Anyone preparing for a lot of snow tomorrow?

We're in Leicestershire and it looks like we're due quite a bit.

We are under the amber warning. DD’s senior school are letting us know at 7am if they are open or not, dd is already on her coach on the way by then of course 🙄

Quite quiet here too which is strange. Just seen Tresco on the news - hope everyone is safe in IOS.

I'm going to help the coastguards clear people away from the sea, we have loads of wave watchers so we need to get them away to safety.
Anyway hello VanillaSugar2023. I hope you are well.

Lots of rain currently in my part of Derbyshire. Snow forecast for tomorrow morning, but it keeps getting later every time I look at the weather, so it’s anyone’s guess if we’ll get any.

JurgenKloppsTeeth · 08/01/2026 18:32

Look after yourself @Port1aCastis I am of the mind that if they deliberately put themselves and others at risk by going to the coast in these conditions then that’s their lookout. You’re a better person than me.

Thank you.
Right I'm off to shout at those who are dimwitted

BobblyBobbleHat · 08/01/2026 18:37

We're sw, but towards the top. I think we are just going to end up with rain and more rain. I'd love there to be a bit of snow though.

NeartoNewquay · 08/01/2026 18:38

Blimey @Port1aCastis - what sort of idiots are out in this through choice. Makes me quite cross on your behalf and all those in emergency services.

Stay safe x

Iceshine · 08/01/2026 18:39

Im prepared for nothing as usual.

But I do love storms.

Astonishing that they are there after the tragedy in East Yorkshire recently.

Yup, we’re all well.

Pickingupabitnow · 08/01/2026 18:43

We're near Newquay in Cornwall as well and the wind was non existent up to about 15 minutes ago but seems to be picking up a bit now 😬 hoping I've not forgotten to bring anything in/tie down!!

CatWithThreeLegs · 08/01/2026 18:44

We're on high flood alert here (Dorset coast), the winds are getting strong, rain lashing down.

helplessbanana · 08/01/2026 18:44

Pouring down with rain and no wind at all here in Bedfordshire.

@Port1aCastis Go read them the riot act. Why are some people so recklessly stupid, not only with their own lives, but those of all the emergency services too. How are they even going to be able to launch lifeboats in this?

Pollqueen · 08/01/2026 18:46

East Midlands and all quiet. No rain, wind or snow here so far

annonymousse · 08/01/2026 18:48

Also East Midlands and it's just started sleeting

AreYouSureAskedNaomi · 08/01/2026 18:51

In the yellow warning area of Wales. Heavy rain and 3 degrees, expecting nothing but rain as we are close to the sea.

JurgenKloppsTeeth · 08/01/2026 19:03

Gone from calm to absolutely crazy in the last hour. Feels like my windows are going to burst!

MadisonAvenue · 08/01/2026 19:04

I’m in East Staffs, near the borders of Leicestershire and Derbyshire and both the Met Office and BBC forecasts are showing sleet tonight with rain in the morning. It’s raining at the moment.
