Part of me can't wait for Devon and Cornwall to get a shed load of snow and no other counties, I'm soooo going to gloat mwah ha ha ha!

[jethro]

I live in Evercreech (2.5 mls from Shepton) and it is awful here and i can well believe how bad it is,long Hill will be tough!!!

From what hubby said it's already blocked with folk not able to move up or down, if this keeps up, I imagine they'll shut it. Paul's hoping to at least get as far as the A37 then he can skip across it and go the back lanes to home, via Stoke St Michael - he's got a Discovery so at least he won't get stuck.

[John88B]

Some of the biggest flakes I've ever seen here now! Absolutely chucking it down! A beautiful sight.

[Fred Sykes]

Where the hell are the GRITTERS!! Roads are really bad. Come on guys get out there!!!!!

[somersetsnow]

I think a lot of folk are abandoning their cars, it's carnage out there.

OH GOD!!! If this keeps up,then it will be like the day after tomorrow!!!!

[jethro]

OH GOD!!! If this keeps up,then it will be like the day after tomorrow!!!!

Bring it on!!!!

Good call. Narrow but better in a 4x4. Wishing him luck.

[TwisterGirl81]

Off to the naughty step.

The snowy naughty step?

[jethro]

So, any ideas how long this is going to last? An hour or two or longer?

[divadee]

Still no snow :-(

Go away rain. We can't cope with anymore.

Hubby's got a disco, I've got a Defender, if you can't get him home, PM me, one of us will manage it.

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

I hope you are right. On the radar I keep seeing a hole appearing just over Hampshire! I'm assuming the met office think that the band will keep pepping up.

[lfcdude]

Really big snow flakes!!!

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

Much better bbc graphics , snowing well until 2am by the looks of things !

9 to 12 hours if not more?

Some of those flakes earlier were like large pieces of foam you get from the sea in a storm!

[offerman]

Just be a memory in couple of days,

[Milli Bar]

Anyone noticing if Met Office forecasts are accurate tonight or is it about nowcasting? Also the warning just just misses me.

Not IMBY. I'm supposed to have heavy rain right now, with sleet by midnight- but I've had moderate snow for at least an hour! Yippee!

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

[Karl83]

Well I came home looking like a snowman so I'm happy. Started light but got heavier and now its chucking it down with heavy chunky snowfalkes. COOL! Everything is white, once again. Not a bad cold spell this after all. The snowiest I've experienced in Bristol since I moved here and that was 2003!
