ok mate that makes sense, I was thinking it must be so marginal for that kind of set up. although A35 in places still relatively close to the coast though

A35 over Askers hill well known for snow closures high ground

ITV national news just had a 20 second news item on the snow but didnt refer to any particular area.

Obviously, as it's not really affecting London and south east tonite compared to more serious situ in some of our region, the rest of us arent that important!

What about BBC news they should be mentioning it now? I couldn't stay up any longer. Think they were going to discuss it...

Not a flake has fallen over my area Barnstaple/Landkey. Hard to be believe looking at the radar, we have had nothing not even rain since 1300 hours. Temps still well up here. Just goes to show how hit and miss it is.

They showed John Kay on the mendips and he looked like a snowman! People abandoning cars and flakes looked huge.

About an inch of fresh, very wet snow lying here about 20 minutes ago, temperature still just above 0°C. Estate roads covered, but very slushy.

Report of an accident on the A37 just out of Yeovil with cars getting stuck, but road not closed.

BBC just had a huge report on the snow in Somerset (Mendips).

More or less stopped in north Hampshire. We got an extra 3cm of snow. Want it to stop completely now as it is getting a bit sleety.

It seems to be pivoting Anti Clockwise round the low pressure. I'd say West / North West.

Brilliant! I might have to stay up to see if the snow marches into my neck of the woods then! Main band heading up from Exeter hopefully!

The ppn in the gap to the east and south east looks to be moving a lot quicker than the main band to the north, could we get a kind of "piling up" of the energy as it hits the stalling main band and all spins south west??

Just a though, wishful thinking!

Do you know the model of your weather station id like to compare to my vantage vue as i have a feeling the humidity might be off yours seems quite accurate.

I was just looking at the radar.. It does seem to be knocking on the door for us, just needs to stop fizzling out when it reaches us which it has done all day :)

I've been keeping an eye on that as they are now seemingly heading my direction. I'm currently in the white blob in the middle of the system.
