That ppn that is pivoting round towards west country is fizzling out.

Its moving east and pivoting anti clockwise slightly but fizzling out so im not sure if our area will see much from this?

Cheers, not alot down this way!

The guys doing the filming today were a tad soaked by the end of the morning! That and with the road being blocked (I think it still is) made them a lil grumpy Not everyone knows the backroads... thankfully, as they are so narrow! (and thats coming from someone that lives down a single track road!)

Yep, looking at the radar, not much more to come!

The day started off so promising as well, with huge flakes falling for most of the morning in Bath (up by the racecourse).

Any more to come this weekend?... I wonder...

I'd like to say I have had enough and give up looking but I just can't do it!

The more winter weather i see the more I want to see!

I thought after last febs epic event I would be satified and my love for snow would be muted but hell was I wrong!

I only have 2 bottles of katy left so I might have to take a trip up to my local later. They have natch, Thatchers, Old rosie, blackthorn and westerns as well as one real strong dodgy one i cannot remember all on tap!

Look again very sleety even the off wet flake of snow ~ 2C now at Ash brake N Swindon

[twister2005]

[kev238]

about 4cm of snow in longford (outskirts of Gloucester)-- and heavy snow falling now-- cant be too much more to come. There was a huge different in conditions between Cheltenham and Gloucester earlier this afternoon when I was travelling on train!

[slinky1989]

Nope. Looked again and it's just light rain down here by coate water.

[robnor1]

And now Coate water person?

It is snowing properly here oh how excited can you get with few flakes of wet snow oh well needs must.

[slinky1989]

And still rain now!

[Nights King]

That ppn to the west is not even getting past the bristol channel before evaporating into thin air.

[slinky1989]

Ahhhh now we have sleet, getting interesting now

[Bristawl Si]

Nothing here....in fact nothing since about 2ish.

Disappointing in a way, because i understand only 10 miles north they've had a couple of inches of lying snow.

It all looked so promising this morning, but it's just damp, cold and miserable.

What happened to the snow deluge forecast for around rush hour?
