Following on from the Boxing Day snow thread we have weather warnings from the met office for snow down part of the east coast and widespread ice. Around Northampton could also see some snow today. Take care over night and into tomorrow morning.

The theme of rather cold carries on through this week, especially away from western coasts. Some central areas could struggle to get above 0C even in the day time. Some sharp frosts. The next few days look dry and cold, with perhaps some freezing fog, especially over any snow fields. At the moment it looks like things might become milder through Thursday with rain moving in. GFS disagrees with this though and keeps things cold.

GFS then keeps teasing with a possibly dramatic return to school snow wise for some. Its a long way ahead but as ever I will keep you updated. However i may not be always able to answer specific questions due to real life so if you need to know urgently please check out the met office

It's been snowing for about an hour in Greater Manchester. Heavy for a time but very light now. We finally have a covering though!

We have a couple of centimetres here in Notts from last night and have just had a brief 20 minute flurry.

I think I've had enough snow now TBH

Idontseeanysontarans · 29/01/2015 09:20

Well it's bloody Armageddon here! Just out of Rochdale in the foot of the Pennines, around 3 inches of snow and our entire village is gridlocked due to accidents and abandoned cars. 2 schools already shut. The A58 out of Rochdale hasn't really moved in the last hour...

SewingAndCakes · 29/01/2015 09:49

Around 2-3 cm of snow in rossendale (less than last week) but it's caused chaos on the roads as they don't appear to have been gritted (wrong type of snow?)... School is closed as parents/teachers can't get up the road and there are multiple accidents and 2 hour long tailbacks. Really can't understand why it's caused problems today!

Leicester here ~ We had a brief snow flurry about 7.50am that provided a very slight covering but that's been it so far. We've got sunny spells and it's 3.4C so think it's possibly too warm for anything wintry at the moment.

Asifbymagic · 29/01/2015 11:07

Please send a flake or two to Berkshire.

BiscuitsAreMyDownfall · 29/01/2015 11:12

Please tell me that's it for snow for now. That was awful driving out there.

canny1234 · 29/01/2015 11:20

We now have blizzard conditions in Shropshire.So far this morning we've had snow followed by frozen rain/semi-frozen rain and sunny intervals.Now we have a white-out and I won't be able to get to dd1's parents evening tonight unless I move the car down our hill in the next few minutes( if this carries on and the sun doesn't appear again).Hmm

New warnings out here somewhat of a tease for us snow starved southerners! Ice is more likely to be an issue with a horrid mix of rain sleet and snow.

Sorry, Pesto Grin

Costco will still be there after the snow if we ever get any !

This might be our only chance !

LeftyLoony · 29/01/2015 11:35

I was going to say. We're under a warning yet have a 30% chance of one flake. Pah.

Sleety snow has started in the East Mids. Very heavy but more sleet than snow.
