Nope , no snow , but clouds are arriving and they have that orange glow about them . However , I think it's still a tad too warm for us yet . 

[Nights King]

Snow starting to settle here on mendip 

[Gibby]

Just a bit too far South of precipitation band here currently. Down to 1.7C and the odd flurry in the wind but that’s all.

[Bristawl Si]

Really heavy snow falling now. Any chance it'll get to freezing or below in early hours so it's still laying come brekkie time?

[SMU]

The PPN band is pushing south & East - heavier stuff running along a line from Chippenham down to Glastonbury 

places in the heavy snow zone like Gloucester could do very well...

Yep! The orange 'glow' is appearing now. I was meant to be going to bed by midnight! A few thatchers earlier this eve now followed by a couple of bacardi&cokes!

A full on snow storm in the north of Gloucestershire . The traffic map on the iPhone pretty much shows the areas copping it with orange showing slow moving traffic .

That's bonkers, I'm about a mile and a half away and it's really coming down well here, beginning to settle too, despite everything being soaking from the earlier rain.

[Bristawl Si]

It is almost real whiteout here!

Christmas card scene outside now.

also PPN to the NW of that line intensified across 1230-1245 radar grab

[Ciderwithrosie]

Just checked temp on a weather station I my very local area and it's 1.1 C so who knows what might happen . 

Wind gusting at 20-30 mph 

[ThundersnowDays]

Not anything yet to be honest except for rain but there could be some sleet in there. 

[Dean E]

Evening all, 

Been a wet evening so far. Temperature now dropping from 7c at midnight to 5c now. 

[noggin]

No gritting here yet.....doesn't bode well for the morning. May have to drive daughter to work....she only passed her test 2 weeks ago!

[Bristawl Si]

Our back garden has no security lights, it backs on to school playing fields; there is no lighting but the snow is so heavy it doesnt need light to see it falling and settled.

[gloucesterlad]

And still heaving it down here in Quedgeley south of Gloucester. Looks like a lot more to come as we appear to be in the swivel area

Heaviest since Dec 2010 I reckon

Happy Days !

This is so awesome, really heavy now, so much better than the last snowfall the  other week. 

[bellanite]

Just started settling here! Quedgely and Bristol look awesome.

So glad some people who missed out last time are getting snow. Hopefully more wake up to a snowy surprise 

Now 0.9 in Stroud

[SMU]

Could be a few inches in the sweet zones !

[MP-R]

Heavy snow here too. Ventured out of bed to look and its settling everywhere. Hope it keeps going and is all still there in the morning!
