Snow Watch: Cymru And South West England

[Dorset_Weather]

Temp has droped from 1.8 to 0.5 in the last hour but feel it's to little to late as after 10mins of snow it looks like the last of the precip, unless the precip that is north of us starts to sink south.

Wind sounds like it's getting stronger.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Stopped here now. I think it moved on a lot quicker than it was supposed to, so a bit of a let down.

[Nights King]

snow has become moderate again now just as we are about to enter the clear zone to the west lol

I expect a thaw tomoro but after we have had a good frost on it i expect snow on mendips to last well into maybe even the weekend if we get clearish days to allow temp to stay low and hard frosts.

who knows maybe winter 2009 will through something even better at us yet? i have a feeling the white stuff may be back yet

[Moonstar]

From a low of 1C earlier with sleet and wet snow the temp has now risen to 2.5C - What is going on???! :lol:

[smarty81]

lovely covering here now.still fairly heavy.got some nice night shots...

I don't care now if I don't see any more snow this year.Im Truly content of what we have had

Yes I totally agree we couldn't have asked for more over the last week with snow falling every night and every day since last sunday.

quite exceptional I might add, with some respectable snow depths for most you certainly can't say it's been a flash in the pan.

Snow extremely light now in the last hour leaving a 3cm covering

Well what a night Not as bad as forecast, but was snowing heavy here from about 6pm. It started sticking around 7 in the valley. Looked pretty deep down there, but underneath was slush. Had it not been so wet prior we'd be up to our necks in snow lol. However as I walked home from work (which took me 3 times as long due to slipping all the time) it has stuck pretty well where I live, maybe because it's higher up and all the days snow melt run down the mountain to help form the " of slush . Snowing very slightly now, but we had a good dumping, shame we had the rain first all day though

What happend to the Winter Storm? What happend to the snow?

Complete NON-EVENT for the whole country again.

[dogs32]

lovely snow covering here last night..certainly a event for us..

Melting now fast..

some places without power due to power lines down.

And floods in quite a few places.......

now where is spring

[welshawb123]

Non event for Bridgend in South Wales, nothing but some rain. Glad I didnt stay up for this one. Glad some people managed to get some snow out of this.

[Wosser]

I suppose a 60% chance of gales heavy snow gives you a 40%chance of bugger all

Just got up and our snow from last night has all but melted. To be fair the forecast last night did indicate temps would rise after the heavy snowfall and turn to rain.

Last night's snow was very slushy....v.high water content.

The higher up you were the better the snow.

[Rich_Clements]

I think my standards have risen over the past week as we had three inches last night which left me thinking what a none event, and as BB says there's nowt in Bristol.

[snowking]

Well we had about 7cma before it was done here last night, about half of that has melted since, but snowing lightly again now

Looks like another band of mainly light snow forming across NW wales

Yeah we have a week of frosts ahead of us which puts us into the third week of Feb, winter is starting to run out now for anything prolonged. If we get no further snow fall I will not be disapointed as this winter has been the best for years and years and I have really enjoyed it.

[dogs32]

lots of flooding in places..........

I personally wont Spring now..It was a good fortnight of excitement..now bring on Spring which isn't far away

lots of power problems around glos in numerous places

Well it snowed for a bit last night, gave a covering. Was hoping for it to still be there this morning, but it has all gone.

I think thats it for snow, but I still would like it to stay cold, just so we can record a sub 3c Month.

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Any snow that fell last night has indeed melted, but the snow from thursday lives on! (well, its on its last legs, but definately still there at the moment)

Its now clear and sunny, but the wind is still pretty strong

[jo200199]

Well some dangerous driving conditions down in the valley. The foot of slush last night has inevitably turned the roads into a ice rink, never seen ice so thick on the roads Not sure if you'll need your ski's here today as you will defo need your ice skates The snow up by me has lasted the night though

Slush

Here is either white snow or dry, guess that'll be the wind drying everything up, reckon it'll all go today though.

I think you're right it will all be gone today, temps are very balmy.

[jo200199]

The skies are blue and the sun is out, still very cold though. Think this snow may last the day, but the college is open unlike last week Guess I can't put off my essays any longer

[Bethany C]

I didn't think it would have all melted but it has. And my snowman is looking a little aneamic. Bring on the spring!

Exactly the same here. Still plenty lying around on the grass, shed/garage roofs etc. Mind you, it had frozen solid, hadn't it?

On this basis, I am now on consecutive day 9 of lying snow, from 4 major falls. How totally delightful! All the difficulties of driving in it, clearing the drive/pavement and road 'cos I couldn't get the car on the drive, plus my car problems, are all forgotten and just the nice bits of the whole snow experience remain!

Wouldn't say "No" to some more, though.............

[Dartmoor_Matt]

I have to side with sabrina I'm afraid... time for some good, warm weather for a change! I can almost smell the BBQ...
