snow for some this week (not an early April fools joke)

[ohyouBadBadkitten]

I've held off a little on this, though I've mentioned the possibility on the 'weather warning for gardeners thread'.

this week shows an astonishingly rapid turn around in weather, particularly for those in Scotland who have been having record warmth. Snow looks quite likely to be coming to the northern half of the uk, more so I think down the Eastern side. It looks likely to start Monday night, progressing further south into the Pennine region into Tuesday, where some significant accumulation could occur. Of course hilly areas are more susceptible, but it is rather possible there will be snow cover down to low levels.

Further south, sleet or cold rain is more likely.

GFS shows highs of 0C in northern Scotland on tuesday!!!

Updates in the run up :)

Thought I spotted on the local lunchtime weather that we're going to have a 'high' of 1C on Saturday as well as sleety showers. Things don't seem to be warming up as we go through the month!

Such bizarre weather. DH looked at me like I was crazy when I told him about the snow - it is all gone now and rain couldn't be coming down harder! Took pictures though he was like this ->

Gloria - don't worry, that's your predicted night time temp.

LoTs of sunshine and showers this week.

Was that a night time temp? I was only half-watching Really shouldn't be in the 'weather department' if I'm not going to pay attention!

Tis the Easter hols.

Ah that's my excuse could explain it ~ my brain's switched off a bit! I'm glad though that the weather's moved more towards 'proper' April weather i.e. sunshine and showers.

Weather warning for snow tomorrow, for some central bits of Scotland.
