My guess is it is slowing up and bunching up as ppn catches the up from back then its went to sit around for a while.

Just coming into a nice heavy band

Your right mate, it's very frustrating reading through post after post with ppl worrying , have the bbc not got this one spot on with the timing and everything?? Yes, so why not just relax , and enjoy the one thing we spend all summer waiting for ?? Just chill out guys , stop been obsessed with the radar because it changes every half hour, and things develop out of nowhere .

Just been for a quick spin in the van. A38 from Almondsbury to Alveston is becoming treacherous, it doesn't appear to have been gritted!! Even through Pilning and Easter Compton at low levels it's becoming very dicey. Then up through the Mall area into Patchway becoming treacherous again!
