2.4c seems a bit to warm for snow to settle but my DP is -0.5

[Nights King]

Yes more snow than sleet now bit the damn ground is wet, no settling at all at the moment.

With the dew points dropping so low smartie I'm sure this will settle for you in an hour or so. What is temperature for you now?

Its dropped half a degree and Ive only been up 10 mins. Can't believe I'm awake at 3am again

yep but temps are droping like a stone

[Brad]

All seems very marginal, I feel a spectacular flop on the cards. Meto still keeping the forecast so must be some confidence though in snow...

On my phone so bit hard to check wunderground, what's are temp showing for round Weston at the moment?

[MartUK]

thats not to bad

[ffowen]

good snow now and temp dropping fast

[Zephyr]

Started to sleet/Snow Bristol

What part?

[jethro]

I can't believe I'm awake at stupid o'clock but I was woken by the wind rattling the slates, who'd sleep in a loft conversion eh? Clearly not me. It's moderate snow here, no sign of sleetiness either, it's settling and sticking well but it will be impossible to get a measured level in the morning as it's blowing a right hoolie too - drifts could be interesting in the morning.

[MartUK]

I'm near Hartcliffe/Bedminster

Cheers, falling temp, that's what I like to hear

Snowing

[Nights King]

Looks light heavy ppn starts to roll in around 6ish this morning going off the radar although compared to what we have had so far this seems pretty heavy!

[Frosty_wsm]

2.0 c dew point of 1 to -1

Let me know when you start seeing it settling, on anything!

[Zephyr]

I'm happy with that could see 15/20cm easily in places

[jethro]

Just checked NW extra, it says temp 1c dew point -2 for here. Radar replay looks like the snow started here almost bang on 3, which is scarily accurate and on cue with METO forecasts. It's only the lighter front of the band here at the mo, what's coming behind looks a lot heavier - I'd say it's heavy already so what's coming in behind looks lots of fun
