South West England Cold Spell Discussion

[dogs32]

lol, now you're just showing off dogs!! :winky:

LOL...now normal speed :unsure:

[lfcdude]

snow flakes are now getting bigger just very light

[kold weather]

I can only back up what Ian has said in that whoever does get the bullseye is probably looking at 15-18hrs over a 36-48hrs period but even across a bigger region we are probably looking at 4-8 inches IMO...and thats across a big chunk of southern England...

I'm willing to bet any money this is how Boxing day 62 evolved...

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Not much here,

Infact nada falling now... the next non event?

dogs: is that how much you've had in how long? Doesn't seem alot compared to what fell in Feb in an hour?

[lfcdude]

on that note its gettin heavy and starting to seatel

[03jtrickey]

REALLY pleased with one of my pics, going to send to BBC and see what happens, I think it captures the atmosphere and severity of the snowfall, and it was close to its height... will show you in a minute or too... uploading...

[Devon-Nelly]

Easing off here now but still sleeting/snowing lightly we've had all the precipitation types today lol. Snow this morning then rain and hail, then sleet which kept flicking between sleet and snow.

Temp. 2.3c DP 2c.

Where abouts is tonights snowfall supposed to be developing/arriving from?

[Snowman15]

LOL Heavy rain shower just passing through here in Dorset! - What happened to snow!

[Bethany C]

Nothing in Bristol, Filton at the moment, might try and do some revising... or not

[dogs32]

snow getting heavy again

[Snowcherries]

3.3 in christchurch at mo, dp 0.6. Still a bit of a way to go yet, i believe snow hasn't settled in christchurch since 1991, so this could be something really special.

[Dartmoor_Matt]

Nothing in Bristol, Filton at the moment, might try and do some revising... or not

or not would be the easiest answer

Nothing here either, temp around freezing and pretty overcast but the threatening clouds seem to have moved off east.

[Jayfromcardiff]

snow getting heavy again

Will it snow in Cardiff?

[SteveB]

Nowt here in Nailsea or Weston, when is it supposed to get bad, or are some places going to miss out?

[JonGill]

Had about 1cm here, largely melted, but has remained on surfaces that were frozen.

[dogs32]

I think people need to remember what Ian said,also this is a developing situ,

we have HRS AHEAD of development...18hr-48

Hi everyone,

As I live on the south coast (Portsmouth) I can share in some of your frustrations - the clouds are getting black here but it's too mild to be anything other than rain (what a surprise!) Our local forecast also shows rain so at least they've got it right.

For those who are experiencing fantastic snowfall, sit back and enjoy. I was lucky enough to visit the north midlands over the new year and it snowed 4 inches in a couple of hours and I was in complete awe so I know how it feels! Trouble is, leaves you wanting more!

[Snowfan50]

Looking at the forecasts there is some very lucky people in the east counties of the south west, I just hope it moves further west through the night to north devon.

Just back from Stonehouse where thick covering lay went over Birdlip hill pretty heavy there but reckon was deeper on the M5 side.

Stopped snowing about 5 miles from Swindon but now started here.

Car thermo 0C.
