:lazy: snowing yet anyone..lol

I have to get to my postoffice..Going to have to walk,will take my camera with me..

Well ive been out and had a proper look here in the back garden (which is a bit sheltered) and theres 16cm with some light snow still to come

I imagine the more open areas nearer the racecourse will have nearer 20cm

Cleeve hill - i'd love to imagine! Will head up there a bit later

SK

16cm - crazy!

Although it does look deeper out the other side of the house. I'm wondering whether there is less depth in the garden (10cm) because of being sheltered. Heading off soon to explore!

My partner is from Christchurch. She thinks Stroud is the North of England! Here she is setting out earlier. Her car is currently abandoned in Cirencester some 12 miles away.

You reckon it's cold enough to settle here? Come on snow!!!

Little flurries of snow now falling here. May get an intense flurry soon by the look of things. Will it settle though?

Very heavy precip moving in on you now - all snow - shouldn't have any problem sticking.

OMG, about time! Is the Weymouth snow shield about to finally retract! I expect the Weymouth snow-to-rain convertor will be armed and in place when it passes us by shortly though!

[Snowcherries]

in boscombe temp is 0.8 dp is -0.8 so yeah should stick if all local temps are consistant

Snow starting to blow about now in front of the main band approaching from the North... anothre 4 inches would to nicely ta.

Going to walk up to Easdon Tor later and see what the view around south east Dartmoor is. White I'm going to guess.

I've just heard it's snowing at the Ferndown Industrial estate

[Somerset Squall]

Been snowing really heavily again over the past half hour, must of added another cm. Flakes are smaller now but still snowing moderately. Temperture is bang on 0C.

That first snow shower stopped quickly but what did fall settled everywhere a bit like icing sugar on a cake.Hope that wasn't all!

[microclimate]

Anybody know what is happening to the low pressure? GFS has it sinking south (good for my location) and BBC N24 has it heading East.

[JonGill]

Still snowing lightly here, had about 3-4 inches.

[kumquat]

Looks like the stuff streaming in around Chelmsford may bring further (albeit light) showers to Bristol area later

[SizzlingHeat]

heavy snow in poole now beginning to settle

[Thundery wintry showers]

Good to see Exeter getting some of the white stuff again. Last winter, when I got three unexpected snow events there, I was told that there had been virtually nothing on the ground for the previous seven winters! I thought it looked promising for Exeter when I saw the radar sequence for south-west England.

[Snowkissed]

Heavy snow been falling for the last 5 mins. It looks like reloading in 10 mins according to the Radar. I am going out to play !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snowdog]

At last it's falling heavily here in Broadstone

We must have posted at the same time Karen Ann!

I'm at work on the Nuffield Ind Est - snowing reasonably heavy now. Just starting to settle.

How's Broadstone doing guys?

Opps just saw your latest post Snowdog. Bet the kids are excited.

There should be a light covering now. Could this get heavier? will the schools close? lol !

[Somerset Squall]

Looks like a cell of very heavy snow is knocking on my door looking at the radar

[Theresnoway]

Hi,

In Canford Heath it is not as heavy as it was, but still moderate and settling.

Anybody now how long this will last?
