The streamer band is literally over the M3, maybe even the width of the motorway. 

There will be neighbourhoods of the same village that get more snow than others, it is that localised.

We’ll see I’m not ruling out anything 

Correct me if I’m wrong (I’ve tried looking for your post to quote) but didn’t you throw in the towel yesterday and declare you’d be back next winter?

There's a definite streamer setting up just north of the A303 at the moment.

I think it may sink southwards through the early hours but may well give anyone under it a decent dusting, especially if it is slow moving.

 

Snow easing off now and like you say looks to perhaps be sinking south.  Have a cm or so.

Nah the party is still going for me. Feel a lot better now it's not just the ICON suggesting decent snow on Saturday. Hoping to hear a more detailed forecast from the MetO tomorrow for the weekend. 

Your in for a heartache! I'll have the Valium on stand by ...

Aptly named by Chiono I saw the other day, my ‘snow body clock’ has woken me up for a radar peek and curtain twitch and lo and behold we have a dusting

Looks like we’re under the streamer so here’s hoping it continues for a while eh! Think Icon was the only model I saw to show a streamer getting close to me so well done that model.

Snow just missed me to the north, somebody either side of the A338 must’ve had a few flakes. -2.0°C

Decent ‘thick dusting’ overnight, radar suggests between Warminster-Salisbury might have had a bit more.

Some cretin has already made tyre tracks though!

Some shower activity across Exeter moving onto dartmoor at the moment. Signal for a spell of heavier snow for the moor early tomorrow for an hour or so.

Good morning nice to see some of you got a bit of a dusting. Light sizzle just started here. 

No it's not sizzling, bloody prescriptive text, must learn to read before posting

Morning all. Glad to see we had a bit more of a dusting last night across some parts of the region.

Today it looks less likely but I'm still keeping an eye on a convergence line sinking south from the Wash during the day along which some snow may pop up, mainly in eastern areas.

That same convergence line then becomes the disturbance which moves back north tomorrow giving some in the SW regions a possible spell of snow.

Quick look at the models and my view has not changed really since last night. Possible snow events Fri-Sun on both the Icon (still) and the GFS, and I'm still not completely convinced the mild air will push over anything but the more western parts of our region. Meto outlook continues to be along the same lines so they must be seeing something we don't have access to.

The fax charts are a good guide to their insight and the new ones for Fri and Sat are quite intriguing with a front draped somewhere across us every day (although with the wind direction from the drier SE/SSE in front of them there may not be too much moisture on them it has to be said):

The fronts are just inching their way across so will be interesting to see the updated ones for Sunday when they come out.

Morning All, after an overnight low of -2.2°C at: 02:01, currently -0.4°C, with a light breeze in from the East / NE, windchill is certainly noticeable again today, and overcast, as the beachcam shows this morning...lots of cloud with nowt to fall out of them...

The interesting thing to note on the last slide of the Fax chart you posted for Saturday 12hrs is the warm sector of that weather system is kept to the south of us so could see some snow across the region. The one behind it however looks like the one that will usher in something milder unless it to slides further south BUT Sunday is still along way off to be talking any detail.

Oh hail the mighty ICON.  This morning's 0z ICON stands firm with its previous output regarding Saturday, with a band of snow for most of the region for a good part of the day.  I won't post every chart, to save cluttering the thread, but here is a snapshot of every 3 hours or so;

iconeu_uk1-42-81-0.thumb.png.d98014f0ae20e9f3b3048b86306dc980.png

iconeu_uk1-42-84-0.thumb.png.ab61c9abb7afe7556e4b16f1a71d4a29.png

iconeu_uk1-42-87-0.thumb.png.a7f4906923f07ec1a28d2130cd5b4310.png

It's consistent, I'll give it that, but unfortunetly still remains rather much on its own, especially with regards to intensity.

Bless the ICON for wanting to give us a snowy Saturday and as you say it’s stood firm in its consistency.

The 0z UKV, whilst similar in the positioning and timing of the frontal wave on Saturday, is far more fragmented.  It does still bring some snow to northern and eastern parts of the region, here again is a quick snapshot;

viewimage.thumb.png.6dec44e49dc86b3391b20019e4856bd4.png

968768226_viewimage(1).thumb.png.02d45020f94b5cb38c982fb94417305e.png

I wouldn't take location or intensity too specific though, unlike the ICON, this model has changed a lot more regarding PPN on Saturday, and will no doubt change in detail again this evening.  Just use it as a general trend of a frontal system slowly coming in from the W/SW on Saturday, possibly giving northern and eastern parts of the region some snow.  Don't look into further detail than that for now, IMO.

Just one observation from the latest UKV extended though, it is much slower than its predecessor, the 15z run of yesterday, in bringing in less cold air for the northern and eastern parts of the region.  Here are the 2m temps yesterday's 15z was showing for Sunday afternoon;

2083177744_viewimage(5).thumb.png.cf9d0e533665225452687efb3491cb3b.png

And now here are the temps this mornings 03z run is showing for Sunday afternoon, along with wind-chill etc;

460814813_viewimage(2).thumb.png.c72f31cde87243d2287bec2af5d595d6.png

468141150_viewimage(4).thumb.png.e3024948e2fee3c13b75543896cf0760.png

As you can see, it's a much slower evolution this morning, which may explain the fragmentation of Saturdays front more.  Whilst it does still become less cold for all of us eventually, it is slower.  Any further slow downs over the coming days and we maybe looking at some more snow (for northern and eastern areas of the region) from the band of PPN arriving later on Sunday.

However, that's getting widely speculative now.  My confidence for a notable snowfall on Saturday, IMBY, still remains critically, stupidly low unfortunately.

Latest EC Ens for Bristol continue to show a clear and unanimous warm up from Sunday onwards, no getting away from that.

However, one little observation I have noticed is from these;

IMG_20210210_082934.thumb.jpg.9400cb137b2676566174946f29367d1f.jpg

is the signal for PPN has markedly increased on Saturday (red circle). 

This, along side 2m temps likely remaining sub 3c (black circle) does provide the option for a higher chance of some snowfall for at least, this part of the region, not that it would last particularly long though looking at the clear trend in 2m temps over the weekend.

Looking at the radar it looks like that lot in the East is heading my way.. Hope it's a full covering, although I'm just happy to see it falling!!

FWIW, latest EC Det is similiar to the overnight UKV extended, in that it brings a band of fragmented and mainly light snow over the region during Saturday.
