Right that does it I'm off out to stick the cover on the windscreen, an early start so prefer a clear screen..

 

Don’t panic it’s back up to 0.1°C now  

[Mapantz]

Temp has risen to 0.6°C here.

 

[CheesepuffScott]

It got down to 0.4°C and is now 0.6°C

[CheesepuffScott]

Now down to 0.0°C after that brief spike

[Dorsetbred]

Will you guys stop winding me up, rushing out to take the cover off, now back out to put it back on....based on the fact it's -0.2°C here, it's staying on..

[Jack Minall]

Where's this come from then?

[Mike Poole]

First snowfall of the winter here yesterday, fairly slushy sloppy affair but nice to see, froze pretty much straight after, and actually there is still ice remaining tonight.

Wishful thinking...maybe?

I don't believe this will happen what so ever, that's why I made the post, unless you're saying that it's wishful thinking the Met Office? 

[Nights King]

Minus 2 currently with snow still laying on lawn and shady pavements. Only dusting though. 

[matt111]

After a brief rise back up to 0.1°C it's dropped quickly to -0.6°C now.

BBC Points West showed a few showers moving South tomorrow so given how cold the air is it's possible.

Wait what? When did the model thread go down for an hour, DiagonalRedLine just apologised but I never noticed it disappear?

[CheesepuffScott]

Stuck at -0.5°C here

I haven’t been on for an hour so I’m not sure

[Frosty hollows]

-5c here and misty

[matt111]

@Leon1 @CheesepuffScott It disappeared for about half an hour earlier. 

-0.9°C here now.

[Leon1]

Flatlining at 0.0°C

[CheesepuffScott]

Still -0.5°C here

-1.1°C here. Colder than some of you further inland.

It’s shocking!

[Mapantz]

Clouded over here.

[meshellby]

Do I bother going into the MAD thread tonight? What’s the mood like in there???

I wouldn't bother, all a bit rubbish tonight. Hopefully tomorrow the models will pick out on something to make us cold?

I know this is a long shot but I'm bored:

Does anyone in the West Country remember a very good rain to snow event in 2005/2006? (There's a possibility it could've been the winter before... although I'm pretty sure I was in my last year in college.) I remember it rained heavily all morning and then turned to snow early in the afternoon. The reason why it sticks out in my mind because they were the biggest flakes I'd ever seen. We must've got 3-4 inches in less than a couple hours.

I know that doesn't narrow it down very much... but thought there's a chance somebody knows what I'm talking about. Would be cool to see the charts that produced that snow.
