Just dropping in to say good luck to you all. I'm sure we're all going to get battered by this event. Latest NAE shows some uber snow for your region too.

As far as the current temps are concerned, don't worry too much. I'm in the METO red bullseye and i've still got +3.1C.

[DanDorsetUK]

Due point risen to 0.7 now, Temps still not droped here 5.1oc

[Mumbles]

When is it going to hit here? Want to sleep. But so excited for a snow day...please please please let it be a snow day!

[iowpompeylee]

Game on, chain reaction happening , very close now! 10 miles away.

wonderful picture lol

[khodds]

Temp has started dropping.... I repeat temp has started dropping.... 3.0c now.....

[SupaSnowy]

Well i'll be up all night with my knowledge, not sure if that will help. But i have been doing this for a long time for a 28 year old. The 18Z NAE looks good for us in Hampshire. Not long till we find out.

[Fred Sykes]

Temp 2C, Currently light rain/sleet. Getting worried. I wish this horrible little feature would blow away and let the temps go down before the real PPN comes in! Its made the temps go up, plus the surfaces are wet which means any snow won't settle as quick! ggrrrr

[AWD]

Turning to rain from Bristol southwestwards by midnight Saturday, albeit again, light & patchy;

Infact, pretty much non existent by then;

[Beast of Plympton]

well its dropped to 4.3 so you never know

Whats the temp up your way?

Its 1.2c here.... Perfect for big snow!!

[alijoe]

Isn't that picachu in the middle of that

lol, that comment has certainly tickled my fancy, can't stop laughing here.

[wallopweather]

This sleet rain around here giving the gritting lorries a nightmare, they've been through twice already tonight on the A343 but IMO it looks like there's enough water around to wash it away again. Going to big ice problems

[PompeyFC]

Apparently quite a few trains have already been cancelled for tomorrow......

the main routes apparently will be open according to nat rail enquiries

[divadee]

On that note and once again, thanks Ian.

Guys and gals, moving on from the jokes that I requested, very much appreciated, however...................................

With Ian's post above, having me on the edge of my seat, let us have those Temperatures reports thick and fast.

I would especially like to hear the reports from the South Coast and any subsequent Dewpoint readings and lamp-post reports are always welcome.

5.1c and 0 dp

[Beast of Plympton]

Anyone know where I can find the dew point temp for my area??

Pretty much the same give or take a few mm.

Blimey is that the time. Beauty sleep calling.

See you on the other side.

[twister2005]

[OldMetMan]

Game on, chain reaction happening , very close now! 10 miles away.

I am finding this remarkable. I can't recall ever seeing snow developing in this way - and that's saying something!

[TheHumph]

lol, that comment has certainly tickled my fancy, can't stop laughing here.

That's twice tonight you've tickled someone's fancy Jackone! What After Shave do you use???

Still light snow here. Temp 0.6c.
