From the local rag..

Don't think I'll both goin' lookin'

Dorset Snow has published a map of which areas in Dorset could see the most snow.

Beaminster, Sherborne and Lyme Regis could see “regular snow showers” with 1cm “possible.”

Bridport, Dorchester, Shaftesbury, Wareham, Bournemouth, Poole, Sturminster and Blandford could see “scattered snow showers” with a “dusting possible.”

Snow and ice warning issued - essential tips for driving in winter conditions

While Weymouth, Portland and Swanage are set to see “regular wintry showers.”

Oh yeah. Stood out in the rain now.

Edit : to be fair, there were a few flakes blowing around in the wind.

Have any other counties been published for this as it's quite useful.

I'm not sure, this is from the local rag, so it's a local person providing the info. I suspect a fair degree of it comes from well know sources...I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable folks on this thread could fill in the gaps around the area..

Never mind, thank you anyway.

If I may ask a question ? Do you think we could expect snowfall (dusting) in West Cornwall / St Austell?

There will definitely be showers about but according to the forecasts they will be on high ground - but you could get lucky... 

All I've had today is a graupel shower for 2 minutes at about 5pm and some heavy rain with occasional sleety bits for about 10 minutes at 2pm. 

[ThundersnowDays]

Had a rain/hail shower earlier which turned to wet snow for a couple of minutes but nothing settled.

[Thundery wintry showers]

There was some sleet mixed with the heavy rain in Exeter at 1-2pm, and there have been some rain, hail and graupel showers since then.

[Mapantz]

Just had a tiny (0.2mm) rain shower. The UKV shows the showers dying out after 1 - 2am. The BBC weather app should be banned from all app stores.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Where are all the showers they were on about lol.

The Metoffice has a light snow shower for me at 2am!  Unsurprisingly in line with the UKV.

Still got the smell of cattle ranches in your nostrils...?

Haha, certainly the smell of BBQ! I enjoyed the five minutes of relative warmth between business and leaving...

[Somerset Squall]

Just had a snow shower pass through, nothing desperately heavy but nice to see. Possibly more incoming from the NW. Temperature hovering around 2°C, dew point 0°C.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Mostly rain and hail showers in Exeter but I keep detecting sleet in the heavier bursts, with half-melted snowflakes blowing against the northwest-facing windows.  Exeter Airport has been reading around 3C with dewpoint around 0C.

[Mapantz]

Rain transitioned in to snow here.

50p sized flakes now!

Was hoping that over Dorset would reach here but I'm just a few miles to the east of it. Nothing at all here really.

Just caught the very edge of it as it was passing so I can finally say I’ve seen snow this winter. 

[knocker]

A lot quieter down here this morning

[Dorsetbred]

Snow on the cars and roofs this morning, from overnight shower..

[Frosty_wsm]

Sod all here overnight, showers passing to the north & south of me & any showers heading this way just died a death across the channel in south wales.
