South West England Cold Spell Discussion

[Bethany C]

Had a couple of showers starting about 11 this morning, only light and lasting a few minutes. Then we got a heavy one at 12, and another one at 1 which both started settling bu it's stopped now.

Stopped snowing here, but the fir trees on the hills look rather funky.

very heavy RAIN in poole, pathetic

Dont panic like someone said your just getting bits coming off the channel but brace yourself for whats going to occur this evening VERY HEAVY SNOW!!

Check out the meto RED WARNING totally unheard of down here if this pans out as they say it will make any snowfall of the 1980;s look like a mere dusting could be nearly 2ft of snow I really hope this comes off.Is This really going to happen???????????

[Bethany C]

SteveB - A lot of the schools in cornwall have been closed today.

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Here you go.

Cheers mate,

Odd, as its definately not snowing at the moment, looks like we have had the worst then!

Whats the forecast for the rest of the day, and night?

[Lyn-M]

Light rain here in the NW of Dorset close to the Somerset border/Yeovil.

[Devon-Nelly]

Turning to snow now some bigish flakes coming down, temp 2.9c DP 2c come on!

[Jayfromcardiff]

Cardiff sucks lol, feel like moving.

[NickSomerset]

Just trying to understand where the snow will come from..... Is it the rain showing in the channel now that is gonig to be dragged up to the SW?

Really want to know what to keep an eye on...

I personally dont believe that it is going too, it simply is not cold enough. Its absolutely ridiculous! We have 4 nights of at least -5 and nearly -10 last night with -7c uppers and it bloody rains, if the coldest spell in 25 years cant even bring snow here then i give up im moving!!!

[dogs32]

CRAP here mate lol, had 1cm and all melted now.

best snow Ive seen in my life...consistent heavy falls..

#If this rubbish interent was working I WILL put more pics up.But I think parts of Glos Might be on overload...

3 inches in my front I think...still snowing moderatly...but not Siberian (lol) now more like English moderate snow

They did say it would start as rain or sleet but the main band hasnt even arrived from the north yet so I wouldnt worry too much,once it all meets up is when the snow starts and then it just keeps wrapping around giving more snow.well in theory anyway but still looking good even on the coast.

[Devon-Nelly]

Proper sleet here now, almost turning fully to snow at times.

[Bethany C]

Snowing again, gone very dark. Small flakes but quite heavy.

[Jayfromcardiff]

1.00pm ish..

I'm jealous lol, no snow for here.

[Bristawl Si]

1.00pm ish..

Dogs, is that heavy stuff you've had going to reach us anytime soon do you reckon?
