SOUTH WEST PEEPS

[philamena]

Sorry to ask, but I could do to know where there's snow settling tonight in Somerset, Dorset, Wilts and Gloucs areas... ? Any help gratefully received! xx

 

[bigboyrocky]

its only snowed lightly here (somerset) but none has settled and it looks like the rest of its thawing slightley aswell..

so excited!!!

haha

 

[philamena]

Thank you! Things were looking pretty hairy on the Mendips and Blackdowns earlier, but nothing's really due to settle on low ground I don't think, just the hills... x

 

[Weezy]

Oh poo, I thought we were going to get some nice, stay at home again, snow

 

[RuthnMeg]

snowing here, settling a bit, but iam quite high... don't panic its nothing major - YET

 

[philamena]

Thanks - I'm trying to get a handle on potential school closures tomorrow, and to work out whether to make one of my poor colleagues stay up all night working on the radio because of potential probs on the roads!

 

[HoHum]

near Westbury Wilts, been snowing since around 6pm, was light, but now heavier and lying.

 

[Donkeymad]

Exeter and around is badly affected with heavy snow. Holden hill has been closed since about 6pm.

 

[china]

snowing heavily weston super mare and setling, started lightly around 5 pm

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

Apparently there is blizzard type conditions on the Blackdowns... My OH drove up there earlier. Dunno if it is settling though. Fingers crossed no or I am going to be struggling to get to pony tomorrow.

 

[philamena]

This is really useful, thank you! x

 

[lizzib]

we are right up the top on the mendips ..........and already have two inches of snow... on top of the 6 inches that is already here from last time. It is still snowing heavily outside.

HTH

 

[philamena]

It helps, thanks lizzib x

I'm Mendips too - have had about and inch/maybe two since about 6pm. Due to have it MUCH heavier overnight. I highly doubt my tiddlers will be going to school tomorrow!

 

[lizzib]

Ha ha I slipped over letting a car go by as I tried to pick my LO up from nursery yesterday.......... virtually impaled myself on a "slow down" sign that broke my fall. ..... the irony of it as I was stood still at the time lol

seems like the huskies are the only ones appreciating the snow!

 

[sallyellis]

I am in Bristol it had started to thaw today but then started to snow about 5pm and hasnt stopped since I am NOT impressed.

 

[philamena]

It's depressing, isn't it. Still, we're supposed to get thawing temperatures on Fri and Sat here in the SW, but apparently quite a gentle change which should mean not too much flooding / standing water...?

 

[miss_c]

I'm Bristol too and it's still snowing...

 

[dressedkez]

Blackdown's had a bit tonight , but at the Eastern end not much - but I have loved the last few days as our minor roads with a covering of about 4 inches have been a fantastic all-weather gallop - My horse did a steady canter up a mile long hill 2 days ago - free, it would normally cost me a rider and gallop fee to do similar on local racehorss owners gallop!

 

[Donkeymad]

Depends which part of the SW you are in. It's been raining heavily here for hours.

 

[LankyDoodle]

Heavy snow here for the past 2-3 hours and it's settled straight away.

[philamena]

I've just realised from your reply that it's only Wednesday... Bummer. Thought it was nearly the weekend.
