Anyone thinking Tues event could be more widespread and intense across sw and cse than the forecasts have predicted. Its only 42 he's away and no warnings

[knocker]

Nope.

[Mark Neal.]

T42 for North Somerset/Wilts/Glouc.....BINGO!

& Oxford

Warning was issued earlier Sunday. We always use generic ice warning when snow is less certain.

Do the Met Office think the snow might extend as far east as Oxford?

(I'd be very grateful for a reply but understand if you are not able to. I have really enjoyed following your posts so far this winter.)

[Davey80]

What are your thoughts Ian for Tues? Potential to be anything like the Jan 2010 event?

Front really struggling to make further progress now. Snow stopped here now. Most models do show the front eventually reaching us but the NMM especially is hinting at a band of snow moving into Cornwall travelling WESTWARDS tomorrow Evening (Tuesday).

[SNOW CRYSTAL]

YEAY!!!!! Well done Cornwall, so pleased for you.

[Argyle1980]

Well a couple hours kip for me now then :-)

[Costa Del Fal]

St Ives webcam shows Light snow beginning again.

[Argyle1980]

Just starting to snow in Truro :-)

[rodders]

Snowing here! Not lots but looks like it could be snowing for a while! Super excited!!!! Front really struggling to make inroads, lets hope it keeps the temps down here for us Cornwallians!! Time to get back to bed fingers crossed it's kept snowing till I get up at 6!

Good thing is its still snowing down the far west in st Ives :-) .... Going to be a good one

[philglossop]

That front is sliding. Doesn't look likely to reach Plymouth.......

[Argyle1980]

It's looking that way! Just our luck.

[Dorsetbred]

-2.2°C currently, and a DP of -5.9°C

[jessandjon]

O M G , where is my cornwall snow??? :-)

[Costa Del Fal]

STILL Snowing here but very fine flakes now. Light covering on most surfaces. We are right on the edge of the front but I imagine places like Lizard/Helston have done very well from this.

Light dusting in truro

[kernowman]

Just popped my head out the window and a light covering of snow. That'll do me at least I can say I saw some this winter. Going to take 11 month old Spaniel out in it in a bit see what she makes of it.

[Aceman]

From having light snow all day I have woken to the met app showing one flake in the evening!! So what ever sir fergie has to say this eve on points west i dosent include banes/west wilts.

Oh well, great news for our Cornish division, well done
