Interesting structure...

That threw hail down when it passed through Swindon, didn't hear any thunder.

Wind speeds and gusts are still forecast to be higher than last night, so it makes no sense.

Thanks, I thought I was going mad! Sure there were yellow warnings earlier. Then I thought they were in the process of changing them and another would pop up but no. I've tweeted Fergie to find out whats happened!

I likes me an Atlantic storm, looking forward to tonight in to tomorrow  

I thought we had a storm into Saturday / Sunday. Has icon backed away from that now? Yellow warnings dropped. Think I'm getting my storms confused. :)

This is now pretty much the longest spell of continuous snow I can remember since moving here in 1992.   And still it falls!

I just said the same to my work colleague. Started later than planned but it’s made up for it and still falling in Swindon.

At one point I did wonder if we would actually get any lol. I’ll post pictures when it’s lighter outside.

Dry in Swindon at the moment. Just did a quick walk around the estate. Not even a drop or flake in the wind.

Spoke too soon, the smokers tell me its just starting to spit with rain here now.

That’s a shame. 0.4°C was my overnight low, currently 0.6°C - looks like the cloud really held it up here

Similar here, forecast -5c, got +2c.. damned cloud. at least I didn't have to scrape the car today!

[#NameOurStorms: is it a good idea?]

Wasn’t it last winter our Met Office seemed to always wait for the Irish met to name it? Maybe just seemed like it. Does seem odd to name it now. Has there been an unexpected change in the observations in the last hour I wonder? 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/12/2018 Onwards]

Temp got to 1.7c max with frost and ice staying on cars, roofs and in gardens out of direct sun today. Temp now 0c

Snowing in Swindon, huge wet flakes

[9th November Possible Storm]

Surprised its not been named given the amber warning now out. I thought that was one of the criteria.

According to that fount of all knowledge - the Sun - Katla is going to blow its top. https://apple.news/AcsxDLvtNSFyPfNheAaDVeQ

Should I be worried? Not that I am as it is the Sun. 

Defo seems like its building up to something and it does sound like its overdue a biggie, I wouldn't be worried, there is not much we can do about it.  When will it go up ... I don't think the experts really know and they have said as such in reports today. I understand this volcano is often more active in the autumn. I did read somewhere that if it goes up you should be able to hear the explosion as far away as Paris. No idea if that's really true or not.

Snowing lightly in Swindon ?

Yup, I live on Crombey Street and am spending the evening watching people drive too fast and having crashes. Seen 5 bumps so far!

Oh not far away, I’m Bath Road. No accident here, it’s flat on my bit!

Still snowing in Swindon, light and slowly building up

The only one to call it right was a weatherman someone mentioned on here and said his reputation as on the line! Look like he called it right when he said the whole

system would be 100 miles further north

Love this radar image from NW with what almost looks like a vortex shape over Hampshire with an eye over Swindon

Yep not snowing or raining or anything in my bit of Swindon

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards]

Apparently it’s big snow flakes in Keynsham Bristol now. Here in Swindon it’s white!
