can i ask has your snow been snow grains or have you had any like big flakes like on the news in dorset ?

light earlier but for the last hour big flakes.heading your way pal.real thick here

[somersetwolf]

About 4 inches in bath. Cars can't get up my road

[Coast]

So where are al the dissenters and moaners who were suggesting this snow event was a non-starter earlier this week???

[Bethany C]

There should be a big line of cars outside my window at this time in the morning, but there is absolutely nothing! A tiny bit lighter than it was half an hour ago but still pretty heavy.

[Gina]

About 8.5cm so far near Salisbury and snowing very heavily indeed! I went out at 6.30 to hay the horses and the wind was blowing the snow horizontally across the fields. Wind has eased off now though, its lovely!

[khodds]

Just cancelled my trip to London. Booooo. Time to go and play in the snow...YAY!

[ftolad]

Just came back from walking to the local shop and the flakes are much thicker now, and there's quite a wind too. Peartree Ave is getting pretty well covered, not sure if this is considered a priority route. The other half was sent initially to Plymouth this morning (lol), but is now homeward bound. Apparently lots of fools on Thomas Lewis Way have no idea how to drive in snow and are trying to floor it and spin all over the place.

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

Very heavy snow hear now

[SilverWolf]

Looks stalled to me....

[rockhopper]

IMBY Temp hovering around 0.0c

[divadee]

I have done the ruler test and its just under 3cm.

[Jace]

A snowy day in Patchway, Bristol

[Charlton Adam snow]

Good covering about 6/7cm here and snowing heavily again...Yay!!

[Somerset Squall]

A light covering here, and still snowing. Looks like some heavier stuff may be approaching from the southwest.

[MR EXTREMES]

So where are al the dissenters and moaners who were suggesting this snow event was a non-starter earlier this week???

Just under 2 inches here only about half way through the precip! Will be staying up until it stops!

[nick sussex]

MR glad to see you getting some snow, you seemed a bit worried last night.

Hows it going there at the moment?

[Joker]

Chucking it down now, huge flakes going sideways!

Southampton Airport is closed.

Hope this lasts all day and yah-boo sucks to all the pr***s who moan on about the country grinding to a halt - this is AWESOME!!!!!

Certainly looks like the Southampton area is getting hammered. Enjoy.

[Moleyroley]

Very shocked at how bad it is here on Portland dorset ! White out ! Amazing !!

[Wilxy]

Looks like its starting to stall, still lots of PPN showing up towards SW.

[GazzzaV6]

About 2 inches here in the New Forest....we are just 3 miles from the sea here so hoping it stays as snow! !

Where in the forest are you? still snowing here

[DanDorsetUK]

[Karl83]

White out conditions here. Can't wait to get out in it. I can't see the m4 at all. Not even headlights. Maybe there are no cars! Amazing!

[Chris K]

OK tried getting off my drive...no chance haha not worth the risk.12cm so far here!!

[Blizzardof82]

METO radar seems to be stuck for me, what have we still got to come for Bristol?
