[jonlu69]

The ice flakes are getting bigger!

They certainly are mate..

[Smarty 81]

Wet snow 10 mins ago has now quicky turned to the proper stuff and is now starting to pitch quite readily.

A good 3/4inches by the end of the night I reckon Cold air is undercutting quickly

[Nights King]

Well this is a total let down I'm getin despondent! Still light sleet on mendip hills. Running out of time!

Anywhere from 2cm to 5cm widely, and possibly up to 10cm in worst affected areas going by the forecasts.

[gloucesterlad]

Heavy period of sleet thats settled on car roofs. Now. Big flakes ! Have the faith :-)

John in Quedgeley, Gloucester

[EXETER]

I want this again

But it's still 3deg so I don't think I'll see any this year

[Smarty 81]

Snow getting progressivley heavier last few mins....

[Mark Parsons]

Snowing in in Sydling St Nicholas just South of Yeovil I've just been informed and temp is falling here now 1.4 from 1.8 a couple of hours ago!!

[wimblettben]

I think we maybe starting to get actual snow here now as it is just beginning to settle.

[Schmac]

Just as the heavy stuff was about to hit here (according to the NW radar), it all turned to freezing rain!

Couldn't write this stuff!

[dancing daisy]

Our temp has dropped away to 0c and so has our dewpoint. The sky is bright orange as well.

[kumquat]

Rain getting sleetier in Winterbourne BS36. Signs from 'up north' starting to look better - hope it turns soon.
