Is it just me or has the Met Office page gone into meltdown as it's showing 'Sorry We're experiencing a problem getting forecast data. Please refresh the page or try again in a few minutes' for the Gosport forecast.

Couple of inches here. Looking at the radar I am literally on the edge of the rain/ snow cut off.  Very unusual. 0c here atm and not a breath of wind

[windseeker]

Temperatures have risen from 2 deg up to Almost 6 here just outside Basingstoke in last half hour. Not looking good

A surprising amount of snow here. The M4 is literally the cut off between warm and cold sectors!

You're not wrong - I live a couple of miles south of Junction 12, at above 100m. 1cm of snow has been washed away by the rain. They have a few inches of snow in Reading, just 5 miles away and 40m high - although north of that road!!

[karlos1983]

Signs of the main snow band now starting to break up! Was hoping that wouldn’t happen until much later 

[ThundersnowDays]

Snowing in Bradford,very small flakes. Could be sleet.

Sorry was driving.

 

0c in the car but the snows too wet to settle on roads.

Yeah the temperature change over just a short distance is crazy, can clearly see the colder air coming in behind the low though!

Apparently it’s big snow flakes in Keynsham Bristol now. Here in Swindon it’s white! 

[Bristawl Si]

Sun and clouds. 21c here in Fuerteventura.

Our lad now lives near Gloucester and it has been snowing all morn.

[Mapantz]

Just managed a gust of 45mph. Not too shabby. Really wanted 51mph though. lol

[wallopweather]

Love this radar image from NW with what almost looks like a vortex shape over Hampshire with an eye over Swindon

Was just viewing Pooleyc and noted the same speed out in the harbour. Still raining but considerably lighter than overnight. You could still hit your 51mph yet as the pressure is still falling..

Lovely day here in Plymouth, early rain has cleared to leave a sunny, fresh winters day, perfect for a stroll along the sea front. Winter is by far my favourite season??

[o0herbie]

Rain has turned to sleet near M4 jc12. Tide is turning back...  

[Mapantz]

I know what I was going to say... I told @matt111 that the winds should literally go from nothing, to gales in pretty much an instant. That's exactly what happened this morning.

4mph to 34, then 40mph within minutes.

[Karl83]

Snowing in Stoke Gifford

[jessandjon]

I never knew not having snow could be so depressing!! ;-) I hope your all enjoying it and making super lovely memories!!! :-) What’s even more annoying is not only do I not have snow I also have to go to work this afternoon!! (Moan over!) 

[A.J]

rain's turned back to snow here after a partial thaw......light to moderate snow currently
