Wow what a night and morning!!!! Snow settling in plymouth for a time (gone now) and thick thick snow on the moor on the 28th March.  To those who say it can't snow in March you are talking rubbish!!!

It was perfect conditions a pivoting front cold air no wind. Started raining at 3c just watched the temperature continuously falling. At 2c some thick looking rain. At 1.5c wet snow. At 1c the biggest flakes I've ever seen. Temperature eventually fell to -0.3c. Amazing evaporative cooling event!

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Temperature down to freezing huge huge flakes best I've seen since 2018. Shame it will gone by morning!

Heavy wet snow here at 200 metres on dartmoor. Princetown probably getting buried!

Brrrr colder than expected here. Dropping to 1.6 might get below 1

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

over night low of -4.6 which takes some doing for my location (always colder locally in the valleys) now at -3

Precarious if you ask me. I'm waiting for a NLy reload! 

Love the hebrides go all the time never seen it in the snow though. Seeing loads of photos of the islands covered. Guessing this northerly set up is the perfect one for you. 

The mood music on the models and here are favoring the potential of the scandi heights.  An easterly over the hebrides is password for sun sun sun!!!  If you can't have snow the next best thing.

Good luck with the stormy weather up there next week!

Very pleasant lunch break here. Out the breeze nice little sun trap

Very fine snow starting here - Tamar Valley. No idea where it's coming from as it's clear blue skies up there.

A rogue shower is working its way down the valley from the north.  But losing intensity.

Decent snow potential for Cornwall and North west Devon this morning.

Didn't expect this, haven't seen the forecast but not aware of any snow

Potentially a bit over cautious but if convection off the sea takes off there can be some interesting conditions in your neck of the woods.  The wording mainly mentions west and north wales.

You actually can’t make this up and if you’d said this would actually happen in the model thread 5days ago you’d have been laughed off the site! 
 

 

Conditions would have been perfect with this 50miles further north. No way there’s a better setup for this locations this year.

The ultimate slap in the face. So so close!

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Just had a look at the radar. Seems to be further north than what was modelled on the 15z ukv. Doubt it will make much difference but interesting all the same

Still time to change surely?  #Clutchingatstraws

Well there is always a chance. In 2013 it was the opposite we were all set with red warnings for snow and then it dived down to the channel islands.  But the model predictions are rock solid to miss us all just by a whisker.

How’s it looking for snow on the Isle of Wight tomorrow now?? Any updates? -6 here this morn and lovely and frosty 

Nothing doing I'm afraid like the rest of us you can wave at the band of snow as it passes just 20 miles to the south

-7.1C shame though the snow now looks a defo miss. Just a 50mile jog north and a bit of snow cover and -10C to -12C would have been possible Thursday night. 
 

I strongly suspect we’ll get now closer to a decent covering of snow this winter than this. 

Add it to the ever growing list of the ones that got away
