Fascinating, or maybe sad! That I've been watching the little streamer form over the Bristol Channel heading in over Minehead and surrounding areas around Exmoor

Merry Christmas fellow South Westerners! seasons greetings to you all. Nice to wake up with a frost this morning. Min temp showed -1.8 overnight here in N W Bristol. Here's hoping for a few sliders to just clip the SW over the next couple of months

Still a little hail in shaded areas from the thunderstorm 3 hours ago that briefly turned to sleet and snow on its back edge after temps took rather a large tumble from 4.3 to 1.6 in NW Bristol. Currently gorgeously sunny and feeling rather pleasant out of the wind at 6.8 degrees.

Morning all, I guess there are some happy bunnies around! I'll join in with the snow pics too, if I may. NW Bristol currently 0.4 degrees and snowing a good 'un

Poor Ian looked a bit chilly on the BBC roof just now, mind you, I think he was enjoying it really. Graphics showed patchy snow most of tomorrow.

Usually only post when it's snowing here in North West Bristol so that says it all - as Fergie has recently tweeted it took its time but get in there! Moderate snow currently. Temp 0.6 and falling

Didn't our forecasting guru @Nights King predict this a little earlier??

Snow getting going well again now. Just as I get in from a mammoth sledging session on Filton golf course. Only about 1 cm of fresh snow but more to come this afternoon, me thinks ⛷ Thank god I invested my last old-style tenner last night wisely on my favourite tipple (Newcy Brown)

I fear the same. Seems to be just skirting us for the past couple of hours.

Yep. Seems to have got heavier with slightly larger flakes over the past few minutes.

Correct! Remember it so well. Absolutely lethal stuff. Er indoors had her own ice skates and was the only one who could venture outside without falling on their derrièr!

Definitely moderate snow now here in North Bristol and starting to pile up rather nicely. Would go out and measure it but really can't be bothered As a rough guess, I'd say 5-6 cm of level snow and the best drift I saw earlier was where it had all blown inside the garage!

If there wasn't all this snow forecast, I'd meet you in the Beaufort for a few! ?

Guys & Gals, not exactly a regular poster but have been pretty much glued to all of your musings. I have to say, it's looking good, even overnight tonight in many places but still trying to contain my excitement and play it down in my very nearly 47 year old head as well as still not breaking the golden rule and letting the family know the potential of what the next couple of days or so may bring. I'm with you all of the way and let's hope we'll be raising a few pints of gin ? in the coming days, whatever it may bring.

Second bout of snow currently from this little trough in NW Bristol. Wet snow variety so very unlikely to settle. Mesmerising as always to watch though I really should be getting on with some work crap photo but it's definitely white and fluffy. Wind quite gusty too. Temp 1.9
