I can report that it is a blizzard out there! :crazy: Been out with the ruler and it is almost 19cm! Some people are trying to drive out of the estate but the snow is pilling up under the front wheels. Only 4x4 vehicles are moving. Wish i had a skiddo :D

Its getting serious though, running out of milk and bread!

The secondary School in Sherborne is closed today and found out that alotof the Yeovil schools are closed.

Now that's just ridiculous!! There's no lying snow. :crazy:

I guess they made that decision yesterday based on the forecast.

Apparently they called out the army last night to help with the cars on the A38, which remains closed still towards Exeter, and one lane open further down towards Plymouth.

Apparently snowing in parts of south Devon again... anyone confirm? Its blowing around a bit up here and very dark... going to take a walk in a bit, see what its like at the top of the village (1200feet) ... should be fun!

Been snowing here since about 8am...

A little snow on cars and roofs but need alot more for it to settle on the roads.

The secondary School in Sherborne is closed today and found out that alotof the Yeovil schools are closed.

Maybe they are expecting it to get alot worse.

Temp here is currently 1.2.

Take care all x

Sigh ... we were supposed to get some of that lol ! :crazy: Still, it is snowing on and off now.

Don't give up yet, I've got heavy snow falling here in Blandford.

Annoyingly the ppn is beefing up as it reaches the coast and then starts to die out as it comes NW towards Yeovil.

The snow has beefed up again here in Longlevens after looking like is was going to ease off, just a shame a lot of yesterdays snow melted here or we would be building up some really impressive depths for lowland Gloucester.

Yep, 10 miles away in an arc from WSW around to ENE has seen loads but move SE from there and it was just heavy rain and sleet.

It's trying to snow now but only very light flurries. The system has moved too far up the channel (English) so it looks like the worst is passing me by.

Oh right, I see what you mean.

So you dont think there is a chance of snow when the cold front pushes all that ppn back southeast again?

It's not technically pushing the ppn back SE. It just means that the colder air is moving further SE and then bands of precip that move in off the channel hit colder air and it snows..... allegedly!!

This whole effect will then move east across the country. Unfortunately the cold air hasn't got here quick enough and the ppn has already started to move further east along the coast.
