Wind picking up here a little now. Will that green area take the m3, a34 or head back up the m5

How strange, you should be having some reasonable snow falling ATM

I'll look in another 5 What radar is this on?

What might be occurring is that the PPN is evaporating before reaching the surface, so while you may have a area of light or moderate PPN above your heads, it may be evaporating!

Its very common it colder weather!

[Andrew snow hope]

It's certainly coming further east, that blob looks like it could break off! Could get interesting on a small scale

He's lying?

I can't keep posting charts but you currently have some heavy stuff over you right now Sb.

Actually her weather station is showing 2.3c AT and 0.7c DP so quite possibly not snow BUT........ there must be something falling?

[Dean E]

Yes, can say the area currently over the IOW to Basingstoke, Including Southampton, is where it is currently intensifying... If this is a new trend that wasn't forecast, then we shall have to wait and watch!

GTLTW, have you noticed this too?

Starting to look a bit more promising!

Wow, I did not know that. Thanks SnowMania, I guess that explains a lot of the reports in this thread and other regionals.

Our time will come and it may well yet be this morning.

[Andrew snow hope]

Seems to be growing and spreading down m3 and a34

Seems like a m4 snow job.... The usual is north of m4... this time south of m4 seems to have a better chance..
