[cornish snow]

https://www.youtube...... Camalot/ Cornwall Legal law to climate,,,,,Winter finishes March 2nd on dot

Least camalot gets a winter

Reminded me of my courting days.LOL

[lettice]

had a bit of a lull and stated a bit of a thaw, but the small flake snow is back now and trying so hard to settle again

[Fitzwis]

Nearly 3 hours of continuous moderate snow and still no sign of it letting up. Also, the skies are darkening somewhat with the onset of the "code red blizzard" we are all anticipating here:

Still snowing, not all light either, if this keeps on all day we'll easily get above 5cms on surfaces prone to settling. Still expecting a heavier period this afternoon.

Nice and very heavy light snow here

[Nights King]

I must say the west country has had very little luck these past 2 winters. We had a near perfect chance for a rare widespread event today and even the cornish have managed to miss out

Just looks like a cold week but becoming less conducive for any snow by the time some real ppn reaches us later in week. I won't be turning the News channel on this evening to see endless reports of the eastern half of england

Latest NAE a big upgrade for South Hants and IOW - 14mm (ie 10-15cm snow) for Isle of Wight by tomorrow morning

[cerneman]

Starting to brighten up, I can understand the frustration with the heavy stuff in the channel but hey Ho it's the Channel Islands turn. Good luck to them. What is more frustrating is that the French are getting some!!!!!

Heavy rain showers forecast for Friday,,,Guarantee the French won't nick them

[Mapantz]

Warming up a touch here, much brighter too.

[swsnowlover]

Cold and snowy is great but just grey, windy and cold is MEH!!! Bring back Spring, I was enjoying the sunshine!!

[Beast of Plympton]

I am in Chudleigh now, its snowing a bit here, was snowing heavy with small falkes on my drive over Dartmoor.... Wonder what I will go home to??!!

Probably not....

[Mapantz]

After going back through the models, it seems yesterday's NAE wasn't far off the mark after all?

[lightningsprite]

rain today radar has the snow going in the opposite direction to how it had it only an hour ago!!!...now being pushed back west and south so no heavy stuff for us...some flurries coming in over London might make it here...

[gottolovethisweather]

Nothing Springlike for at least a week I'm afraid and maybe even further out than that.

Hopefully get to see some more sun eventually which will please a lot of people who are downbeat about missing the snowy action.

For this region, good places for some snowfall of any consequence today remain Southern Dorset, most of Hampshire and potentially into parts of East Wiltshire as the day wears on.

[cerneman]

Snow stopped and little brighter but wind really increased with some gusts sounding like express train passing,,,,,,,,,

Yes it is moving from Northeast to Southwest on its Northern edge. I believe you are from the New Forest when I saw your profile earlier, so you should be in a good position for a fair few flakes yet.

[Fitzwis]

Stay safe....

Thank you coffee lover We (the family) are all safe indoors and well stocked up with essentials. The littleuns are keen to go out and play but with a wind chill of -8 and a blizzard incoming, this won't be happening today. No doubt the schools will be closed tomorrow (as well as today) when the forecast is set to improve so they will have plenty of time to play out in it then

Looking at the radar we're tantalisingly close to the action.

Put some pictures up later Fitzwis if you get a chance please.

and of course the Channel Islands

Goes without saying. I think your island may well be making the headlines later on today. A proper snowfest for your shores.

Yes, I would say we have an outside chance of a few more snowflakes to add to yesterdays snizzle. I don't expect anything other than that though, to be fair.

Aww thats good.. We are just waiting for the council to close the schools on the island, its become a right nightmare here, cars crashing, roads being closed, train on fire..

[Andy hoyland]

Is Poole likely to get anymore heavier snow do you think?

[wightwootton]

Heaviest snowfall of the morning now, flakes a much bigger, no let up.

Train on fire, not heard that one, wow.

[jessandjon]

Has the snow chance vanished for Cornwall now?
