Well looking at the radar we shud be getting something right now!? i dont get it?? Im staying up until midnight n if its not here by then im off to kip..depressed

[windseeker]

Probably because the cloud is a bit thicker. I noticed this afternoon that the temp DROPPED half a degree when the sun came out - weird. Now, as I said, I think we will see some wind shifts which may affect what happens on the coast. Shame it's dark because it would be possible to tell a lot more from the low cloud motion.

The wind along the coast is shifting to a more NE direction and hence temps are dropping slightly which is good news for you guys down there. try this website http://www.bramblemet.co.uk

Drastically improved here. Went from o/10 to 5/10 in about 5 mins! Hoping this keeps up for a few hours and doesn't turn to sleet or rain!

I am praying it's still there in the morning so my new wedding present of a sledge will get his first outing!!

precip is dying out as it reaches south coast

[SunnySouthCoast]

Snowing heavier now, but still small flakes, doesn't seem to be settling, it's melting as soon as it hits the ground in my garden, maybe down to temperature as still 2.2C here

Now it's getting heavier!

The grass is definitely looking white so maybe a couple more cms if it continues for a while.

It's not, very heavy in Southampton and it's also snowing on the IOW.

Ditto although it's now started to try and settle on the wheelies. Temp here still 1.6

There's always one to spoil the general atmosphere. Go watch your lamp-post and not your radar for a change.

Hi OMM - what affects do you expect the wind shifts to have?

[Purplepixii]

agree

[iowpompeylee]

Zilch here.....

[Polar Bear]

looks as though Oxf may get a little easing for a bit before off she goes again.

[gottolovethisweather]

Zilch here.....

YET!

[SunnySouthCoast]

Flakes a bit bigger now

[gottolovethisweather]

[cazbym]

Slightly heavier and laying.

That's hardly fair! All PFC is doing is reporting on his lack of snow, as am I. And yes, I have a lamp post outside and there's sweet fa falling!

And other members are actually reporting snow falling in PORTSMOUTH. That is precisely why I put this emoticon alongside the post to which you refer. Furthermore, Polar Bear's radar grab suggests you would be damn UNFORTUNATE not to get any snow.

[PompeyFC]

[Duane S.]

Hardly anything where I am at work though, just north of Dorchester. Been a few bits floating around for the past couple of hours. Interesting few hours coming up for some hopefully

[Rustynailer]

Its now -1c with diamond dust snow, perfect individual flakes, reflecting the house lights just like diamonds, I feel childlike and happy always do if it snows below zero, that melting before it's finished snowing feeling is not there at all...
