Snow Watch: Cymru And South West England

[LeeS2009]

Its slowly coming this way but not fast enough! Still no ppn, wind is picking up but its not a strong northerly like it was earlier, move like an easterly wind! The progress is painfully slow though!

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.

More showers forming West of the Isle of Wight, is the ppn still progged to move eastwards?

Snowing here again, sleety and wet.

I've said this too many times the past few days, but it looks amazing, a proper winter scene!

Thank you.

So I *Think* that means no more snow for us.

I am getting so confused.

Hi and welcome.

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

Thankyou for the welcome. Just went out to check and its all white now, Cwmbran always seems to get it more than Newport... By the looks of the Meteox radar if this keeps up my dentist appointment may have to be cancelled.

marcus_surfer, are you down near reynoldston?

[swebby]

Thanks for the pictures guys. Very wintry indeed, BUT..........the snowiest picture only has about 1 1/2 inches on the ground (Dustings almost).

Where's the deep snow pictures?! IM WAITING

Hi Seasons

Can not comment about the other photo's but wrt mine the point is that my location is extremely unfavourable for snow, I may as well be on the sea front in exmouth. If the lowest parts in exeter town centre have an inch or two then places like the top of haldon hill will very likely have four/five times that. NB The A38 is not a minor backwater road but the main link down to plymouth and cornwall and none of this was really forecast so i imagine the emergency services will be having a mare right now.

for those interested here is a well illuminated web cam for the very centre of exeter http://www.exeter.gov.uk/lgnl/index.aspx?articleid=2856

Cheers

I believe this radar does not shoe ppn type. The darker the colour the higher the intesity

Please feel free to correct me if im wrong anyone

Lmao this blows , its rainng here in Port Talbot , mountain isnt white either it dont make much sence. Even if it did snow now its way to wet with all rain to amount to anything which is a shame because day before yesterday it looked magical. Maybe the coastal wind is keeping things to warm here

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Rain rain rain on the tropical south coast.

Nope, i'm here, in snowy Wiltshire

Strange, its snowing here (albeit wet snow) at sea level right next to the loughor estuary. We still have a lot of lying snow, which may be holding down the temperatures slightly but I doubt it would make that much of a difference.

Temp 0.7c dew -1.1c so it could go either way here, still snowing moderate though

[benb]

Light to moderate snow here. Temps steady at 0.4 degrees. We've still a full covering from Tues and earlier today. The heavier stuff appears to be fragmenting as it pushes NW and hits the air mass pushing down from the north.

[Dorset_Weather]

Temps here 0.8 and light rain at the moment.

looks like the M5 has reopened.
