[Argyle1980]

Yes worked for me and you got a thunderclap on it for sure, nice back-lighting against the local Church.

Thank you .

[Beast of Plympton]

Very heavy sleet and strong winds!

 

Just up the road from me! A friend up on the moors has just told me that heavy snow has hit the moors and the roads are closed.

[Dale Hay]

Oh no...is my video working on here?

Downloaded it and it worked. Lovely and bright lightning and lovely sound of thunder. Well caught.

[Nights King]

Cold and frosty now with not a cloud to be seen. Had to scrape car to go to pub.

[katemart]

Evenin' all. Well, this is exciting!

 

Netweather gives me a 40% chance of torrential snow between 3 and 6am, with no snow-to-rain event to follow. Which is nice.

 

Meto give me sweet fa.

 

So of course I shall no doubt be up and down to the window all night and ticking the old man right off with the curtain twitching

 

Have a new boss who is a right old dragon, though, so no doubt will have to drag myself into work tomorrow no matter what.

 

Oh yeh, currently 3.7C, DP 0.7C. So a long way to go.

[Raidan]

Hmm rain alarm just went off and there's some red in the area of rain to the west maybe this if it hits will bring something of interest. Same here Chris will call it a night at the latest about 11 as got to be up early for work also

It has just started sleeting here with some wet flakes of snow mixed in within the heavier bursts.

 

Still some lightning in S Wales to...

[festivalking]

In light of tonight's excitement, we have all bypassed the fact that there is a storm brewing for tomorrow night, what can we expect here in the south west? How windy is it going to be?

 

One wonders how many will be back tomorrow night in here. I worry I'll be one of the deserters!

[Beast of Plympton]

Got heavy sleet here now.

[bellanite]

Big sleety flake falling here!!!

[John88B]

Snowing here in South Glos.

[Barbel]

Snow shower near Lyme Regis just now. Wind really picks up with each shower. Good luck all.

[Nights King]

No drink and driving

I wouldn't dream of it. Just 2 pints. However you must wonder how all these rural villages get any trade people must have a magic fairy take them home..

I'll just go back to lurking! Haha!

[Beast of Plympton]

Temperature dropping fast. 3.2c now.

Oh yes, I've heard there are many magic fairies in the shire

Use a carpet my self at times, either that r ring my dad who is a taxi driver...

[dancing daisy]

I drink at home, it's cheaper and I don't really like people that much.

 

Now, am I getting a snow day tomorrow?  It's v. cold here, but it's done nothing but rain, not even sleety stuff.

[kar999]

Thundersnow in a squall amongst the palm trees at Torquay!

[Wilxy]

Just went out in the garden to check on the new weather station and its still running well and while I was out there I noticed how beautiful it was seeing how it was clear overhead but can make out the shower alignment very well

Looks like The Osborne, overlooking Meadfoot bay - you staying there?

[karlos1983]

Temp 3.7C dp 0.4C here at moment. Not holding my breathe

[kar999]

Yep. That's the place. Travelling back up to Midlands tomorrow. Glad I didn't have to travel home tonight.

[fergieweather]

I think between 01:00 and 05:00 looks like a good time. More organised bands of what I suspect will be mainly snow likely over the West Country then.

Agreed. Trough circa 3am may extend snow showers across even to S of London (hence UKMO warning amended). Meanwhile, latest UKV and MOGREPS signal for snow remains particularly strong for Exmoor and Mendips especially. W Country remains under the 522 dam thermal trough until about 0900 tomorrow.
