I guess its that time of year when snow forecasts are welcome....

Massive warning at the start of this thread. I'm not a qualified meteorologist, just a very keen amateur. I do frequently get things wrong and sometimes I miss things when life gets very busy (which it is rather atm) But, I'll do my best to give people a heads up to snow forecasts as we get them, as long as you all promise not to sue/hate me when it all goes horribly wrong.

So first area to highlight is the western side of Scotland including the highlands and part of central Scotland. Met office have warnings Sunday/into Monday

Also very worth being aware that towards the end of this week, hilly parts of northern England including the Pennines (and perhaps welsh hills too?) may well get some snow by the end of the working week.

The pavements here were awful this morning - compacted snow and ice with rain falling on it. The school run was a nightmare.

Thankfully it all melted by home time.

Slippery pavements again this morning but had a pleasant as we parked up outside the school, a council workman appeared and started spreading grit along the pavement! Bit of a surprise that one and possibly by the sound of it, that one pavement is the only gritted one in the country!

For example - it makes me so cross. I don't think it wa always this way, was it?

Morning all - back again :) no snow in the forecast I see!
