[Sainsbo]

The whole band has disappeared in the space of 15 mins. can anyone explain?

It's not gone, just fizzling out I think. it's been doing so for the past hour or two when it came over Wales.

No - and NAE has been a bit hit & miss lately.

Don;t use the raintoday radar, it has its place but the best radar to use is the netweather one, it's very cheap, easy to use and correct

Ok, as reported, snowing in Bridgwater. I am shocked I have to say.

0.5 C in Poole,no sign of PPN of any sort as yet!

[fergieweather]

Upper forcing overruning the front now as it tracks east so it'll continue to weaken substantially. Tomorrow's rain set to arrive into M5 corridor circa 9am.

[offerman]

My radar showing the same, fizzled out but later frame forecast showing heavy showers changing to snow possibly overnight.

[Bristawl Si]

Wednesday coming into play for south west, according to latest GFS run, as reported in mod disc thread just now.

[fergieweather]

No - and NAE has been a bit hit & miss lately.

No: it's been spot-on with 18z run in the rapid frontolysis. See post above.

[karlos1983]

oh, well may as well turn the street lamps out in Poole then lol

[AWD]

Look what the 18z shows for Devon on Wednesday;

Another small shift eastwards with that front.

[offerman]

Batch in to southwest 6th frame.

[sherrie]

snowing again in Axminster, really wasnt expecting it too

[dancing daisy]

No: it's been spot-on with 18z run in the rapid frontolysis. See post above.

But the NAE shows snow all over the SW at midnight which spells lots of snow to me. Or am I being thick?

Hi,

Can anybody confirm whether it has snowed near Newbury, Berkshire tonight as I have not been online for a while and I need to go to sleep.

The radar suggests there may well have been a few flakes about.

[textmum]

Small scattering of snow here on the car, not sure what time it fell but between 7pm and 9 pm!

[dec10snow]

No: it's been spot-on with 18z run in the rapid frontolysis. See post above.

So do you think it'll be correct regarding the midnight snowfall? Thanks for your time as I know your a busy man

You're lucky you got anything in the first place!

[snow-witch]

Tiny snow flakes falling here in bulford wilts. Only a matter of time snow witch!

So near yet so far - still not snowing here!

[karlos1983]

uhh hmmm........

[Milli Bar]

Updated Met Office forecast has changed my heavy snow forecast to sleet

[gottolovethisweather]

Well we have very very very light snow in Newbury ... Barely see it. Only the security light can pick it up.

Thanks PB, I haven't been online tonight but it seems I can claim a snow day, albeit a snow dandruff day.

Whatever, snow is snow and plenty more to come for most of us in the coming week and possibly beyond.
