How are my often forgotten sw coldies doing? 

Remember folks this snow now isn’t in relation to the main low ! 

 

All good here Nick, freezing cold light snow starter, looking forward to main course later.

There’s a few instability’s in form of wobblers, but in the main we are happy folk and Loking forward to this afternoon and evening Nick! All looks on course! ?

Warbler or wobblers 

Not seen many of these today 

[SilverWolf]

Will there be much of a ‘gap’ between the snow now and the main snow later? Wondering if the low will be moving faster than the snow we have now.

[Nights King]

The current snow is a bonus . It’s off a front moving nw, the main snow doesn’t arrive till later.

Its an upper warm front which heads nw and then west , the next front associated with the main low arrives this afternoon and evening .

This could be our generations 1978. We are thrilled! Think the m4 barrier will reversed and stop snow heading north!!! Lol

[wiltshire weather]

Hirlam is pretty accurate for the current conditions!

Wow, for only the second time ever (the first being 2010) I've got snow being blown about in a strong gusts. It's mesmerising!

Large flakes but not many of them now.

I don't think I'm going to get much done today... Shame it's too early for gin.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Full on blizzard!

That's fair enough 

I'm pretty sure it was during our cold spell of 87 / 88 

[nick sussex]

Before people worry about this upper warm front , it’s not changing the air mass in front of the main low.

I’m sure many here would say it’s never too early. 

[Ciderwithrosie]

And snowing in Taunton , horizontally ! But hey it's snowing . I did have my doubts I have to say . My little weather station says it's -4.4 and predicts further snow . 

Are you going in to your place of work dec'10? I'mnot working o a Thursday at the Moment  so will be at home , however tomorrow could be fun if this lot sticks and settles . 

[Wilxy]

Getting much heavier here big flakes now!

[Ben Sainsbury]

The flakes are huge here right now, and winds definitely picking up, can't even imagine what it is going to be like with heavier snow later.

[noonoo418]

Met Office forecast woefully out this morning, delayed snow risk til Midday and yet it's been snowing steadily since 7am....
