Looks like something's bubbled up and is headed my way on that...not that I'll be awake to see it...

It should be here in just over 1/2 an hour, will tell you all about it tomorrow.

Is it settling?

I have to say the http://www.raintoday.co.uk is looking better, turing to snow as heading towards the coast, not going to bed quiet yet!

[Sharkbait]

Strange thing with the N-W radar, when viewing as UK, the precipitation type is not correct, it seems to be accurate if switching to Euro view. Raining here by the way.

Forget that! It's just started raining/sleeting fairly heavily all of a sudden - probably a shower though...

Got snow here now with smallish flakes. Just dusting the roofs of cars as the ground is soaked from the sleet/rain earlier.

I think Feb 09 was an outrageous outlier that came off.

Feb 09, oh the days..

[LostInABlizzard]

This is 100% better than Feb 09 for me - I never saw one snowflake during that event.

That is a very interesting difference...

If Paul is reading, I would be very interested to hear about why this is different?

Thanks

[butler_son]

[yipikiaye]

[LostInABlizzard]

ok - you woke me up - congrats on the snow - is it heavy or what? LOL

[yipikiaye]

yeah started off reallly fine now getting big and pitching on the ground even though we had rain

have you had anything there

[LostInABlizzard]

I had the rain then it turned to snow - seems to have frozen over now as there are patches of snow still on the pavement and the cars. Nothing great so far though - but maybe it will build up if we keep getting these showers passing through - here's hoping!

[Nights King]

Well another poor afair for the west country! A dusting of snow but it doesnt even cover the ground really. Just looked at the meto update and it looks like a large down grade has been made on our monday! (sunny spells all day)

Cold and frosty though -4.5 and still falling

[Evening thunder]

What is is with a NW wind coming across the Irish sea and still not a single shower wants to develop and move into the SW!! yet three packing into Wales (with less of a sea track!) and the NW :doh:

Bloody ell something really does have it in against us!!!

Frosty and icy -2c with some ice patches left from last nights rain/freezing rain

I know what you mean. I would have thought devon and corn inland areas especially would get a pasting from showers.

I am waiting for showers to form pushing up bristol channel to hit somerset but it is a long shot i feel.

Cold this morning. temp has fallen again -5.2c

[Nights King]
