Lots of people still on then? Tried to sleep.. Got a cup of tea. Wondering how long it would take our arsenal of snow ploughs to free the country .. they will have to keep going for days on the same patches - possibly. Or, not. Who knows. 

I haven't tried to sleep yet. I guess i probably should do soon, just as the radar looks to be coming to life.

Looks like there's even an Exmoor streamer tonight.

Radar has a lot to answer for lately. I've watched numerous showers pass over my location today and not many of them dropped anything until later on. Could be virga but more likely, modelling error. I've got it up right now and the northern most streamer doesn't seem to have moved much. It looks earmarked for us but believe me, it should have been here hours ago.

Thin layer of clouds have moved in but the moon is extremely bright with a halo around it. -6.5C now

Rare as hens teeth.

Well even though radar doesn't really pick it out unless you can zoom in, I have very light snow right now. I've been expecting that band to reach us, all through the night. I might do! There are many showers popping up now.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Anyone else struggling to sleep lol? I'm like a kid waiting for tomorrow.

[knocker]

Partly cloudy. temp -4C DP -7C and a breeze from the ENE

[karlos1983]

Overnight low and new record Minimum temperature of -6.1c 

overnight low DP and new record of -9.6c

mixed feelings for imby for tomorrow/Friday 

Aperge the most aggressive for PPN.

met o have me down for light snow all day, but we shall see.

EDIT: EURO4 none to shabby either

[Jayfromcardiff]

Snowing here!

[karlos1983]

Hoping that PPN near the IOW can push north and bulk up a bit ??

[West is Best]

Devon and Cornwall are going to get hammered on Thursday into Friday. Without a shadow of doubt they should be under a Red warning.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Dusting already, these showers are popping out of nowhere!

[Argyle1980]

have to say the Radar is looking rather tasty right now for us down in Cornwall ?

[John88B]

Snowing here in Yate giving a nice dusting.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Just laying the foundations for tomorrow lol.

[divadee]

We have woken up to a smattering (I feel like that is a word but not sure this early ) on the top of cars here in central Bournemouth. 

Tomorrow on the Meto app is still looking good but off to have a look in the MAD thread.
