Thats not fair LeDodgy - theres such a good clump just south of you. Never mind you still have a good chance for some decent snow showers.

Just going to catch up with latest happenings....

colditz · 16/12/2010 16:03

Leicestershire and we had a right good flurry!

winterpetunia · 16/12/2010 16:10

Colditz ~ don't know whereabouts you are but here at the M1/M69 junction area, we've been having more like blizzard conditions for 3/4 hour! It's eased off a bit now though.

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 16:14

leDodgy - sorry for the bum steer today, I have no idea how liverpool seems to be missing the snow showers. The main band seems to have gone past.Tomorrow evening looks hopeful for you....

Lots of snow showers in northern scotland I see.

updated warnings which still seem to say that there is a signficant snow risk on Saturday and GFS is back on for snow again Hmm It moves in from the west so those in the east ought to make the most of the day before it gets to you! You may have a clear morning. (note my caution!!!!)

moid · 16/12/2010 16:17

It's gone very dark overhead in Guildford.

moonmother · 16/12/2010 16:17

3pm rain 3.05 pm sleet 3.10 snow lol

Had snow for about an hour, seems to have eased off n for now, grass and cars have a covering.

I'm really hating the thought of it freezing out there, it will be treacherous.

Pressure 1001 and steady

Temp2.8 degrees and falling

winterpetunia · 16/12/2010 16:18

OYSSK ~ the 1.30pm weather forecast seemed to indicate Snowmageddon was still on for Saturday and that it would be coming from the west. Looks like the Midlands could get a right dumping!

ledodgy · 16/12/2010 16:56

OYBK you don't need to apologise.It's not your fault. Grin

moid · 16/12/2010 16:59

Weird sleety snow in guildford which is settling.

mychatnickname · 16/12/2010 17:01

By the way if anyone hasn't seen it there's a good map on iGoogle - if you go to the weather page and click on your area you get the current temperature all across the region on different weather stations.

ProfYaffle · 16/12/2010 17:04

Thanks for the iGoogle tip, I now know that the moon is waxing gibbous.

ProfYaffle · 16/12/2010 17:04

And tomorrow will be 34 seconds shorter than today.

ledodgy · 16/12/2010 17:11

My tomorrow is 35 seconds shorter which means we are one second closer to Christmas than you.

itsTwiiiiitmaaaaasss · 16/12/2010 17:12

ok, so the temp has dropped to 1.1, windchill is -3.6 and the wind is from the west. It has rained with a touch of sleet on and off, with blue sky peeping through. The barometer is 1017 and rising.

Herefordshire btw

ledodgy · 16/12/2010 17:13

it's -0.2 here atm.

goingroundthebend4 · 16/12/2010 17:17

rosieposey · 16/12/2010 17:20

Ok left to pick up DD's from art club at school and it was raining and 3 when i left by the time i got to their school it was sleeting and on the way home it started snowing and dropped to 0 degrees - lovely big fat snowflakes which are finding it hard to settle as it has been raining.

Its now light snow but hey at least its snowing in Swindon Grin hope we get some more!

Earthymama · 16/12/2010 17:29

Nooooooo!! Not til next week, please!

I have Solstice Wreathmaking party planned for Sunday and travelling to Somerset by public transport early next week.

Please Snow Goddesses, wait til I'm there!!

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 16/12/2010 17:30

My day tomorrow will be 43 seconds longer! so nerr!

Thanks for the igoogle info, its fascinating :)

mychatnickname · 16/12/2010 17:31

OK this is not sounding very reliable about the day length....

am67 · 16/12/2010 17:39

Its started snowing here, we're on the East Surrey/Kent border. Bee raining most of the afternoon - so hopefully won't stick.

I hate the snow after the last lot we got.

TheNextMrsClaus · 16/12/2010 17:42

Snowing now in Surrey. And settling. Nooooo... it's my office Christmas Do tonight.

SantaClausImWorthIt · 16/12/2010 17:50

Have just got back in - sleet and snow, and temperature just +1. But very wet and nowhere near settling.

ledodgy · 16/12/2010 17:53

-0.9 here now. Grin

OhYouSnowySnowyKitten · 16/12/2010 18:00

We have just had a good spell of wet heavy snow - settling on the car. Temp 1.8C. The road and all surfaces are really wet. When this freezes (as it will do soon) it is going to be really nasty.

Really appreciate all the reports :)

Petunia - that coincides roughly with what the 12z GFS said. What on earth was the 06Z model on??
