South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/09/2020 Onward

Just had a look at the radar, it seems like it's quite a narrow band skirting across this area. The METO have us down as having something (either sleet/snow) until well into the evening but that looks impossible from the radar. Anyone know if there's more to follow behind this current band? There's much more ooop north at the mo, is that supposed to work its way down here?

[Jace]

Turned a bit wintry here in Stoke Lodge/Patchway.

Sunny this morning but clouding over now. 5.1°C 

[John88B]

Sleet has turned to snow here in Yate. 

Edit-- and back to sleet! 

Edit- and back to snow!!

Snowing nicely in Kingswood, Bristol but not sticking.

[kumquat]

Sleety

[Leon1]

Heavy snow in Marksbury near Bath but not sticking.

[Wilxy]

Flakes of snow here now after mostly rain at the start still mainly sleety though.

[kumquat]

Turning to snow on the back edge. Colder air behind, I guess.

[kumquat]

And back to sleet 

[MidnightSnow]

Yup, moderate snow now.

Truly marginal stuff, even though I am half a mile NORTH of the M4 

[Wilxy]

Very wet snow but nice to see! 2.2°C DP 1.3°C

[John88B]

Snowing steadily in Yate now, everything going a tinge of white. Hopefully more to come after dark. 

Edit. Massive flakes now!

Seems to be intensifying a little as it comes though. Alternating sleet/snow.

[MP-R]

Brightening up again now. The temp will of course fall again now lol.

Yeah quite surprised to see any tinge of white, just seemed too wet. A heavy shower would give us a slight covering I think.

The size of the flakes now  Nice surprise this!

[Bristawl Si]

Sleet. BS34

[Leon1]

Not in Bath atm but now just raining where I am

Is it settling in the Bristol area?

[ARTDEMOLE]

Large flakes falling in PSJ.

[Ben Sainsbury]

Mostly rain where I am, gone very light now though.

[MidnightSnow]

Crazy how marginal this is when parts of Bristol are still seeing rain & sleet. Taking north of the M4 to extreme levels.

[bellanite]

Bit lighter now but still snowing, settling too

Nice little bonus as wasn't expecting anything.
