1.5 degrees at Filton airfield (NE Bristol/S.Gloucs) at 11 o'clock.

Cloud cover has slowly been increasing here during the morning, from the NW. I shall take that as a positive sign!

I'm in Filton (work) and a light snow shower fell at 11:00 - at 1.5C - so bodes well.

Awaiting a heavier band now though it does seem to be fizzling somewhat from the West.

Light snow again now

RED weather warning on Met office for south..!!! OMG!!

no details as yet but Glos not included :yahoo:

Edit:

There is a high risk of an extreme weather event affecting parts of Southern England this evening and overnight. A period of exceptionally heavy snowfall is expected with accumulations of 15-30 cm and perhaps in excess of 40 cm. This is expected to cause widespread disruption to the transport network and could lead to problems with power supplies.

The public are advised to take extreme care and refer to the Highways Agency for further advice on traffic disruption on motorways and trunk roads.

I hope so.

I really hope we get more later. I have a feeling this band will not give me much.

I hope that stuff moves down, The meto have a red warning just SE of us, but i think that was meant for us last night.

Evidently its moved further SE than expected.

Its stopped snowing here. ( If thats what you can call it )
