Snow warnings - northern England and Scotland!!!

met office have now included parts of Yorkshire in their warnings. Could be tricky for some.

Its a difficult forecast as the further south you are, the more likely tonights precipitation is to be rain, but where that boundary between rain and snow will be is hard to predict, especially when you add high ground into the mix. So be prepared, watch the met office and what will be will be! Where the band is entirely snow there could be around 6 hours worth, giving rise to significant accumulation.

good idea pottering!! its hard to tell whether you will get rain after the snow or just snow (or none at all!). Partly depends on how close you are to the coast.

Snow shovels, salt and grit purchased! Wellies dusted off and thermals looked out! I think it's going to be a bad one here again!

Looks like it is going to miss us. Need to get prepared though, so thanks for the warning.

I used to live by the coast! The haar was unbelievable. A mile down the road at my mums it would be glorious and we couldn't see across the street!

But I miss the sea here!

Wee bit of snow last night, which stayed through the day - very crusty, but just good enough to go sledging down the road.. good fun

Yup right in middle of a yellow warning and NO SNOW Xmas Angry I want snow please, just until tomorrow then it can go away again.

Marbles, I'm sorry :(
Bit early to tell yet. At the moment the GFS model shows dry Friday but potentially snowy on Saturday. Keep prompting me about it.
Notwanking, give it a chance, the night is young!

I'm expecting to wake up to whiteness everywhere in the morning. The main concern for me though is that the snow will be falling on black ice - there is already ice on the roads and it will be treacherous with snow in top.
Take care when driving tomorrow folks, esp early tomorrow.
