Boxing Day snow thread

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

From storm thread which talked about the complexities of tomorrow's weather:

"Merry Christmas will be really interesting to seem where gets snow tomorrow. Hilly parts of Wales, some of northern England, the midlands perhaps at times and I still think the chilterns. It depends on how heavy the precipitation is, the air it falls through and obviously the temperature. I expect some people will have rather a surprise."

And With regards to discussion about NI: "it's going to sound like a cop out but I just don't know 850hpa temps look borderline as does air temp but if the rain is heavy and falls through dry air as it evaporates it can cool the air down allowing snow to fall. ( evaporative cooling)
Often snow in the UK hangs on a knife edge with a temp swing of one or two degrees making all the difference. It makes it very difficult for councils. Put grit down too early and it gets washed away then it turns to snow and everyone blames the councils for the ensuing chaos."

I don't think things have changed since my thoughts earlier today.

I am a bit North of you, Night
I'm still unimpressed by the lack of snow from last year, we need some this year! It is normally us who has it when the rest of the country doesn't!

In Derbyshire at the moment, and it's causing chaos here!

Any chance of snow near Edinburgh? We're quite high up, if that helps (above 200m).

Heavy sleet here. Very wet and cold. Car windscreens have a build up of slush on them, but everywhere else is just wet!

Okay now the snow is settling in South Yorkshire! Be careful out there.

Raining steadily here in Suffolk.

Snowing quite a bit in Lincolnshire

Tooextra, perhaps a little in the morning.

Emily, that may well change.

manky - just up the road from you, it's proper snow and sticking!

No snow in Edinburgh, but back in the warning zone

Just driven home from Fife and apart from the near freezing temp there's a lot of fog about.

Badvoc

And everyone else with their big fat snowflakes. Suffolk is rainy.

DeePancrisPandevenistaken Still raining here! DSIL is not looking forward to driving back to Glossop though - it's sticking there!

Heavy snow and settling on M6 around Stafford...

Not even rain in essex. Boo

Still snowing here.

DS2 is sulking, he was meant to be going on his first night out to the pub/club with DS1 and his mates. He was 18 on Christmas Eve.

Woo hoo, the snow gods have not let me down, now snowing in the Lincolnshire Wolds

It's quite heavy here now in lincs, I am bloody excited! Hope it lays hope it lays hope it lays!!@

Can't see it settling here if it does snow, the rain is torrential!

yep manky - just above Glossop and it's sticking like a sticky thing!

Snow has turned to rain in the Corby area. DP has to drive the loooong drive from here to Ayrshire (west coast Scotland) tomorrow and back down on Sunday to fetch his DCs from their mum. Hope the roads improve further north by then!

I must be in some sort of micro-climate patch of Lincolnshire where its drizzling with rain and doesn't actually that cold even.

Snow ploughs out here (Derbyshire Dales). Very difficult journey home, 3 hours to get not very far at all and lots of abandoned cars.
