Starting to melt now .

Ugly snowman

6cm on the cars, 5 on the bins. Not bad in Warminster as not expecting much more than falling sleet and mush.

Bath Uni has called a snow day. Sadly this is WFH if you can, and the pandemic has meant that I definitely can…

Did Weymouth get snow?

I sincerely doubt it, I’m 6 miles north of Poole and it’s all rain here

[jethro]

Snowing heavily now.

 

[Theresnoway]

Main snow looks to be north of the M4 now, now where have I heard that before!

Some of that radar is wrong, shows sleet / rain for my location however it's 100% snow. Coming down pretty heavily too.

[khodds]

Snowing here now. Maybe it will start to settle? About to drive my boy to Wells so will see what it’s like there

[Liam Burge]

Also a side note: this is the perfect snow for snowballs/snowmen here.

Are you in Bridgy or Bristol currently Liam? I can believe Bridgy has more than me! Wish I’d stayed there last night now!

In Bristol currently. I've got pictures from family in Bridgy and there's not much at all, just a cm or so on the ground.

It's gonna be close, but I feel like most will see snow, especially under the heavier precip.

Ain't nothing to get excited about for my location. Just seen Ians forecast  

When I was a youngster, I had cousins living in WSM. 

Living in Shipham myself at the time, 10 miles inland, and 500 or so feet above sea level made a huge difference. They hardly ever saw any in comparison.

A good couple of inches of settled snow here in Shepton. Still coming down steadily. 

[Somerset Squall]

Finally, after a teaser Winter, Spring delivers some meaningful snow!

Awww Jess is there on her residential. She misses it

[AWD]

Few cm’s in Longwell Green with a heavy clump of PPN now traversing Bristol giving a slightly more moderate fall.

Nice to see although not enough to close the kids schools unfortunately so school run here I come!  It’s very wet too, so I expect melt throughout the day.

If only tonight’s wave doesn’t get as far north as currently modelled……

[Liam Burge]

Okay the snow is really picking up now.. we have some massive flakes coming down.

[Slysi100]

Nothing but rain down in South Devon. Was to be expected though, lots more to come too 🫤
