Looks like the chance of more snow tomorrow then a thaw out sunday and early next week.  Then another low later next week that could bring more cold.

I must admit I had to bite my tongue earlier in the week as I as did many on here suspected something was going to happen but couldn't say for certain because of the lack of agreement between the models. I'm just glad we got snow as all too often we've seen the GFS forecast snow only for it to downgrade it to rain.

I took a bit of a risk opening my mouth, my instinct was to stay stay quiet, but had a good feeling on this one, mainly due to Catacol originally and then the bullishness of the met office helped.

Pleased it came off anyway, had a great day and seems everyone is happy. All good.

It's funny that 24 hours ago in a group Facebook chat a mate was adamant that it wouldn't snow in Portsmouth after I posted a screenshot of the netweather radar and said it's going to snow. He was reminded by another mate that I was the weather buff of the group so was probably going to be right and thanks to all the resources and experts on here I was right.

*thanks to this forum* told the Thursday night football lads last week, that "by next week we wont be playing because of snow" - was met with a few puzzled looks and a few sniggers, lol, well guess what, no football tonight! Thanks guys

I love these shapes. Nature is the Master artist.

Can give some better pics tomorrow, cant do it justice in this light. Just had a little walk, there is a drain on the road, and a perfect circle around it, magical shapes

Where in Somerset are you Bazray?

Nether Stowey, must be in some sort of sweet spot lol, woke up at 7am and was already white and literally has not stopped snowing once all day. They don't really grit or plough here, so people will be stuck here until it thaws. saw a few cars stuck down the road earlier. Really not a good idea to even try driving on this. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

must have a foot and a half here now, still going strong as well. Crazy. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Seems Emma and the beast are not giving up in any hurry.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Still heavy snow here, quite remarkable, has not stopped all day.

Very heavy snow now, road completly burried, been snowing since 7am. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Been snowing all day here, starting to pick up in intensity now. Met Office app said it would not start snowing till 3 but am burried already. Bring on the main event

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

The attached image is a prediction at 5:15 as far forward as it will go atm.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Settling nicely - going to get burrried here ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

All aboard

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

-4.4 and fairly heavy snow, what a great way to wake up ???

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Minus 5 here tonight, feels much colder, just had to bring the pet rabbit in, should have done it a bit sooner really. Just got an email from the schools saying it will open tomorrow but if things get bad you will need to pick your kids up (seven mile drive on B roads) brilliant, prob good idea not to send them?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Bob on westcountry news said potential for heavy blizzards in the strong winds. Showed the whole of the west under heavy snow. Hope your wrong AJ.

Yes Ian was rushed tonight. The producers of Points West obviously felt a story about knitted knockers (see Points West FB page) deserved more airtime than the forecast for the potential of quite severe weather in our region over the next few days.

As always, Ian was a true professional and did his best to fit as much in as he could in such a short space of time rushing through tomorrow’s forecast to get to Thursday.

Sadly this happens all too often on Points West with Ian given little time to deliver his forecast; even at times of severe weather. I like Points West but sometimes the program can be a waste of half an hour apart from the weather forecast.

Yea we have amber warnings over our region, and they are chatting about knitted boobs (apparently they use them to teach expectant mothers how to breast feed, I mean it cant be that difficult right?)and KFC running out of chicken! could not make it up ?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Will deffo bank that forecast, big heavy blizzard followed by a warm up in the tempratures - absolutely love snow, bit not so much cold, ok in small doses, seems we get the best of both worlds here. Win

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Just added this to my emergency supplies, its for friday, if we get blizzards then will have a wee nip in celebration - no blizzards then will down it to drown sorrows. Win-Win.

Hang on i've not seen anything for 24 hours here. Is everything cancelled now? I hope now i've just spent a few £100's on new clothes etc! Not to mention the snow sledge

No nothing cancelled, bit of a downgrade in terms of longetivity though  biut still looking great for Thur / Fri with the potential for blizzards as the cold air meets the moist atlantic air. All good - you will need those clothes and sledges, keep the faith.
