Still -4.9C here, but rapidly rising. May see a few flakes but I think it will rain here later. Widespread ice will be more the issue IMO.

-3.4 here, got down to -8.7 last night. Gonna be an interesting camping trip for me in the mendips tonight!

I think mendips is gonna be a brief snow turning to rain event as no real mention of high ground on forecasts but why would you want to camp up here this time of year!? Where abouts are you camping?

Light snow down here near Paignton this morning, but by the reports from Cornwall can't see it being a snow event here. Bristol looks likely to get a few hours of snow according to the 6z NAE from around 16:00 until midnight - but then rain. Will it all get washed away?

Hello, just started to snow lightly in Dawlish, temp +1 but is just about settling, Amazing expected all rain for me.

[kumquat]

Actually it is a snow event right now - heavier snow (near Kingkerswell).

A friend has some land in the woods not to far away from cranmore tower, the February camp is a bit of tradition, and, as one of our group is emigrating, its going to be his last one for a long while.

I'm dreading an ice rain event the most, not at all happy about the rain either. Its always good fun to camp in the snow (honestly, with right clothes, its great.....not convincing anyone am I? LOL )

That snow line is certainly moving west, was Glouc/wilts north and eastwards and now its from Bristol/bath area, could be more westerly shifts of that snow line as the day goes on.

It's already green on the nw radar at Williton etc. this means freezing rain right?
