Same here, but with different regions. I'm covered by South Western Ambulance Service, I'm in the South West EU Parliament Constituency, but my local news is provided by BBC South! South Central is a pretty nondescript term, so I think I'll use South West! :D

i would of thought we will see a light snow covering tonight..

sleet slipping south and turning to snow

Could be one where a bit of altitude will make all the difference, we are too low here in Gloucester but looking at the DPs locally its all a bit confusing as they are ranging from 1 to 4C and a couple which are virtually next to each other are reading 2 and 4C respectively at Staverton. :whistling:

Will be keeping an eye on this one though to night

Not sure it'll get this far west, but you should be good for a few flakes!

Sounds good from here! :nonono:

As for tonight, it could be an interesting one. Caught the BBC South bulletin at lunchtime, said snow over the hills, yet the precipitation depicted was rain, forecast to fall at temps of -1! Might get a few sleet showers in Dorset, we'll wait and see, I'm not holding my breath for anything exceptional...yet!

Over the years it always turn's out different.

Like W09 said on another thread I think we have a good chance of snow this week.

need to confirm...

I must add VERY small bits
