Morning All, an overcast start after the overnight low dropped to -0.8°C at: 00:00 and warmed then all night due to cloud cover, currently 4.5°C, RH93% and light air movement from the NE. Repeat that tonight and anything precipitous tomorrow am will be cold rain.

On Golden sands

ECM seems to feel in agreement showing no sub zero overnight here

At 42 m asl like my location rain is all it will likely be, 100m plus is where the action may happen.......given some inland parts of Dorset are well in excess of 100m asl it could be fun for some

I think it's quite a good warning that the Met Office have issued. I'm not sure many people expect much from it, but there's definitely a chance that the models don't even have a good grasp even at this short range and that we could see a little snow more widely across SW England (given recent slight northerly adjustments).

The 06z ECM has pepped up the preciptation a bit. The main core of the system still sits in the channel if it encroaches more then things could happen.

Thoughts turn to early December last year where here in Wilts we had a morning of light to steady snowfall which remained on the ground for a week and we were nowhere near the yellow warning issued the day before.

But yes, I'm not expecting anything here, but never say never!

That was a completely different scenario. A showery trough moved NE into what had been a minus 4 to minus 6 early morning.

Good afternoon all. 

It's that time of year again and as it is now less than 24 hours away I thought I'd come out of my summer hibernation. 

Not looking likely for snow and warning is yo South of me but my met office app has light snow forecast midnight tonight until mid dY Thursday?!

Something must be a foot as parts of plymouth have now got light snow projected all day with sea level now having a day of sleet. Can't help but wonder!!!

That is promising, always a chance that a little more ppn could form to the north of the low than expected..

Yummy!

Nothing for meee

Afternoon all, as it's now officially blinking cold out thought it was about time to check in for the season. Apologies to all you regulars for trespassing in your space, can't help myself, merest whiff of a snowflake, I'm instantly 7 again and this is the best place ever for mutual excitement/wishful thinking/commiserating. 

Locals round here are reporting the goats have come down off the top of the hills and are wandering around Cheddar Gorge, apparently a guaranteed sign of cold weather setting in. Can't personally verify this as in the two years we've lived here, I've only seen 29 snowflakes. Coming home today about 4pm it was 2c on top of the Mendips, 4c down here in the Cheddar Valley. Not holding my breath for the 30th snowflake to appear but the hills are literally at the end of my street, a short walk to snowy hilltops.
