Temp has remained constant since 1300 but it feels really raw and yes, it's looking very dark towards the south east - are there any thoughts on the possibility of a freeze tonight? There's a lot of cloud and BBC shows +3c overnight here...............a very small thaw this afternoon but foliage and branches still holding accumulations so nothing major

Those are not a few feet high? .. There are only 3 feet in a metre lol. Unless that pic isn't showing the drifts.

It has stopped here now.

It began snowing at 8am and hasn't stopped all day, until now, and we have 15cm

[katemart]

well i just come back from the vets bit upset my dog had to be put to sleep broke my heart.

but already foot print holes have yet another dusting on top moderate snow grains falling at a moderate rate with wind driving it rather shocked because i thought this was the end of the event but clearly there is some residule engery left here and there.

rest in peace my wizzy on this snowy day x

So sorry to hear that, MR

[karlos1983]

12z tries to spring some more snow fun!!

[Sungirl]

Sorry about your dog Model Rollercoaster Dogs are unlike other pets in that they really do become part of the family x

[jessandjon]

So do you think the front from the west could snow for cornwall

[Beast of Plympton]

Just thought I would upload a few pics from the day. We built a snowman family.

[Erbyskerby]

Well, Model discussion thread is a bit dead - was wondering what to expect next!

Sweet!!! Been to misty to look up to the dartmoor hills today!!!

[TwisterGirl81]

So sorry to hear that, MR

Awww I know how you feel I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, it may be too soon but think of the most likely wonder loving life Wizzy had with you, some aren't so lucky.

I hope you feel better soon.

[TheHumph]

Well, Model discussion thread is a bit dead - was wondering what to expect next!

I think members are a bit modelled out just for a while. It'll get going on there again soon. Lots of interest in the short term for our region with Sunday's possible snow event from France.

[Beast of Plympton]

Sweet!!! Been to misty to look up to the dartmoor hills today!!!

Yeah, still misty here mate!

[skidders]

Well, it has pretty much snowed all day here in Frampton Cotterell even if some of it has been just light snow this aftenoon. Pretty much stopped now though. Certainly no thaw whatever here. the snow on the trees is still there even though the wind has blown them around a bit too. Here are a few pitures, but only from my garden as I was working all day at home sadly!
