Pretty darn wet here, which i don't mind. It washes all the crap away that the slushy snow had made last week.

Temp, 4.6°C and 5.6mm of rain. January is at 60.6mm.

Interesting we are still in the colder air in Poole with it being 1.5C currently, but it's still raining.

Expecting to see the warmer air arrive later this afternoon.

Light rain here in Southampton, Snow starting to slide off fences and roofs. 1.7C and rising. DP -0.4 and rising. Wind NNE 2Bft.

[Mapantz]

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

temp 0.6 dew point 0

I should do well here then?! LOL

It's more to do with what's going on one mile up than at the surface.

whe heyyyyy, looks odds on for some decent falls in Frome and all areas around us, good luck everyone.

That PPN is pushing in quite fast.

It will definately be a wet start to the 'event' (Somerset, North Somerset, Bristol etc) but its forecast to change to snow. Cant see much pitching on wet surfaces, but some will be lucky on higher elevations.

What ive been saying all week. Shame 2m temps havent been a few degrees colder.

[Blizzardof82]

Looking at radar and METO warning I would say Wells across to Weston Super Mare are the sweet spots today, don't take my word for it that is just an idiots guess

Looks like the rain isnt too far away from Frome now.

[nettie]

Now feel slightly confused gone from yellow to amber back to yellow in the space of 20 mins.

[pinkertonsurly]

Does look good, bring it on :-)

[Man With Beard]

Raining steadily in portsmouth, in case you were interested. A long way off being snow I'd have thought. Transition line to snow likely to be quite some way inland.

See a doctor

[Nights King]

Any reports of snow on hills in dorset yet?

Just on the edge of this but it is snowing lightly.

[gottolovethisweather]

Not looking good here currently even this far North. Currently AT 0.3c, DP -0.1c soon to go above freezing and everything will melt.

There is clearly going to be a lot of rain out of this, at least at first, sorry folks.

All IMHO but this band of precipitation is simply arriving at the wrong time and we need something to change in the uppers, wbfl etc. before I will start feeling positive about things again.

[Snowkissed]

Sleeting here in Wimborne, temp 2.4c still some lying snow - can tell the easterly has started to show itself now.

[nettie]

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

Good signs!

[Wilxy]

That is some intense PPN over devon, could flooding be a issue?

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?

Yep Heavy snow in Shaftesbury!!!!! Very Happy chap at the moment!

[microclimate]

Temperature has dropped 3.7c here still raining. I would be grateful if peeps in south somerset could give me a heads up if it starts to snow, OH working in Yeovil today and the A37 can very quickly get tricky.

[snowponies]

Heavy sleet/rain on west Dartmoor/west Devon this morning, now turning to rain and melting all the snow that fell last night, dew point is 1 degree. Everywhere is just full of ice and took me 10 mins to get out of my drive and on the way to the yard this morning I got stuck a few times! Hoping the dew points fall a little later on, temp is currently 2 degrees, looking towards Cornwall and it's white! Anyone in east cornwall got anything? Is it raining where you are?

[knocker]

Update.

[chris55]

That is some pretty impressive ppn on the radar, if this lot falls as snow inland and it keeps it's intensity some place could be seeing rather a lot!!!!!!
