Weather warnings part 2 - will they fade away, or is bad weather set to remain?

new thread. other one full.

I want snow . More rain for us on Sunday, have had enough of the wet stuff, I want frozen stuff now.

It'll be weird if there is a a sort of 'snowmageddon' next weekend because it was about the 18th January last year, that it turned cold and we had a similar snowmageddon situation, with schools closing early/nightmare situation on the roads. I remember it as it's DD2's birthday on the 20th and we went sledging on her birthday. She's now hoping for snow again this year!

Slight frost on the car this morning ~ down to 1.7C overnight.

No- no snowmageddon.

Not even just a little one, Sparkling? Just overnight on a Saturday so we can at least say we've had a bit of snow this winter.

Acceptable snow scenarios for Sparkling Gloria-

6 foot deep, falling overnight.
Anything less must fall after 4.30pm on a Friday and be gone by 7.50am on the Monday.

We'll make it so and book it in the diary along with acceptable times of the day when snow is allowed to fall.

Excellent Gloria. I have pre-ordered my weather.

We can do snowmageddon next weekend. DD has a party in the afternoon but it's walkable.

That suits me Meglet-after Friday around 11pm after the panto though?

its had a few showers in salisbury today.

I am hoping I can get my car out of the lane tomorrow morning!

I want weekend snow. I am a teacher, weekday snow is too complicated as my school does not close.

OYBBK how far south is the cold (snow?!) likely to spread? I'm getting my hopes up but I bet it misses Hampshire.

It did occur to to me though that snow on saturated ground is going to cause more flood when it melts, isn't it?

Its def a case of dont count chickens and all that. Looking less like snow now I'm afraid.

Nooooo.

sorry.

Really havent been able to understand all of the medias enthusiasm for forecasting snow for next week. The possibility is there but it certainly hasnt been a certainty by any means. Even the more respectable outlets have been talking like its a certainty.

Overheard a old man talking in my local shop and he seems to think we are getting rain for most of next week and then it will freeze next weekend and snow. Not sure where he got this info from?

I'm trying not to get my hopes up for snow, chances are we will get more rain.

I am SO confused, our local paper is reporting a hard frost over night and lots of ice on the road. The Met office says there is a yellow warning of ice but also that the lowest temp will be 6 degrees!

I am so confused!

well, very icy here early morning. Walked out of the house to the taxi and went flying onto the ground. It's thankfully a bit warmer at the airport, so hopefully runway is clear.

No frost here (Leicester) 3.6C at the moment ~ looks like it's going to be a nice day.

Clear skies atm but +5. Assume it clouded over in the night otherwise we'd have had much lower temps and a frost. It is what I wished for, though

Clear skies here in Jersey. But nothing like snow or ice or even very cold

No frost overnight here in Greater Manchester, we had a heavy sleet shower about 8.30, and it tried very hard to snow. It's raining and grey here now. DD is relieved because it is too wet to take her out on her bycicle(part of her physio regime) and she hates it.

SE.
It had rained in the night, but all day so far has been blue sky and sunny

SE
Oh dear, only +1.8 out and had to put the heating up. Hope it clouds over and warms up in the night

Brrr I'm going out tonight. I never go out. I'm going to freeze!
