Come on low, stop piddling around and move south! -
Just heavy rain so far but no wind yet. Also only 2.5C.
-
Hovering at 1C here. I'd be happier if it were 0C.
-
Can't remember a rain to snow event in that winter. The last totally unexpected rain to snow event I remember is 11th January 2008 - floods followed by settling snow. That one put to bed the myth of snow not settling on sodden ground. Might you be thinking of 09th Feb 2007? That one was a constant alternation of snow and rain in central Bristol, and came on a Friday.

Going to Bath tomorrow to catch the end of the Christmas markets (that close ridiculously early in December!) and a number of forecasts I've seen are showing rain in the morning, a sharp drop in temperatures and snow in the afternoon. Impossible to know what might happen it would seem.
-
To top it off, we've lost our cold crisp day today.
-
Looks like tomorrow's snow is too far north and Monday's potential is too far south.
-
Similarly, I won't be going in the mod thread either this weekend. After yesterday's disappointment, I don't think I can take pleasure from watching the next one turn up. Would rather now have a cold high with some low minima, like last year, to get the temps down ahead of any snow.
-
Been snowing at Bristol Airport too apparently. Temps still too high for anything to settle at the moment. Some cold spell.
-
Don't worry. It's very wet snow and not settling here.
-
Snowing here at the moment, albeit wetly.
-
Need to get some properly cold air in first. Nothing too impressive at the moment.
-
I think I just saw a bit of scalp fly by my window...
-
It is. I don't know what's causing it as most of them are making it over the Welsh mountains. They obviously see Newport and die a death (as do I when I drive past it).
-
Yes, dp just below 0. Been watching that clump, bit too far east from here. Need stuff between Newport and Cardiff to stop evaporating lol.
-
Nothing so far here. Any showers have gone either side. Doesn't seem cold enough for snow either at 02.5C.
-
Much obliged! Fingers crossed.
-
Relying on your reports for early tomorrow morning for a potential drive over to the Mendips for a snowy walk.
-
Dp hovering just above 0 here and the temperature has stopped dropping. Still a little away from 'cold spell' territory. Hopefully temperatures will lower considerably before any showers arrive.
-
Not of course forgetting 2013, which I was sadly not in the country for. On a side note, I've always wondered why snow showers have so much more of a problem with the Welsh mountains than rain showers do.
-
Snap. 26 next year also.
-
Indeed Smartie! Also couldn't help but chuckle at Tomasz Schafernaker's mention of strong winds from Caroline's backside... (easily amused).
-
Give it time. Consistently falling here and most importantly the dew point is falling considerably. From 11-12C dps earlier on to 3C now.
-
... and that temperature is on the slide. 12C earlier, now down to 8.5C.
-
I think it may be time to bury the M4 (no pun intended) then the snowline doesn't have such an easy guideline!
