Got heavy rainy sleety stuff now. Amazing that South Petherton is so close and much lower and is getting snow.

And another thing. The traffic camera we were looking at earlier:

Looks like there isn't any traffic coming south down the M5 - hardly any tyre tracks!!

Been an accident on M5 southbound between j24/25 and northbound between j27/26, not to mention the A38 closed in Devon trapping (reportedly) 200 motorists in deep snow at Haldon Hill

First post on here so Hello all!

Its really comming down here in South Wales, its not sticking on the roads though, hopefully it will as it looks like we are in for quite abit of it.

Any signs of that front moving south and east yet?

[Mark]

That'll explain it.

Just watching the BBC24 weather. The snow definately isn't going to go as far east tomorrow as forecast a few hours ago. That could explain way the ppn is still so far north and west. It looked like it could linger along the south coast (from about East Devon eastwards) for quite a long time tomorrow morning.

For once I'll take the BBC's view on this

Hi and welcome.

Same situation here in newport. Roads look too wet for snow to settle

[Rlt122]

The hills around me are probably nice & white though, just can't see them right now lol

[dancing daisy]

Sorry to be a pain but can someone answer my Q about meteox radar. Is the blue showing snow or is the lighter blue sleet/rain? I am trying to understand what I am actually looking at.

Thanks.

No snow in Bridgwater at the moment. Though I *think* we will get the Exeter snow when it moves up. Please feel free to tell me I am wrong. As I said I am only in the process of learning this stuff.

The open gap in somerset seems to have some shower activity peping up in last couple of frames.
