places with lying snow.. have the best chance for it to be all snow?

temp 0.6 dew point 0

Well we have lying snow and currently have light rain

[gottolovethisweather]

I'm pretty sure that I remember that yesterday, people were saying that the system should drag the cold air in with it as it rotates.

Or am I imagining things?

More than likely I guess. Wasn't on here much of yesterday so I may have missed that.

All being well things will become more favourable as the day progresses but I don't think that will be until at least the rush-hour onwards.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Rain rain rain. I think I might just do that. Lol

[Wilxy]

temp was 1.8°C at 11:30 now dropped back down to 1.4°C Dew P -0.7°C.

Id like to keep the Dew P on the right side but other factors are at play today.

[Agenda109]

Has anyone got an update of the temperatures in the Ferndown area?

[fromey]

[jmcy9999]

Raining here & 4.5C on the Costa Del Solent, if we had any lying snow left it would be gone soon

[Mumbles]

Hi, This taken from the Met Office warning seems to confirm what your saying? Lets hope so!

Chief Forecaster's Assessment

Complex frontal features are affecting parts of the south through Tuesday. With flow becoming more northeasterly through the day much colder air will be drawn into the system and increase the snow risk and the area likely to be affected. There is still a fair degree of uncertainty in the detail and there may be further adjustments to the warning as events unfold.

Oh good, then there's still hope that the Amber area might be adjusted slightly as events unfold.

[lfcdude]

Only 0.7 here

[ANYWEATHER]

Anyone got the dew point in Swindon pls?

well its minus 1 here with a dewpoint of minus 3c, youre not a million miles away from me!!

[Gina]

Has been snowing lightly outside Salisbury for the past hour or two. Looking forward to plenty more although we still have tons!

[sherrie]

Rain here and after the cold for the past few days its feeling positivly mild, car says 2.5 but I dont know how accurate it is.

[Agenda109]

Sounds like the NE is blowing snow from Salisbury to Downton, keep it up we might get it here soon

[festivalking]

Colder here in Plymouth temps dropping off from 3.5 to 2.9 lets hope the trend continues.

[Mapantz]

That colder air aloft is now being dragged down, the temperature has dropped a degree here although it's still raining moderatly.

The NAE is progging the possibility of an inch of rain here by midnight and personally i think that warrants a warning for rain.

We had the same just before the cold spell started and there was flooding all over the place, roads closed etc .. I think this is an oversignt because of the complexed situation.
