[katemart]

Had a little bit of drizzle this afternoon but mostly it's been snow on-and-off since noon. Nothing settling though.

Currently 2.3C, DP -2.0C, Wind due East 1 Bft.

[Mapantz]

It's raining here too but this is only a weak upper front, nothing to worry about.

[jtay]

Not raining here jy. It's not doing anything.

Next village up from Downton.

[Blizzardof82]

has the earlier precip thats now over swindon skirted around bristol? i know its not the main stuff but just wondering

Yes none here!

[Beast of Plympton]

Oh dear it's not looking good for us Devonians according to the latest Met update. Think iM going to have to stay up all night to hopefully see some snow falling, sounds like heavy rain for us in the morning. I really hope it's a bit more SW than forecasted.

Says heavy snow up until midday to 3pm for Princetown, make your may up here!!

[galacticwarrior]

Now snowing lightly here, a dusting on surfaces, however flakes have been falling since 15:15, quite a pleasant suprise!

Light snow here in North Hampshire ....not expecting much

.....but is settling on some surfaces such as the grass...giving a nice whitish tinge as it gets dark

[gottolovethisweather]

But still number 1!

You are the big chief and will always be.

[divadee]

Very light rain here. Haven't checked temps as only just got in but feels quite warm.

What have I missed being out all day? Are we in bournemouth still going to be lucky?

[mattrout92]

It's been snowing very lightly in Reading for about the last hour, just starting to fall a little faster and with bigger flakes now

[SNOW CRYSTAL]

Definitely will do Beast. I don't even mind if we only got a couple of cms, will just be so disappointed to see rain yet again!!

I would be very suprised if you don't get any, you are around 200m asl so you have that to your advantage.

[galacticwarrior]

Now moderate snow falling with most surfaces covered.

Likewise here in Poole, some heavier spots now.

Currently 3.4°C and has been for around 6 hour.

Our cold air has taken a hike come back!

[DanDorsetUK]

Expecting the winds to pick up in Bournemouth area soon, still warm and flat and rainy Temperature 5.1 °C Dew Point 0.3 °C

We might be out splashing in puddles at this rate!!

Temps rising here all day here now 5.1c with a southerly wind.

Barring a change of wind direction to easterly, and advection of colder temps overnight, I can only see rain falling here tomorrow.

[Beast of Plympton]

Currently 1.1c here now. No snow, had some earlier today but only very light.

[Jamie R]

Light snow falling here (im in Calbourne on the IOW) with a temp of 1.8c.

Much the same in Brighstone although the snow isn't being picked up by the station as yet.

[jy]

Thanks jtay wind looked Southerly too,anyway only a tad above freezing so might see some snow,but rain not a good start lol

[divadee]

I'm hoping the tomorrow afternoon and evening changes to the heavy snow forecast earlier in the day.

[Lynxus]

What worries me from a IMBY perspective is the wests ability to completely miss gloucester.

Like the front today.. It broke up and "skirted" here while it then re-builds to my east.

I really hope tomorrow isnt the same with heavy to my north, south, east and west with this strange block that seems to defend gloucester from the western attacks..

Ever since the wind shifted to SW earlier today the temps have been warm, right now it's still veering SW - W
