South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards

Does anyone think showers will make it this far West today?

Would like another dusting before the main event tomorrow.

I've had my starter, today could be the fish course & tomorrow/Friday the main & Saturday can be dessert

I’ve got a great vantage point as I’m high up over shanklin. And the snow cloud,be it light. Looks like it could go on for a while! South Wight could do well here! 

Looking out to sea you can see the bank of cloud. Trying to beckon it my way.

Got my eye on this, should pep up between iow and us hopefully as well

I’m almost on the end point of the iow and the snow cloud looks like it’s building well. You could do very well mate!

Like yesterday, snow showers are possible pretty much anywhere today.  However, the focal point for frequent, heavy snow showers are South Devon, East Cornwall and the southern coastal towns including the Isle of Wight where small accumulations are possible.

Further north in the region the snow shower risk is more isolated, especially the later in the day it is.

Now it's light I can just see a smidgen of Cu and high Sc, so apart from the cold, it's a cracking morning.

Is it not snowing where you are? Been snowing here over an hour.

[Dorsetbred]

Watching the streamer in the channel, from Bournemouth, it's a fine sight to behold first thing in the morning, convective trail as far as the eye can see.

[SteveB]

Nothing here. I could see the clouds the other side of the Channel as I was going up the M5  to Clevedon. 

Very clear here & Temps has dropped again, currently -4.6c

Clouds looked like they might be dropping a fair bit of snow.  Are you getting a covering?

[Evening thunder]

Breeze never dropped but it still got to -5.3C, which is quite impressive without an inversion and I'm not sure I remember getting that low in this situation. Although last year had -5.5C on a calm night and many years get -5C, also mins are not a patch on December 2010 (-14.0C).

South coast towns around here down to -4/-5C and they can struggle to get below freezing in winter.

[meshellby]

We still have our snow covering from yesterday afternoon, good base layer for the next couple of days hopefully!! 

[Evening thunder]

Crazy conditions on the top of Dartmoor tomorrow!


This is for Yes Tor. Feels like -22C, and then gusting to 74 mph in the evening

Looking at that precipitation on the radar,it looks like it is coming to an end after being there constantly out at sea for the last couple of days.Would be nice if we caught something from it but probably not knowing our luck.

@karlos1983 definitely a northerly drift on the bank of cloud out over the sea

Dusting but it's weird the snow is so dry and powdery it's drifting into pavements.

I'm thinking of getting in the car and following the cloud to experience persistent snow.

[Fred Sykes]
