  1. Still flashing and rumbling away. Almost two hours in. Heavy showery rain and as others have said T & L seems to be coming and going, building and moving off and then onto the next round ! Not that windy though
  2. Woken around 12.50 to some thunder and lightening. According to map, closest it got so far was just off of Paignton pier. Monumental rain right now….. bouncing
  3. Got a covering here now on cars and pavements. Wow that was quick! Still coming down past the lamppost, although lighter now
  4. Wind has really picked up now and it is now snowing horizontally from that shower I posted earlier. Two snow showers in one season! Must be a new record
  5. Lots of ice out there this morning. Had a few heavy showers before daybreak and turned everything into an ice rink. Multiple accidents reported in the area !
  6. Haha, yes virtually snowless (apart from the famous - march 18 event when even we had some 8inches of snow!) Although as we speak intensity is waining. Nice to see it falling under street lamp nonetheless.
  7. Yes, rumbled through here around 2.55. Now moved off. Crazy rain here now
  8. Reverted back to rain after a period of ice pellets/hail here. To be expected.
  9. Snowing a little heavier here now. Not settling but nice to see and quite rare in these parts.
  10. Just started raining lightly here too. Been watching radar for a while and it says that it should be snow from much earlier but has been dry.
  11. Sugar coating on some surfaces here with a intermittent medium bursts and still very lightly snowing on the edge of Torbay.
  12. Collaton st Mary area. Very marginal. Can now hear intermittent heavy rain/sleet on the window. Can see Totnes and west towards Dartmoor doing v well !
  13. Can confirm light rain here now, edit now stopped. Wet covering of snow on ground 1-2cm max. Main band gone through here according to radar. Must of been the intensity? Not sure how much of a covering will be left when daylight breaks as can hear the drip, drip.
  14. Can confirm snow is falling and a wet covering on all surfaces. outskirts of Torbay ~1.5 miles from coast.
  15. Showers been building right over us and moving north, north east all afternoon. One being around 4 this afternoon. A few large hail stones on the window, nothing more. yet friends in torquay and newton Abbott reporting full on heavy hail, thunder and lightning! Another heavy shower hit here about an hour and half ago.
  16. Wow, i can't believe the difference. I drove back this morning with 8inches at home on the edge of Torbay. Worried i wouldn't get out of my road, the main roads where fine. As soon as i drove past the Ivybridge junction on the A38 it was like driving into spring, totally green. Now sat at my uni digs near derriford hospital would not know what all the fuss was about! Just a dusting here, can imagine what its like up there though as i normally take that route home if i want a scenic drive back! Truly epic couple of days at home though. A weekend that will live long in the memory.
  17. Chucking it down here again on the edge of paignton/torbay. Just got back from a walk where it was very windy and the precip turned sleety for a while. Now back to proper snow ! Edit: measured 13cm on table out in the back garden before lunch. Must be more now.
  18. Chucking it down here on the edge of paignton and laying on everything fast! Heaviest I’ve seen it here in my 25 years.
  19. Happy sun'snow'day! Snow stopped here. skies looking ominous out to my south east. only have about an inch, roads and garden paths are fine. good luck all, stay safe and have fun!
  20. Snowing here moderate to heavy at times. Just starting to lay on hills just outside of torbay.
