BBC Weather local just said the SouthWest might get a dusting of snow tonight

I don't know what temp it is near you, but here it is 3.9c, only dropping very very slowly.

Can't see it snowing here.

Well i'm a bit more pleased with the latest model runs now than I was for the last couple of days. A chance of a bit of ppn crossing over Thursday night/Friday which would definitely be snow as it would be cold enough with 850's around -10C.

Then some ok charts at the weekend which could bring some snow showers into western areas more. If the latest GFS chars verified there would be a band of sleet/snow pushing south on Saturday evening, then also the chance of some snow showers coming into western areas on Sunday etc with winds turning more NW with 850's around -8C - -10C and again it would be cold enough.

It is looking a bit more marginal until Thursday night/Friday but a few places may well get a bit mostly over higher ground though perhaps tomorrow evening being a chance of this.

After this it may break down with winds turning to the SW, or we may stay colder with the lows slipping to the south or there is just a chance we could get a low in the right place in the channel!

Of course details will change esp. into the weekend and beyond but im feeling a little more optimistic now. And if we dont get snow ill still be happy with cold and frosty weather which i like aswell.

Good to see a few light sleet/snow reports in parts of the south now :unsure:

The reason is you have alot more ppn still around further south. mine is very slight in fact just about clear now although a couple of snow grains within it.

Yep todays 12Z have been a big update for the SW, particularly the ECM which wasn't much good this morning.

UKMETO take alot of precip Wed night thursday morning into the SW, the hills could see a couple of cm's as long as it sticks.

Definately not rain out there now. The sleet is starting to get heavier now! Be good to see some proper decent size flakes though over the next few days! :)

Metcheck have got Dorset down for heavy sleet on Monday and then Heavy Snow on Tuesday?? But unfortunately Metcheck have been useless at forecasting sleet and snow over the past few years!!

YES A CHANNEL LOW always creat's a massive dumping for the West country..

Wishful thinking at this stage

i can remember many yrs Cornwal and Devon getting a pasting from a Low down South

My first skiing trip was to the Pyrenees and was more scrapping down on the ice than skiing, so the next trip was to the Canadian Rockies for a snowfest :)
