Yeh I didn't see any sleet in UWE, hoping the snow is on its way!

[Dartmoor_Matt]

No snow, all rain, so much rain... rain on the brain! It still all white out there tho, 24 hours of rain and still the snow stays! Gotta love it.

[Iceberg]

The TAF at Bristol has recorded light rain snow

I did reply to your question earlier-

12z ( t9) sees the wrap around air Moving SW-

more like between 8-12 for you Matt-

Today is the 8th consecutive day with snow cover. It really is strange to look out at very heavy rain falling with the ground still white with snow :lol: .

Obviously Mullender your reports are quite key to the goings on in the SW- Your elevation will be the first, as will the higher elevation in wales-

I reakon you will be reporting in some snow flakes around 5-6 pm ish-

Keep em coming-

Great, now the BBC and GFS have the precip moving away more rapidly from my area. Looks as soon as it turns to snow it goes away and goes dry! Typical.

[Tommyyy]

Glad to see all the usually people are here (:

rain all day but it has been noticeable getting colder throughout the day

PE outside ... that's against my human rights surely?

just skimmed through the posts so many people are going to see rain turning to snow around 5-6pm ish ?

EDIT: haha just read the morisons thing.. no milk or bread in spar ... really in this day and age i think you have more panic buy options people LIKE CARRROTS ;]

V.Heavy rain here, now, in north BTL.

Latest BBC News 24 forecast a minute or so ago now predicting arrival of snow past 8.00pm for BTL area; slighty later than was forecast a couple of hours ago.

As others have just reported on this thread, seems like it's not going to hang around too long either. Earlier forecasts seemed to indicate a good 6 hours of the white stuff!

Yeah, just seen that :huh: quite sleety here now though and a lot colder B)

Well its looking as cold as it was before- transition time a little later on-?- the SE has a window of midnight till 6am, so I guess maybe 10-4am-

Obviously these are estimates-

Keep an eye on thye PPN though, its still not going as for North as some would like, remember there will be an inflection point- where it starts pulling SE-
