Area of 'pink' getting bigger on the radar as it continues to move NE.

The blob over Cornwall hasn't moved either, somewhere is getting some snow, and quite heavy to.

Really quite windy here, temp +0.6 still no big thaw so far, the snow seems to have shrunk and compacted rather than dripped, level surfaces retaining about 4 inches - hoping it gets topped up later rather than washed away.

0.9c in Warminster and that's a drop from 1.1c half an hour ago. There is a very slow thaw of lying snow but still a good 2 inches laying. The wind is bitter and very gusty from the SE.

I would expect the intensity of the precipitation to drop as the band moves ENE through the afternoon, but maybe not over the moors.

Nice update and sky news going for snow over high ground initially and then increasingly to snow overnight everywhere...

Getting closer...

Jase, the snow over your way looks like showers ahead of the main front, but its coming!

It's not often you see so much red and even the odd bit of white on the BBC radar! There is some serious PPN mixed in with this system. Seems to be coming Eastwards at a fair rate of knots as well.

The Dorset snowshield may well have its work cut out on the higher ground today!

Must be very close to me here in Shebbear.

What happened to the nice raintoday radar which showed if it's rain or snow? It's all one colour now boo-hoo. Is there any free radar that shows the type of ppn?

First Flash warning out for Heavy Snow in Devon, The first of many I think.

The band is moving further eastwards than it should be for this time of the day, so far.....

Here's hoping, maybe we can get a covering up here in land :air_kiss:

I am not trying to ramp, but precip rates of upto 30cm of snow an hr are mixed in with the. More widespread are precip rates of 10cms an hr.

This is the kind of event that brings motorways and roads to a total stand still within mins.

Something for those travelling during rush hour to bare in mind as it moves eastwards.

Ramp away Iceberg... this is pretty heavy and the radar shows I'm just on the edge of it.

I can see why the met are going for drifting, the wind has really picked up from the ESE now...

Blimey.

We have heavy driving horizontal snow. Assuming this continues we're heading for a whiteout. School is about to be shut.

p.s. I always predicted this would be a snow event :air_kiss:

Looks like a good night for you guys, though the band looks exactly on time according to the GFS.

According to the 06Z NAE the Precip rates should be nowhere near what is being shown on radar, I can easily say that the NAE totals will be surpassed in at least Devon and Somerset.

It's travelling quickly though, should be in Exeter in approx 1 hrs time which is 1 or 2 hrs ahead of schedule.
