South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 22/01/13 16z------------->

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

Exeter has a good chance tonight, Newton Abbot looking worse.

snow now lighter here but still falling

[lfcdude]

Could be epic this... very much like friday.. heavy snow.. doubted Friday would settle did.. had about 8 inches . doubted this.. but its like proving me wrong.. and on the pivot.. No lighty no likey...Keeps light on

[Michelle Baker]

Heavy snow here in Bristol, settling

[124alex]

6-8cm in the garden here havent checked the rest!

[theprophecyman]

Very bad.

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

Yeah, did notice that.... but loads of PPN still to come our way throughout the night :-)

[Jayfromcardiff]

Snowing like mad here on top of this mornings 3 inches!

[gottolovethisweather]

I'm guessing we've had a top up of between a half inch to an inch now but I ain't going out to check.

AT 0.3c

Not much of a pivot going on we could be out of heavy ppn soon

[offerman]

What did I.F say on points west.?

[Bristawl Si]

Can hear a few drips outside my window so confirms my earlier report of high water content in the snow.

Is it meant to dip below zero celsius tonite?

[kumquat]

Considering how much is falling - not seeing a great deal of accumulation...

Nah it's over for us now and even if we had a proper snow shower which i doubt it would never settle here...there's still February though and there's the Atlantic storm brewing for next week, hopefully it won't swipe the north of the uk...I don't like 'meh' weather

[Bristawl Si]

His forecast will be in a few mins

[kent]

Temps are flying up now. So its bye bye snow and hello rain. Gonna be all washed away by morning.

[BristolBlizzard]

Hate being a debby downer, but I can't see this amounting to much (IMBY anyway) I've had a good hour of heavy snow, and there's still only a dusting on the grass (looks about 0.5cm) Going by the Radar we've seen the heaviest of it aswell. There's just too much water content, it's really slushy.

Still nice to see heavy snow falling though

[Mapantz]

Back to rain here. Quite happy with the unusual weather though, that's what makes me an all-rounder.

The bottom of Corfe Castle flooded again, heavy rain (20mm now) and snow melt.

GFS 12z showing max 0c tonight from 21:00

Seems to be a few breaks in it, from what i can see on radar - and temps seem to have risen a degree

Have to agree - not much accumulating considering how heavy it's been and the ppn looks to be on the wane after another hour or so unless something dramatic happens.

[TimMB]

Snow up to 2:00am, according to Ian, that would be nice!

[Bristawl Si]

Ian's radar picture just now showing gaps and less intensity - heaviest stuff seems to be clearing.

Air to get colder though but snow fading away later in night.

But cotswolds and mendips still look good for snow thru the night.

[littlemissy]

Very bad weather conditions for driving.I spun driving home.Not nice.Please take care out there

[jethro]

If anyone is venturing out around here, have a look at this first: http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/somerset It really is a bit bonkers around here at the mo.

And South Today even had Wareham on the weather map tonight too
