Help! What are the real chance of snow on Thursday

[TheUnmentioned]

in central scotland, fife and perthshire?

I have to get to a very important appointment and will have a new baby and preschooler in the car.

:) thank you by the way, that is the plan, I love this and it would be nice to do this for a real job and then rl wouldnt intefere.

Good luck Howto :) is it pretty?

Well, we still have unmelted snow let from last time that has gone dingy, so not really I was hoping for some thundersnow again, I really enjoyed that.

OYSSK ~ what do you mean 'the front could get quite lively as it moves through the midlands?'

It's quite windy here (Leicester) at the moment; which is something I wasn't expecting.

Right. I'm off to buy the Christmas tree and stock up on essentials like wine bread and milk as well as finish my Christmas shopping this morning!

Thank you for all the warnings, news and updates, OYBBK!

OOh thankyou. It is very very windy as well...

We have had snow through the night and the wind is very wild. The sky is really dark in a way that tells you it is going to dump tons of snow all at once.

I went out in my nightie, first thing this morning, to get coffee from the car and all I am going to say it was not the best idea.

Gentleotter where are you?

ROFL Gentle Otter have you got frost bitten bits?

In Highland Perthshire, patience.

Snowy, blizzardy, freezing Highland Perthshire.

poor you gentle otter - just wanted to know how far down it had got... I've got a 3 hour journey later but from south coast towards welsh borders so I'm hoping its moving slowly - bbc forecast just watched seems to say I'll get wet rather than snowed on....

This is a fantastic thread.

I'm in the West Falkirk area.

Last night was very mild around 6 deg and we woke to heavy rain. We have just had a shower of icy snow/hail and the temp has dropped to just above zero.

Down in east herts it is raining rather heavy now.No wind to speak of and fairly mild temptures.No frost either , since I'm only 5 miles from Stansted airport is good new for anyone flying in to there

Gentleotter - brrrrr....

The cold front is as many people are noticing preluded by lots of rain. It does seem that it may stay that way, right until the back edge of the front where it is sleet/snow. This may change though as it reaches southern counties.

the real risk is for the sheet ice that will occur later.

Radar shows lots of snow showers for the northern half of Scotland, this will also be the case later and tonight for the west.

lively=squally, very windy, sleety, not so sure about graupel now as the rain is mostly on the warm side of the cold front. Perhaps some thunder.

Congratulations TheUnmentioned on your popular thread.
Herefordshire;
very dark, I actually wondered if I had got up an hour early to be honest.

wind (average 3.2) but is a 'warm' wind and at about 9 am it started to spit and is now lightly drizzling. Does 171 S mean anything to you?
Temp is 5.1
windchill is 4.1. 'Tis balmy
barometer is 1037.0 falling rapidly.

Thanks to this thread I am now slighlty obssessed. And I have forgotten how to spell obssessed/obsessed gah!

171 s? sounds like wind direction except there aren't any SWS winds.

ooo, Thomas Schafenaker just saying upgrading flash warnings to include snow for some.

updated warnings to include drifing snow for NI and parts of Scotland.

Right, 30 mins house work then back :)

OMg the wind and the rain is terrible here now. I'm so glad i am inside!

yes, I thought that too, it says wind bearing, so I guess it is South. Like I said it felt pretty warm (comparatively speaking)
Who and where is Thomas Schafenaker?

This is SO exciting. Absolutely love this thread!

Keep those local updates coming.

Hertfordshire here - gloomy skies. Not that cold. 5degrees c on the school run.

We've just had a nicely heavy sleet and snow shower here in Leeds that finished about 5 minutes ago

Is there more of the same for Leeds today or is it pretty clear kitten?

Still raining here, its a bit miserable!

Im in coastal Angus. We have had a tiny dusting of snow, which has melted now. Clear blue skies with a biting cold wind/
