Wind really picking up here and the green 'blob' over Cardiff is expanding back East! And snow starting to fall.

Hi - do you have a link to that or could you have a look at the nw corner of north Devon? The one I looked at earlier had it missing us.

Nope. Just shown on This Morning (ITV). A 'forecast' radar graphic from Meto i guess. They ran the loop. SW Yes, Bristol and to East looks like more marginal going by that radar prediction.

Your area looks right in firing line.

Anyone using phone weather apps - they will be hours behind with forecasts.

Thanks mate - nothing at the mo. Any idea why the bbc might be predicting rain / sleet for tonight? I was under the impression any precipitation would fall as snow with temps this low. Still learning about all this !

 

[Timer]

Heavier here now - fine snow grains blowing in a strengthening wind. Temp -2.4C

Are the tiny little grains basically frozen drizzle? No flakes in sight just to do with moisture more than temp??? 

[snowponies]

Bit concerned now, have gone home and cancelled my jobs on the moors as that wind is unbearable! I live in the orange zone but my horses and a client's horses all live in the red zone! How good is a Toyota rav4 in heavy snow?? 

[Moleyroley]

Really starting to pick up on Portland, I keep needing excited wees ! ?

[Skullzrulerz]

Can now say i'm starting to get snow flurries in Scredda (St Austell) It seems to be early as amber warning is not 2pm?

[Isleofwightsnowgal74]

Well done all you getting snow can’t lie pretty gutted we miss out again but deep down expected it! Downgraded continuously and pushed bk for us on met office and the most pathetic tiny flakes cmg down right now ? roll on next winter ....

[Zephyr]

That area of ppn to the south looks huge.

Slightly less cold air will probably follow up behind later tonight to affect southern most areas i think

I think Dartmoor National Parks have asked everyone to stay well away from the moor. Sounds harsh but you can’t put yourself at risk for them.

[jethro]

My anally retentive neighbour across the road is outside blowing the snow off his drive with a leaf blower. I cannot wait to see him later/tomorrow  What's there at the mo is billowing up in front of him, whipping over his shoulder and promptly settling behind him  Oh and I'm hereby switching to this mode.... With a large dose of this if the forecast is anywhere near accurate

[Skullzrulerz]

A tad worrying that in a space of watching this rader it's slowly turning sleet/rain in the channel?

[Chesil View]

very fine crystaline snow falling here but its falling very heavily

[iowpompeylee]

There seems to be a lot of green in that can’t coming this way! I do hope it’s going to be gunned down by the cold air! Or we are screwed!

@dryjoy the uni is closing. Hope you get back safely.
