Can't speak for Dorset but there is here!

Looking at the radar (god help me) there seems to be some snow moving NW!

John Holmes in Model Discussion Thread seems to be indicating that precipitation could be sleety tomorrow, aside from way inland and/or moors - you'll be alright Matt

Very lightly snowing here in Wimborne, so light it is 'snizling' !

Still dunno why you don't just use the free radar at http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ - not quite as good, but it does the job!

You should be fine for the while if things become marginal, being over the Moor. Obvs.

I'm not sure it will be sleety anywhere away from the immediate coast, but then I'm not even going to pretend to know that much about the weather, just seems too cold everywhere, and also at odds with every prediction thus far including from the NAE, infact its supposed to be very dry snow

Confusing to say the least, and by this time tomorrow we will know for sure

Peer pressure my friend, that and as was rightly pointed out, it's only £3.49. Can't be bad.

did anyone watch the weather on bbc

[yipikiaye]

Netweather best bar none.I only get it when its winter months and we can expect the white stuff.Dont bother otherwise.That said i wouldve thought the amount of people that do get the radar goes up more during winter than any other time

Anyone know why the bl##dy BBC graphics keep changing every half hour? Looks really patchy for the south west tom.

Ian earlier said it was hard for the graphics to show light snow without looking like a white out, so they tend to just hint at it.

The charts he put up showed snow pretty much all day from 3am onwards tomorrow albeit light and powdery.

And on that note, I'm off for the night, have fun!
