Good job the roads were dry with frost , the band of snow looks very narrow
Not sure I'd want to be on the M4 right now! Pictures from J11 to J13...
Just been out to take some photos in Wiltshire, our roads were like that as well, 5cm snow and -1c.
Some of the hills were interesting drive, but sensibly we have winter tyres on one car so could drive up hills on the snow covered roads no problem. Actually they are better than summer tyres in the wet below +10c so well worth the investment
Flakes are quite fine here but loads of them. Hard to see down to the end of the street.
Watching falling snow is one of my favourite things in the world.
Looking at the radar we were right under one of the heaviest bits. Almost at the back edge already though, that’s only about half an hour? It needs to start pivoting if the forecast of more prolonged snow is to come off. Settled readily on all surfaces but only 1-2cm so far.
Hope it keeps falling - Dartmoor has done well so far - a good covering there too:
All the showers here now are falling as hail as the slightly cooler air circulates around the system.
Now the heavy sleet/ wet snow as well as freezing rain has left us there is a sheet of ice and actually the temperature has fallen back to 0.5c from a high of 1.6c early hours after a low of -2.1c last night. The little slush on cars has now frozen to ice.
Sounds like my experience last night! Seems to be a good few showers on their way to you so hopefully those might deliver for you.
I've been out and done some measuring and on the grass it's 2.3/4 inches and 2.1/2 on other surfaces so not quite the three inches, but then may have been earlier as now it's started the inevitable drip, drip.
The briefest of transient snowfalls here in Witney but has deposited about an inch and a half
That's a tautology.
Glad you got a decent amount of snow there!
That's a tautology.Glad you got a decent amount of snow there!
However, the wait for a long standing cold and snowy spell goes on for me personally, given that I was in Australia for December 2010 and the Beast from the East in 2018.
The lightest of snow falling on a frost.Looks like polystyrene balls floating about.Has made everything go more white, but you can measure the distance between each snow flake on the floor... so aint much yet

Its like desicated coconut
