I'm not long from going to bed but I thought I'd re-issue fergieweathers info from earlier should you not have seen it. I would also add IMHO there is some expectation for parts of inland Devon and Cornwall to also join in the snowy fun over the coming hours. good.gif

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primary concern now uplands W Somerset and Forest of Dean. Decent break now across many central areas extending west, but potential for more to follow later behind. I'm quite hopeful situation for main urban areas (e.g. Bristol) will now be largely improving, not least given wet snow story and vehicular traffic helping to clear it in next couple of hours before it all falls quieter. Morning rush might well be fine for these areas, but story over parts of Mendips Plateau and other uplands will be far less pretty for travellers. Next major issue will be into weekend as rapid thaw, with heavy rain too, conspires to bring flooding issues. Could get pretty bad for some (again). But at least the freeze gets swept-aside very readily, so the scope of transport/services disruption of late will ease.

Light snow here but thaw seems to be setting in.

Snow now sliding off cars and the drip drip from my house gutters is increasing.

Devon - more snow to come i reckon for next hour or so.

Yeah noticed that. Been keeping an eye on it but there was similar pulse around Brighton but that seems to be breaking up as it hits the Downs to north of Brighton.

Guess there's some topography issues for some areas tonite.

Gloucester getting hammered!!! Dry 8 miles away in Stroud, jealous, lol.

Was expecting it to be the other way round with your elevation but this keeps intensifying as it hits the valley here

- though I would think the Forest of Dean is getting a real beating judging from radar.

I am not much above sea level here yet its hammered it down relentlessly for a couple of hours.

Shame ground was so wet to begin with but its an even coating everywhere and even main roads are covered.

God help us if it ices over later in the clear slots forecast !

Be careful out there !

It is still snowing heavily here in Axminster, I dont have access to temperatures but I was looking out of my window and there was some dripping from some mesh stood against the fence, suddenly the snow got heavier and in front of my eyes the drips just froze into mini icicles.

Currently snowing in west devon, started light a few hours and now getting a tad heavier with around 2cms settled. Weird that there's no participation on the radar where I am, nevermind!! smiliz39.gif

Hoping that lovely bit of heavy stuff continues to drift west from Exeter!!
