According to the latest tweets on #uksnowmap it would seem that the south coast is being hit with snow first? Wasn't everyone saying earlier that the south would be lucky to get any? What does this mean for us folk further north then?

[Supercell 89]

-4.8c according to my little thermometer in the garden but it has been down to -5c already!

[Schmac]

Does anyone have an accurate temperature for Bristol?...

Wunderground says -3.6ºc, but it must be colder than that surely?...

[Supercell 89]

According to the Meto Bristol Filton is -6.5c

Great to see even far south westerners seeing snow, albeit briefly

[Paul T]

Just woke up, thought I'd check charts and update.

- front moving through faster than thought

-already bringing snow to Cornwall

-NAE charts reflect this, they seem to shift snow slightly eastwards but it purley timing differences, nothing has changed really.

-we need to harness these current lows by bring the cloud over before the sun can cause thermal heating, this should happen across most of SW

-nothing much has changed, slight improvements actually if I had to call, can't explain why- to tired

[AWD]

Shame, was hoping for another shift SW! Oh well! Should see something fall before it turns to rain! Thanks Paul

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

The south-west has quite a temperature range currently, from -10.3C in Hurn up to 8.1C on the Scilly Isles. 18C+ range is quite impressive for the whole uk in winter let alone in just one region.

Well its certainly interesting , eve n the nae charts tend to change/adjust even with 6-12 hours to go before an event, a quick question , upon the cotswolds like i am , the met at 00hrs sunday has the front about 30miles to the east of me and it tends to stay there for the night, do you think me been on high ground will help keep it as snow? Sorry to ask i dont normaly do this but im just after a bit of giudence, thanks.

Moderate snow shower here on Dartmoor, laying on driveways, trees etc. probably won't last long but nice to watch anyway. :0)
