[Nights King]

Im slighly confused as to how this band is going to track...

Heavy snow falling now and meto have me in heavy snow til 3am then light snow til thursday 3am so is this system just going to pivot in place now?

[SunnySouthCoast]

Rain getting heavier again, very blustery too

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Coming down good and proper now!

[TheHumph]

Real burst of heavy snow in Petersfield following initial rain about an hour ago. Moderate snow falling now, turning to light snow and sleet later. Almost blizzard like for a short while as I drove over Butser Hill.

Unbelievably heavy snow here now!.....50p sized flakes and plenty of 'em....hell, probably a dinner plate flake or two mixed in....lol.......So heavy, that just standing outside without an umbrella and just one flake will give you a concussion....lol

Looks like it's already pivoting and your area with Bath & nearby in the sweet spot - i could be talking rubbish though!

[Frosty_wsm]

Heavy snow here but not big flakes, beginning to pitch on cars

Yep.

Some big flakes here too.

Snow really pepping up now. Settling on some surfaces such as cars, grass etc, but not on roads/pavements as of yet.

[dec10snow]

Remember to be careful out and about tomorrow. Not sure how it is elsewhere, but the ground is still very wet, and somewhat slushy UNDER the snow, so could be treacherous tomorrow. Take care.

Sleety snow in Exeter, 2 degrees...the weather channel down graded our snow to rain but I'm trying to remain hopeful...tried to get Thursday on leave to go Dartmoor to see proper snow and sledge but can't...I doubt snow will settle here.... *sigh*

[chris55]

Getting heavier, but nothing amazing (yet) settling well at 70m asl.

Superb stuff, just opened a bottle of Red, lovely.

[Zephyr]

Heavy snow now settling here, quicker then I thought it was going to be!

I'll second that, went through QE park and butser and the roads were pretty bad at around 4:20 - heavy snow has turned to lighter and drier snow, ppn band not looking promising for us!

[Beasterly]

3cm and counting

[Blizzardof82]

Right it is getting heavier now and the air feels dryer(is this possible) and snow starting to pitch on untreated surfaces

[Bristawl Si]

3cm and counting

Where exactly in Bath are you? Do u have elevation? Lol

you've got some snow though, that's the important thing so grab yourself a drink and join the South West snow party!

[WDHS]

Snow forecast continuously until 3pm tmrw for Lyneham area !!

Best keep the party atmosphere going though.

[Lynxus]

Hmm, Its breaking up!

Could this be the change that makes me miss out? ( Most likely )

[Defector]

Steady light snow now falling and settling here in Charlton Kings Cheltenham.
