[Beasterly]

a centimetre has fallen in the last 10 minutes

[Dean E]

Nothing falling from the sky at the moment, temperature is balanced around 0.9c dew point around -1.3c. Awaiting the next PPN band!

[Bubbsio]

Been snowing for two hours in Crewkerne, first heavy wet flakes now heavy and settled. Roads covered and exceptionally slippery even main roads where the grit has washed away.

[Wilxy]

0.9°C now its responding.

[gottolovethisweather]

Talk about a NOWCAST.

The AT remains constant at 0.8c and the DP is still 0.2c BUT the SNOW is now settling readily on car roofs and windscreen.

I expect most of us, especially away from the immediate coastline, to now see a topup of snowfalls over the coming hours.

GAME ON.

[Zephyr]

Snow getting heavier here not starting to settle yet as the ground is to wet another couple of hours and it should start to. Be careful if you are driving home from work soon!

[MrNooo]

Just started here, light flakes, very similar to Friday.

[Andy Bown]

Can anybody confirm why the Air Pressure is rising?

It is IMBY at least.

I guess because the LOW to the South is filling though sending its' front North over us and HIGH to the East edging this way.

Welcome aboard bubbs.

Could you kindly update your profile to show your location.

This will help assist the MetO and affiliated members, accurately judge the current situation.

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

The heavy stuff isn't meant to get here for a couple of hours yet. Hopefully by then, it will be close to or below freezing.

Huge change on the forecast for here. Now 6 hours of heavy snow with snow all days tomorrow!

Is that on the met office ?? Iv had a look it seems really poor to me , hasn't been updated I think.

[124alex]

Anymore heavy stuff to come?

[bellanite]

Just starting to snow in Stroud. Here we go again :-)

Thanks, I believe you are indeed correct.

I checked the latest model output and you can see the low slowly drifting Eastwards over France.

[124alex]

BBC weather is awful got me down for sleet all night, pretty much got over a cm so far in a couple of hours

oh and Met office.

[gottolovethisweather]

Anymore heavy stuff to come?

Ever thought of checking the radar alex.

YES is the short answer.

[Duane S.]

BIG flakes now in Piddlehinton.

[dec10snow]

I probably have about 2cm now

[cirendaz]

light snow starting to stick to all surfaces. really biteing cold outside

[dec10snow]

Is that on the met office ?? Iv had a look it seems really poor to me , hasn't been updated I think.

Seems poor to me aswell, as I said earlier, predicting sleet all night, which has already been proven wrong!

[sherrie]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but Iv seen others have said the heavier snow is still to come, Im just wondering if what we are getting here in Axminster is going to carry on, get heavier or if this is it?

ah I see that question has been asked and answered! I dont have net weather radar are there any free ones that anyone could recommend?
