is taking ages to creep into wales but its coming in! Light snow grains here

[Nights King]

still moving north

If it keeps this up we aint gonna see much in central somerset.

Why isnt that northerly changing its direction?

[Mark]

BBC said they are opening Exeter race course to get people off that hill.

Ah, that hill! I thought it was closer to Exeter than that.

Last February I went to the Go Ape place (rope ladders, zip slides etc) that's in the forest on the other side of the A38 to the racecouse. As we drove through Exeter there was a bit of drizzle and then as we drove up the 'that' hill it turned to snow which stayed falling until we left, albeit lightly, until we drove back down, and then it turned back to rain.

We are really on the edge of this , but the radar does suggest something heavier pushing in.

Probably not quite as heavy as further south though.

[leon]

From the MO radar it looks like it is gonna stop soon here in Bristol...at least this is what I can see... Not sure what the ppn in the south are heading to...

Twas me ,you can't be that unlucky,starting to stick on roads + paths now,your turn will be soon!If it snows here it can snow anywhere.

[kumquat]

Goatherd - nice photos!!

Coming down heavy and at last starting to settle on the wet roads in NE Bristol.

Radar looks like a gap coming up. BUT I think its starting to stall on a SW-NE line through Wales and the PPN looks like its starting to "stretch East".

Hoping that this will be more evident within the hour and this keeps Bristol within the PPN.

I think we will see a stop as reported in somerset etc. but signs further south of a build further east which will keep us in the picture.

Have had roughly 5cm here in Wellington now, been heavy since 8:30pm. Almost as if the snow clouds have been stuck here as with Exeter, it arrived much sooner than predicted.

Where are you? Radar shows some yellow 2-4mm city centre sort of.
