Whereabouts in Somerset are you, Alex?

It started off as rain here then turned to frozen ice pellets (hat tip to Kumquat) then very quickly turned to snow. I don't know that it'll last all that long though, looking at the Met Office radar.

Anyone under the really heavy stuff showing as red on the net weather radar scale?

[Frosty_wsm]

And the rain continues to fall here.

It should be crossing over me in within the next 15 mins I should think.

[Bethany C]

On raintoday they are showing a very intense spot coming near to Bristol. Hopefully that should bulk up what we have already.

[Mark Parsons]

Moderate snow now and settling on cars etc.

[mike20101]

id class it as moderate just hope that big ppn signiture hits and pivots ;-)

[Dorset Splash]

Light fine snow now west of Poole. Dusting covering on grass and vegetation. Driveway and road a light dusting. Will it continue? Will it freeze hard? Will it turn to rain?

Questions, questions? My nerves are shot!

Wow, it's now crossing over me - i had rain all night and suddenly its just turned to heavy snow. Settling so fast on cars etc, pavements slowly going white and considering the ground was soaked..that's pretty fast.

How's things looking in Bristol at the moment? I think I can see the odd flake appearing amongst the drizzle now.

Great news! Fingers crossed the intense band pivots favourably.

[Wilxy]

Not long left now but got a slight covering and one last heavy bit to come through hope it stalls once it reaches here i wish

No thanks... I'll only get jealous because you've got way more in Devizes than we have here!!

Nice to hear that some are getting a half-decent dumping though!

Is it still snowing in Devizes now?...

I'm in Downend, to the NE of Bristol and it is much lighter now than it was. I think that's probably just about it for me,

I am keeping my eye on the Met Office radar. It's all heading south west, so I would think you'd get some.

It changed to snow quite quickly.

[Paul T]

Heavy snow apparently here. Just rain actually.

Unbelievable, I do believe I'm cursed. I even went to Norway (lillehammer) for a week in Jan 2009 and it didn't snow one flake...

LOL! So you're going to keep the neighbours up with a 500w floodlight then!

I think that's fair enough personally!... I'd do the same if the council turned my streetlamp off!

The street light outside here might as well go out lol all that's falling past it is rain, at a stretch I could say its ever so sleety every now and again.
