Amber warning very similiar to my thoughts earlier, ie South/South East Wales, Moors of the SW & areas around the A303/Mendips into Salisbury plain.

They have included inland Somerset and Bristol/Bath in the amber warning too which is very good.  Must be thinking along the lines of the Hirlam scenario then.

Surprised they haven't included areas further east along the South Coast as the EURO4 has been consistently remodelling decent accumulations here too and these are populated areas of the UK, ie Winchester, Brighton, Worthing, Havant etc.

I guess they are still waiting till later on these areas. Looks like they won't be affected during the rush hour anymore, too.

Tiny flakes but definitely snow blowing about from the tiniest blob on the radar

It's not much, but it's a start!

Encouraging to see this reported under what the radar shows as sleet. Earlier I hear there was even some rain on the radar that actually fell as snow near Southampton.

Do you remember April 2000? Hours of driving sleet down on the levels, the Mendips got pasted higher up. I moved to Wookey Hole village late April and the fields above still had snow patches in May...

I remember it well, I moved house that day, fun and games.

We're not experts, we're chancers.

You're not far from me and I'm pretty hopeful.

 

Edit : Scratch that @Singularity is here. He's an expert and lives closer to you, then me.

As my post clearly stated, it was what Ian F said last night...Please feel free to view his forecast.

As he also said, the forecast will homed in TODAY with regards to warnings (as per the Amber) and a more clearer picture. So basically its not what I think, its what Ian F said last and night the Meto text today. 

Try a bit of nowcasting..... this is our friendly regional thread. Not the oneupmanship thread...

Euro4 snow ppn chart just posted in the Hunt for Cold thread puts soton right in the sweet spot - amazing!

I need to get back from Worthing today - think I might leave sooner rather than later. Last time I tried to get somewhere before it got bad was horrendous (Dec 09?). And I dont have any appropriate clothing with me...

Temp in Southampton still just 1.6C and son reports snow flurry at the University about an hour ago.

Good luck, everyone!

Inland areas of the South Coast could be the place to be now.  pin up your ears if you live around Axminster, Salisbury, Romsey, Winchester, Fareham, Havant etc.

Both models now have the front barely making it north of the M4!

So hopeful we’ll get some decent snow in Swindon.

I have ASD with sensory issues and I’ve never experienced silence quite like when you go out early after a fresh heavy snowfall. All surfaces coated, no-one out, quiet roads and the snow seems to absorb all the other natural sounds in the environment. I’m constantly being overloaded with noise even down to the hum of electricity... I get so much peace from snow

I'm at work where there's a sunken terrace that really holds onto frost. Very tempted to put the sprinkler on slow, see if it's cold enough to freeze it into a decent ice rink

I like EURO4 better. Gives coastal areas a decent amount too.

Up to 1.8C here after a low of -5.3C, but that should be good for snow as long as it doesn't creep up much further

These precipitation amounts are just guides of course. How many times when it's just rain do we see precipitation amounts go mental even as the event is happening, or on the other hand not quite live up to expectations?

Being someone who likes to dream ... I note some predictions of intensity in the channel get over 8mm per hour. If that could hold together until landfall... well who knows how much snow might fall tonight close to the coast?

morning, copied from website

Between 14:00 Thu 31st and 21:00 Thu 31st

Heavy snow likely on Thursday afternoon and evening.

What to expect

Travel delays on roads are likely, stranding some vehicles and passengers

Some delays and cancellations to rail travel are likely

There is a good chance that some rural communities could become cut off

Power cuts are likely and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected

we are on the edge f the amber

Hi Singularity, yes it was unexpected as it was only the tinest patch which started off pink then changed to sleet at the penultimate frame before it disappeared. Lasted for around 15 minutes, just tiny flakes but definitely precip rather than blown from trees, and left a (very) light covering . I'm hope anything later will remain at least as wet snow around here.
