Lol! I'm getting depressed as its not settling! It's car age a few miles away from here... No fair

[Mark]

Wow!!!!!

Just gone from very wet flakes that were just making slush, to huge drier flakes that have made EVERYTHING white in about 10 minutes!!

[MR EXTREMES]

Where in Portsmouth are you? As it's nothing but rain in Southsea.

havant.

[Island Singer]

Can hear heavy rain on the roof of my Park home...dammit! Oh well...will be able to get to work tomorrow which is good cos we are self employed..and it was pretty while it lasted..we dont often have 3 1/2 days of lying snow down here...

[Moleyroley]

I'm torturing myself reading this :@( just rain , rain rain here

[gottolovethisweather]

For those not sure of where we are heading further out from the immediate situation, would do no harm in reading AWDs thoughts from earlier.

Ian F on points west

[TheHumph]

I think you should look at the radar again , your exaggerating so much there, it's an intense area of snow , it wouldn't go anywhere as it is at the minute until midnight at least, it has lost a bit of intensity , but still reds , greens , yellows in there , it will wax and wane a little , but it's a very snowy night , and some places will get over 20cm

Had another look at the radar and watched the TV forecast (BBC1) and nothing there to say it will be snowing for any more than a couple of more hours in the East of the Region here. I accept it will go on snowing for sometime to the West and I hope you get a deluge. Maybe I was a bit IMBY with my post. Take care.

[katemart]

that annoying woman

Scottish Carol from BBC Breakfast?

[somersetsnow]

He's home!!!!!! yey!!

[TimMB]

Moderate to heavy in Clevedon, settling.

[jethro]

Are you for reall mate? Have you not been following this ? Have a look at the radar! 2or 3am is my guess, hence the potential for massive falls

No I haven't had time - I'm a gardener, been at work all day, no computers in the garden. Spent the day clearing the mess from the last lot, the weight of the snow cracked several panes of glass in the big greenhouses - had to make those safe. Also an ancient Yew tree lost a huge bough due to weigh too.

[SunnySouthCoast]

havant.

Ah so not in Portsmouth at all then lol

I'm torturing myself reading this :@( just rain , rain rain here

Me too, you are not alone in your rainy misery

[theprophecyman]

Awesome weather, on way home from work, missus calls me, ome pick me up with, has our 3yr old son with her. Drive down in to frome, park up and let air out of tyres bar a little bit and drove back up north parade as bath st to steep, phew we made it back alright and lovely big snow flakes still chcuking it down must be 1 1/2 inch deep i reckon or more.

Guessing the main roads in Frome are getting bad then??

[doog443]

Looks it could linger over central southern parts until tomorrow. Make the most of it as the Atlantic breaks through on Friday.

Starting to rain / sleet in N Poole now but have a good a few cm covering everything.

[Bristawl Si]

They made Ian stand on the beeb roof in Bristol just now for a live report! Funny!

[divadee]

It's wine o'clock here.

[TwisterGirl81]

Just be a memory in couple of days,

I guess so but a happy fun one for those that have had lots of snow...continually...whilst parts of Devon and Cornwall have hardly seen a flake...I just don't think it's been cold enough )entrenched cold) in the peninsula whilst places that have more elevation like Dartmoor, Tiverton, cullompton etc have more elevation...just goes to show it really has been pot luck and elevation...we've been on knifes edge all winter so I can't help feel very very disappointed

[Chul]

It's wine o'clock here.

Think it may be here too. . . . Very depressed that we will miss out, at least think we will, hope not though!!!!! PASS THE WINE!!!!!!!!! :-(

[BARRY]

Ah so not in Portsmouth at all then lol

Me too, you are not alone in your rainy misery

And me not seen a flake of snow here there been snow around but non here the snow dome is working in overtime.

[Moleyroley]

Reminds me of 18th December 2010 when it seemed everywhere around me was pounded with snow , and us poor coasters got rain ..,,.,, :@( , enjoy your fluffy flakes guys

[Sungirl]

We have easily had 1cm here. Road is now white!

[offerman]

Guessing the main roads in Frome are getting bad then??

Very bad.

But looking at the radar, its all weakening to the southeast of us somwill ease up shortly :-(
