Pompey FC - I read that on the south west forum - I think it's moving north and east. What will be will be I guess! Still raining in Portsmouth but brightening up a bit.

seeing flakes of snow in the rain well step in the right direction lol.

still not optimistic.

maybe not its raining.

Hi all - just cut and paste this from South west thread - this guy is excellent and really knows his stuff. Amazing how things can change so quickly - wouldn't be surprised if our warnings were downgraded a bit.

"Quick update from work - new NAE just arrived now wants to focus worst snowfall (20cm +) out of westcountry by around 50NM northeast, into Berks, Surrey and Bucks, including threatening Heathrow.

Some degree of wrap around back for parts of Wilts / Glos / Bristol / Bath areas around midnight onwards to 06Z in new run but I can't see the original totals being attained for our districts, frankly. I believe UKMO now considering amendments to the current flash warning to cater for new run.

About to hold conference call with UKMO so will hear the composite viewpoint soon. "

No. The main stuff is not going to emerge until later this evening. Watch and see what lunacy breaks out past midnight and through tomorrow!

Oh dear. Rain turning to heavy sleet now.

I just heard snow in Winch, if you look at the 4pm radar it looks like the rain is starting to pivot

The latest models have only shifted the heaviest falls (35cm) NE'wards, our area still looks likely to receive the same amounts that were being predicted before... and for most of us on the coast it will not start falling as snow until the early hours...

Absolutely chucking it down in Portsmouth (with rain I hasten to add!). Also raining in Hayling Island but mum's going to give me a weather report from Horndean when she gets home but I doubt it's much different. The threat has moved to Guildford/Surrey region now - their weather forecast looks quite scary actually (1ft of snow etc)

Sunnysouthcoast - don't worry - we knew there was a strong possibility of things changing right to the last minute so doesn't mean they can't change again!

I'm just hoping it is the BBC's unreliable graphics, I'm sure we will still see some snow, how much though is probably questionable now...
