light snow just started

main thing is the uppers are cold enough

[gottolovethisweather]

Just started - light flurry Bucks/Oxfordshire border

 

Keep reports such as these coming guys n gals, until the time comes that I pass out at my keyboard as I getting a bit old for all this over exuberance.   I'll try to struggle on, might be Red Bull time or time for something stronger. 

 

Currently dry -1.0c AT, -2.7c DP and a steady barometer reading of 1005.mb in Newbury.

 

Main timeframe for said activity should be from approximately 10pm to 12pm for most here so stand by your lamp-posts and security lights and get twitching those curtains.

12z GFS and NMM 12z for the early hours of the morning...

 

    

 

Both going towards the East of our region. From current radar, I think the Met is bang on with its warning.

Well, I'm heading down to the pub. I hope you lot get to see something later- I'm unsure about here. But, you never know! And I'll be radar watching on my phone regardless. Enjoy.

Anything west of a straight line down from Gloucester will miss the fun I think. Hopefully wrong

very interesting radar watch tonight.

 

Got some concerns that this might start to fizzle out soon!!

 

heres hoping it carrys on intensifying.

[dec10snow]

To be honest with the 21:15 radar update it looks like this precip has seemed to jump southwards without much westward movement...

Zoomed right in on Headington on NW v6 radar and you'll have some flakes in less than 5 minutes from now I reckon. What's your Temps & DP Mark?

. It is at this time I need a snow alarm like the radar alarm in my phone.. I could do with a wee snooze then awake to watch it all unfold hopefully potentially please possibly please..

The Cotswold and Wessex Downs will catch most of it I'd imagine and then it's a question of whether it makes it South of the M4 in tact.

I noticed this earlier too!

No marginality even with cloud cover, that's what we so desperately wanted to hear. Bring on the snow.

Pahaha! Make sure you have your "raincoats" ready! Or you'll up end up like me ...

Just started snowing here in the duchy

[gottolovethisweather]

Welcome aboard this regional all 112 of you by the way, a busy thread then.   Crucial time period upcoming if you want to see some magical white crystals falling from the skies. 

Just started snowing here in the duchy

 

You got a good covering yet?

Definitely seeing more of a south as opposed to southwest movement on the last two updates :-(

old people dont drink red bull poppet

[Climate_Eyes]

I noticed this earlier too!

 

Usually ice crystals in suspension. There was a visible parhelion here when I went out for a run this afternoon, typical that I didn't have my phone with me for once.

 

Might get a look in with that small batch if it doesn't fade. There seems to be a sporadic westward correction though, albeit slight. It does seem to be intensifying though (if you can call it that).
