I'm just down the road from you and we dipped below freezing about 6pm, but warmed up an hour later. We do seem to be the land weather forgets. Except frost.

You should be OK, Benson is in a notorious frost pocket. 1C here now, what sort of cold spell can't get below freezing at night?

No - on the rain side of the ubiquitous NW to SE boundary. GFS 18z was better for here, towards the western edge of the area, but  would get a dusting.

NMM 18z has moved the snow from Scotland to Wales, but no further south or west: http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/wrfnmm.php?map=20

Arpege 18z closer to Euro 4, but with more favourable snow spread: http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/arpege.php

11:25pm BBC News 24 forecast looks closest to the Arpege 18z, which should give a covering here if I have observed that correctly.

Yes, I noticed that too. I hate to be the bearer of bad news and whatnot, but Bristol is in the rain. As are we.

You're not alone, Southwesterners.

I'll be amazed if it hasn't shifted west by the time the 00z have rolled out.

Notorious frost spot indeed. Our record was -16.5 in 2010. Almost a month of sub zero or close to temps :cold:

It hasn't dropped below 2.0°C here, but it is rising though.
