[Nick Croker]

Just joined the group and enjoying all the comments, i'm in Warminster and it's snowing much heavier now but not settling  i even fixed my outside temp gauge today so my station is back working of sorts.

Seems to be a good precipitation feed going on between the two systems.

what's everyone's thoughts on this afternoon? Looking at the radar there doesn't seem to be heavy precip in the midlands/wales? Have they got it wrong??

[matt111]

Shows how quick it’s dropping as it’s gone from 5.7°C to 5.4°C in about a minute.

Hi farmer 

 

where abouts are you based? 

[chris55]

Never seen so much snow falling, though wasn't really building up due to higher dew points. 

Still got a huge dump of slushey snow this morning and now starting to settle properly at my level ( 80m asl), prob about 2-3 inches. ( Stroud glos)

straight up the hill it a winter wonderland with 4 inches of much dryer snow.

Plenty of snow maybe later this afternoon. Heavier ppn to feed around the low pressure system.

[jtay]

From 9C at 9am this morning, it's now 3.5C. Garden furniture scattered around the garden and it's now sleeting. Really interesting day.... and Saints are winning at half time.

Right in the eye.

Wow this picture is amazing! You can really tell how the wind changes.So once that goes through you should see the temp drop.

 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Sleet here.Some big flakes

[Polar Bear]

Seems a few stranded vehicles on a34 and m40 and police advising not to travel. I was going to go and Travel 7 miles up the road to see the white views. But best I stay put 

 

[matt111]

Still dropping, 4.9°C. Dry at the moment. 

[rh205]

Rain stopped here in Gosport. Currently: 6.2C dropping at -2.6C/hr. Wind speed decreasing and direction veering to WNW-NW.

 

[matt111]

In the absence of the met office app which seems to be having issues the ‘trusty’ iPhone weather app looks interesting for here. 

Also on there it should be 7°C now but it’s actually 4.8°C. 

Not clear from that image but that overnight into tomorrow morning.

Been snowing here quite heavily at times for the last 3hrs or so, but as yet, still not settled anywhere at all. 

Flakes generally too small and wet.

[EllyTech]

Winds calm here. Max gust 6 Km/hr. Direction 331 degrees. Pressure 977 hPa. Temp 0. Should imagine UHI in play here. 

Cheltenham

Keeping an eye on that heavier band along the coast, anyone under that yet?
