Heavy snow here, big flakes

[03jtrickey]

I think you've been somewhat spoilt recently and don't appreciate the white stuff anymore!

Yes, I think you're right there!!

My standards have been raised somewhat by the last snowfall. Hoping for more proper snow this weekend/next week sometime.

Still it's nice to see it falling. It's currently light - if it was rain it would be a steady drizzle. Enough to be noticeable but far from being disruptive or giving much accumulation.

showers heading for bristol i hope

Big flakes have just started to fall.. me excited? lol

Quiet on here again tonight.Is it me or is it only ever busy on these boards when snowfalls due hm

hi ya... tiss quiet tonight .. nothing really to say, same old thing, warmer tonight -3.. Still unsure if we are going to get any snow over the weekend and by we i mean North Devon. Truth is every weather report i see says something different, most seem to be going with rain or sleet. But the GOOD news is i got my MILK ... so tea and coffee all round

Does anyone now if this precipitation will intensify when it gets into the Bristol channel? still most most unexpected but great all the same.

[yipikiaye]

[lostobsessed]

[Wynn D Woo]

Light to moderate snow here - the driveway which i had cleared is starting to look white again.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

the snow seemed to have disappeared and reappeared when it had gone past me

[Devon-Nelly]

Day 3 of lying snow here, although theres isn't any down in town hardly where people have been walking about on it alot and where theres been grit. But still most areas have either an inch to half cover which is truly remarkable for here.

In regards to Sunday i can't help but have a hunch that the channel may provide some big instability and provide some areas with heavier spells of snow, im assuming this is why west devon and cornwall have been mentioned to have heavy snow late on sunday but i think anywhere on the receiving end of the wind off the channel or even just the coastlines could get localised heavy snow.

I mean you just have to look at the precipitation thats hits the channel this week, it intensifys rapidly and the channel islands and cornwall have taken a pounding from this. I could be reading into it too much and just hopecasting but i still thinks its a possibilty.

Anyhows back to today again and we've had the coldest day so far with it only reaching 0.2c today (which i'd class an ice day) but only reaced down to -2.5c this morning, currently -1.6c.

[cirendaz]

snowing here in cirencester
