Finally! The Met decide to issue a new yellow warning for this snow. Took them long enough. It’s not like it’s just appeared.

How that doesn’t include us is beyond me lol 

I know and ive hardly seen anything yet. Band has intensified for Bristol but still struggling to make westward progress towards me and keeps breaking up.

[Bristawl Si]

Moderate snow here. All white again. No wind at all

I'm just about to give up on this band delivering anything meaningful here. 

Surely we can't miss out, seems we are in the sweet spot 

Scrap that, we do indeed seem to missing out on the heavy stuff. For sum reason it dies out before getting here then peps up again to the west of us

Because you weren't here in the wee hours last night, I got the drinks round mixed up and got Jethro a Gin. She wasn't impressed.

Met Office automated forecasts are just wrong again!!

If you compare, say, the latest ARGEPE with the radar, it's pretty bang on. And interestingly it shows a possible return to a bit of snow first thing tomorrow morning! Maybe it's not over even now?

Still the lightest of snizzle here in Portsmouth, we may have managed an inch here this evening, but if be surprised to see a revival now until that last chance saloon first thing in the morning.

Roads, pavements and my car are being recovered with snow.

Wonder if the schools will have to reconsider opening in the morning?

That bit at the top is Stanmore Lane is steeper than you think. Not surprised you saw cars stalling there.

Oooh - intensifying just as it gets to Bristol 

Seems to be a mini snow machine just before Bristol atm. Every frame it gets better. 

[Cakie]

From reports from friends down in the South West I would check if schools are open in the morning 

[karlos1983]

It’s like the bottom of the M23 is the tap feeding the snow band lol
