So some snow starved areas have finally had a little taste of snow. What will happen next?

met office weather warnings I'm still very unsure as to why they have overnight warnings for central areas, but there you go. Most likely areas to see heavy snow overnight are NE England into Lincolnshire but I think a fair bit may be rain near the coast.

It is very cool!

The precip seems to be in a blob south of a line from the Wash to just west of the IOW. Else where just the occasional snow shower

Right well it's bucketing down with snow right now and has been for a while but it's so wet out there it's not sticking! Argh!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 05/02/2015 08:40

Thanks oybbk. Still snowing here but too wet to settle which is a shame.

GloriaSmud · 05/02/2015 09:52

Yay for those with snow!
We've had an attempt at snow here (Leicester) but 'tis a bit warm (3.4C) now so mostly rain/sleet.

tawnyowlsrock · 05/02/2015 11:45

any snow due overt nite here kitty

ChippingInGluggingOn · 05/02/2015 12:39

Not a flake here. Central South East.

Still snow boots are in the car, just in case it changes later like it did last week!

MySweetPrince · 05/02/2015 13:11

Nothing here in Kent - blue skies and sunshine....think I'll pack my snow boots away as we haven't had any of the promised snow Sad...........(reverse psychology, that'll make it happen!)

MySweetPrince · 05/02/2015 13:43

Well the threat workedGrin - we have snow - proper flakes. Not laying tho as too wet. But still.....SNOW!

ColdJerseySpud · 05/02/2015 14:15

WE're due more snow tonight!

PestoSnowissimos · 05/02/2015 14:16

Glad you're feeling better Kitten Smile

It has been snowing here this morning ~ outskirts of Brighton. But it is now sunny & nothing was settling.

PestoSnowissimos · 05/02/2015 15:47

Snowing again now!!! Smile Smile Smile

DiaryOfAWimpyMum · 05/02/2015 17:04

Envy I don't think it will snow up here now and my hyacinth is growing.

meglet · 05/02/2015 23:40

the met office website really is hopeless these days.

North Hampshire has no snow forecast for 5 days, not even a single 4 am snowflake. But we're under the yellow snow warning bubble. Hmm

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/02/2015 07:57

And now they seem to have removed the warning.
They really do need to change their thresholds, but it does mean that people accept that snow can fall without being in a warning area. Just because it's snow it doesn't mean it is severe weather.

Freezing here this morning!! No snow though.

jazzandh · 06/02/2015 12:34

The wind........bitterly cold (but has dried my washing in the sunshine )

ColdJerseySpud · 06/02/2015 19:53

Bitterly cold here with strong winds

meglet · 06/02/2015 23:26

yes, good laundry day today.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/02/2015 07:34

Wish I had taken advantage!

We are all in for a very quiet spell of weather, coldish, dull at times with maybe a little bit of drizzle or just possibly light snow showers.

OP posts:
SwedeDreams · 07/02/2015 08:58

Good. Because I am off on holidays now so don't have any snow without me, will you?

GloriaSmud · 07/02/2015 11:01

'Tis certainly looking quiet weather-wise over the next few weeks. Brian Gaze a few days ago though on TheWeatherOutlook thinks that winter "might not be done with us yet" and there could still be the chance of colder weather.
(It better hold off until Swede is back!)

SwedeDreams · 07/02/2015 19:53

I'll bring back a ton of snow for you all when I return - we will have a massive mumsnet snowball fight Grin

GloriaSmud · 07/02/2015 20:06

Ho yes, a virtual snowball fight. It'll make a change from the usual bunfights!

RunDougalRunQuiteFast · 08/02/2015 09:42

Im wondering what you think of this please, OYBBK and Gloria? usual Express panic headline
I know they have one of these every year, but I've just got an allotment, so I want nice weather this year, please!
