Snow watch!!!!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

well, it looks like winter finally might be arriving!

First indications for snow are for this coming saturday as a low pressure draws in cold air . The met office arent really going for it at the moment, but the potential is certainly there. At the moment I'd say the biggest risk is for the midlands and central England.

After that there seems to be a cold few days but then the models start to disagree. GFS shows a positive snow fest for the 24th! masses of snow, but its a long way off and until we get much closer who knows what really will happen.

Freezing cold, wet & windy currently here (Brighton outskirts). Am thinking if it does snow, it probably won't lay as the ground is so wet

Cold in west Lothian with clear blue skies and sunshine!

Grey, cold, wet, sleety on and off.
Not the nicest of days here (NE Hampshire)

Even though, I LOVE SNOW, It can be a big nuisance. Therefore, I would love it to snow for an evening then hopefully wash away within the next few days. I believe snow outstays its welcome after a week :)

Dont think so ruby its all talk about it coming. Some people are excited, some are worried, some are in the middle. Its coming though.

I don't think it's coming TBH.

It has snowed in North East Scotland, so my mum tells me... she's got snow in her garden. So yes, it has snowed. There have also been a few flakes in places... even when I was shopping earlier in Bracknell Berkshire.

Will be interesting to see how many places have snow overnight. If lots of places do, expect there will be lots of pictures on the various social networks.

I have just looked at BBC and Netweather. I am going with BBC, it's better and doesn't have as much snow. I am hoping for 'light flurries' only.

ForecastFox is now telling me "periods of snow & rain" for Monday; I think it gets its feed from AccuWeather though, and I find Netweather usually more accurate. The Met Office has been tweeting Yellow warnings of snow & ice for London & South-East this afternoon. I've been stuck in bed all day and noticed the odd stray flake floating down here in Walthamstow (E17), but nothing serious - definitely not settling.

Oh, a mate in Reading just told me via Twitter that it's snowing there & settling.

We have sleety stuff at the moment.
Got very very cold today,now waiting for my turn for the bath - just got in. A couple of hours standing around/sludging about in ankle deep mud and then the afternoon in a cold hall with sodden through socks after my boots didn't do their job. Brrrrrrrrr.

Will have a quick look at the models but when the bath becomes free I'm downing tools and wallowing!

Ooooh reading is not far from London!

Have opened curtains and am staring hopefully out- street just looks bloody cold ATM.

All looks very similar to what I typed this morning so I'm not going to retype it :)

Im waiting patiently for the white fluffy stuff - no sign yet in the Glasgow area

Fantasy: Tons of white sparkly snow falling straight down, no wind, heavy enough to go out tonight and have snowball fight in the street, which will be entirely blocked by 10pm.

Reality: Bit of grey slush near horizontal, icy wet pavements, grr

Twitter snow map is quite fun where people say where its snowing and it shows a map of the UK with white dots where it has been reported.

ooh have you got a link Meg or is it easily searchable? Im off to have a look.

uksnowmap.com I think

Rain, rain and more rain in Dorset .

Cold and dry here, Tameside.

Remember to prepare for ice tomorrow morning, especially away from the south coast.

latest met office warnings with the highlighted snow risk areas for each day to Tuesday.

I will cling to the word 'uncertainty' OYBBK. But will clean the car tomorrow, check the tyres oil and screenwash and put some petrol in, just in case.
