Morning everyone

 

glad so many have got snow even down south which is great for snow lovers.

how about 3 cm here at the moment snowing steadily with small to moderate flakes

really hoping it lasts until I get back from Downton later today I just want to get a couple of sledge runs in with my lad

You'll see a bit in Downton, if you hurry up.

The melt is on already though.

Winchester this morning

[Easily sled]

Winter wonderland in Winchester, still snowing, far better than expected!

Nothing here and didn't happen at Princetown either

Got a cm or 2 in Warminster.

Looks about that here in Westbury, which isn’t much considering it snowed most of the night. Though lookimg back over the radar mainly light so not surprising. We did better back in December in a similar time frame and intensity from that narrow band though it was much colder.

Might go for a walk out in it this morning before it disappears later if UKV is anything to go by. My concerns last night of things heading in the wrong direction appear to be happening with tonight’s second band nothing but cold rain.

I’ll stay out of the MAD thread today. I don’t think I can cope with another day of  the rampant ramping of a certain person from the East Midlands.

I think whole thing has been pushed north which has given north of region couple of cm but probably at cost of the 5 - 10cm warned for this evening.

Still light snow currently but waiting for it to turn to rain now.

Nice covering (few cms) everywhere except any surfaces that retained warmth - so roads/pavements/concrete still clear/wet.

It’s doubled in the last hour. 
 

We were very lucky that December morning with heavy showers locally.

[nettie]

Thats better you can see it now

[jtay]

Hasn't turned to rain, as expected. Still snowing.

Going for a wander in a bit. 

[Willsy]

led right up the garden path again. to get snow on the coast is wishful thinking in a set up like this anyway. i hope you all enjoy the snow if you’ve got it 

[saintkip]

Nice

 Sorry to those who have missed out, hopefully your time will come. Up to 5cms here in Winchester, still coming down, expected rain now, radar says rain, still lots of light snow which bolds well! 

[Hampshire Hillbilly]

A decent fall here. Has recently got heavier 

[Ali1977]

Started here in the North Cotswolds, hoping for a good 15cm before the days out

[Man With Beard]

I can see from reports that there was snow in the night here in Fareham, but no sign of it now.

[khodds]

What a waste. Just wet and a slight sprinkle here. Even Bridgwater has more.

and has tonight’s snow all but gone? Can someone confirm?

None of video forecasts have been updated but to me it looks like a rain event this evening.

Hope I am wrong though.

Good luck! I’m the other end of The Cotswolds snow light here but grass covered… been enjoying watching your posts in the MOD and following them with interest! 

[Dacyfo]

Not a bad covering in Reading.

[Liam Burge]

Some pics in Bristol!! We got a good amount, probably around 5-7cm on the ground.

 

I present to you.. DAVE!

[jethro]

Morning, it's snowing here and looking at the cars it probably was white at some point but there's nothing on the ground now. Can see the Mendips are white, looks like a good covering up on the hills.

It’s been a long slog getting to this point so hoping it’s worth the wait, looking good on that front
