South West England Cold Spell Discussion

[lian]

Is it my imagination but it seems to me these showers coming from the ne seem to intensify the further west they get. Or should I have gone to Specsavers lol.

No i noticed that also

[SilverWolf]

Yeah it was strange.

I was standing outside watching, Then suddenly i could hear heavy rain, But it was still snowing.

So i stood inthe snow and was getting soaked but also getting snowed on.

VERY odd.

Probably freezing rain..

Something similar happened here. I think melted and re-frozen snow was falling from trees because of the increased wind. You near any trees?

[clara_cluck]

Very light snow just started in Horfield

[kumquat]

heavier very small flakes (Oxymoron? lol) now in Winterbourne

[Jayfromcardiff]

Still no snow here lol.

[Wynn D Woo]

Odd flurry now but pretty much the end of the show, snow band deposited around 0.5cm of snow and temperature is currently -4.3C with a dew point of -5.1C

Still no snow here lol.

Id say 5 to 10 mins max it will be there. Good luck. From snowless Poole.

[biggiemauls]

The odd snowflake falling here..

[Bristawl Si]

Light snow here.

I think 'the man upstairs' just shook his head!

[SilverWolf]

no i was standing in the road lol

Just a thought! Thought I'd solved a mystery -

[Valhalla]

The odd snowflake falling here..

Snowing lightly in Brislington, Bristol

[Jayfromcardiff]

I think we could see a few inches Sunday even if it's light snow.

[Lynxus]

Just a thought! Thought I'd solved a mystery -

It only lasted a minute or so. The flakes turned to fine ice and rain. then the rain stopped and teh snow got bigger again.

Considering its -3.3 here, it is odd

All over here.. for now very nice though... Come back!

[yipikiaye]

snowing here now heavier than i thought it would be.Left a dusting on cars etc still not finished yet i shall update in a bit.But suprised thought id miss it looking at the radar

[Schmac]

Covering themselves i'm afraid. MO release warnings for all areas, knowing full well only some areas will get it.

Well, that's just pants!

I can't believe that that huge pink area of snow (on the NW radar) just went either side of Trowbridge!!!

Plus, my WiFi connection keeps dropping-out...

Check out the ppn radar if you have it - the next lot over Yorkshire is meaner than this one and originates in the same place! Lets hope it has enough energy to come our way too...

[BristolBlizzard]

light snow south bristol

[Bristawl Si]

Bit heavier now; is this going to last long?

[kumquat]

Nice to see a light to moderate fall - always magical

[snowlight robbery]

Evening all,so whats's the crack with Sunday/Monday my heads spinning I can't make head or tail of it all,the charts show for continual snow but light or maybe not on the extreme Dorset and southern coasts,or will it rain,or is it now the SE,or is it now down to now forecasting on the big day.I give up time to rally round and coax Ian in with the calling drums!

[Lynxus]

The oddness of metcheck!!

Evidently its just going by the gfs or similar.

Bit off though that its sanity checking hasnt picked up the fact that its -3 and sleeting!

odd.

maybe it will be 4 days of sleet?
