South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/01/2020 Onward

[CheesepuffScott]

Clear spells tonight but further showers approaching.. temperature rising too. It was 4.5°C an hour ago, now up to 5.2°C

[matt111]

Dropped to 5.4°C with the shower that's just gone through. 

[Mapantz]

According to the forecast, the wind is supposed to be gusting to 35mph. Currently, it's 6mph.

[Wilxy]

Down to 3.4°C with a dew point of 2.5°C I wonder whether this next line coming in will fall wintry over the hills?

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a cool start to the day as the temperatures hover around 2.0°C at: 06:04, with light rain.. Certainly some rain to come as showers approach from the west.. Wind moved into the NW direction around 01:20 this morning...

[Dorsetbred]

Just for fun... Next Weds Snow Risk shows how the Dorset snow shield is fixed firmly in place even after local recent high winds!

[Andy Bown]

Something of a frozen slushy deposit on the car roofs, that’s as exciting as it’s got.  Except for the fact we will surely get some sunshine today!

Good morning, it’s a cold start but at least it’s looking light a bright start to the day.

1.0°C after a low of 0.5°C at 05:56

Morning all, a dusting of snow here, now frozen solid with black ice on the roads. Looks pretty  lethal under foot!

[Josephineee]

So UK snow is trending on twitter, likelihood of it snowing in Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire?

The snow is mostly in the north and mostly over the hills. There could be some wintriness in those areas, especially over the Cotswolds/Chilterns etc. You can check a local forecast here:

We woke up to a tiny dusting of flakes first thing this morning - but it won't last.

Mother told me she was caught up in a few flurries on the way to work at 5:30 this morn

 Good morning all ,

 

 Had a couple of flakes of snow overnight here in Frome but not much .   However ,  when I took my son to school there was some cars turning up completely covered about a centimetre on them .  And they look like areas on the radar that received it wells Shelton mere directions.  It was literally only 5 to 7 miles away from us  on its leading edge . 

 

 Still nice to see just a few flakes deposited on the cars though. 

 

 There was some incredible iced leaf patterns on the car as well  which match the glazing of the front door near enough lol.

And I may have been imagining it but Cley Hill marginally whiter on top...

Bit of a mix out on Bedminster Down in Bristol. Rain, sleet, hail & graupel coming down in short showers. Quite an interesting mix.

Skies have gone a bit darker now so expecting something further shortly.

Had a shower of wet snow/Sleet but did not last long..Sun is out again now.  

[MP-R]

Sleety shower moving through at the moment. Looked very threatening on approach but quite light ppn overall.

[Wilxy]

Wintry shower here currently with some flakes falling and the temperature has dropped very quickly 2.9°C

[Dorsetbred]

Graupel shower just cruised through...in bright sunshine..

[Mapantz]

No showers here overnight. Hardly any wind either. Currently sunny spells and 8°C.

[Dorsetbred]

Very dark skies to the west of us in Bmth at the moment and the occasional spot of rain, this one is looking feisty...

[Wilxy]

Just heard thunder! gone very dark again as the shower comes over.

Not surprised. That one just passed me and was very squally. Heavy hail, a brief wet snow period and then lighter sleet. Temp down to 02.4C in its passing.

[Mapantz]

Spoke too soon here. Moderate rain/hail shower.

[Jasper Foxx]

Rather more hefty band of wintry showers coming through and I'm sure there was a rumble of thunder in there too. It's left a slight slush around that is quickly melting.
