South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat

[kumquat]

I've just seen literally two flakes and that's probably it for me LMAO

 

[MP-R]

East Bristol should start seeing light snow very shortly, closing in on Keynsham now. Anything in Yate yet?

[Stoxs]

as others have said i am surprised that the intensity has stayed and not just fizzled out to nothing long before it got near any of us.

 

close watch of the radar has shown it intensifying in places.

 

A quality radar lampost watch evening , one i was not expecting at all.

 

really can not see this area of PPn getting any further west than Bristol.

 

which is a surprise as earlyer i was thinking it wasnt going to get here

Light snow still but has gone up a notch coming down thickly now and getting a dusting on the ground

Tony, you are in a good spot, looking at the radar

 

for me, on current ppn spread, the sweet spot is the Marlborough Downs, (between Marlborough and Wantage and then down into Devizes) 

[katemart]

Might have to make this into a screen saver given that precipitation is likely to be ALL snow.

All the more amazing given our despondency over the more recent sleet events and all our negative thoughts are soon to turn into positive ones. I pray that most get as much as they can handle by the morning. 

 

I'll drink to that gtltw, although I have a feeling I may end up drowning my sorrows...

Can't believe how far this feature has travelled from the east coast! I'm in mid Somerset, about 10 miles north of Yeovil - can I dare to hope that it'll make it here, just a dusting will do - don't want much ma' luvs. Good luck tyo those in cider country & elsewhere

Wessex Downs and Marlborough Downs as you say are looking good but I wouldn't to hog it all so I'm hoping others can revel in it, I think a lot will be, in all fairness.

[MP-R]

Just need a slightly more westward pull otherwise it will just miss here by a matter of miles!

[Andrew snow hope]

About a 1cm so far but from radar I think west is best

[katemart]

Can you lot share the snow please. . . .pretty please :-)

 

Right, where's theprophecyman? We need him to start blowing very hard, right about NOW!

[gottolovethisweather]

I ain't venturing out, I'm too much of a wuss but I reckon we have about a 1cm already here in Newbury, good times.

WASTED on you!

[gottolovethisweather]

Are there any M4 corridor cameras available online just to prove that it can make it past that blessed road construction. 

WASTED on you!

 

Several inches centimetres (to correct slight exaggeration of my expectations) by the time I wake up in the morning, with luck.

[Andrew snow hope]

It's stopped

[Stoxs]

please dont forget our brothers on the east side who often get dumpings of the white stuff when we are sat in our green fields. As this had their name on it around 6pm tonight! 

 

who am i kidding! LOL

More filth! Where's the moderator for this forum?!

[lfcdude]

light dusting so far going by radar should get heavier soon and few hours to come...

[Woollymummy]

he he, just put a snowball in the freezer to prove to the kids this snow really happened in case it has washed away when they wake up, but you know what, I do not think it will have!!

[andy_leics22]

Juat got off the coach in Leicester and all there is is just a patchy sugar dusting what a night to be out of Oxfordshire!

[A.J]

I've just about to have an unexpected glass of red to celebrate laying snow 

[gottolovethisweather]

AJ, you're bang on the money it seems and plenty more to come.

Could even be a tricky commute in the morning so please beware folks.
