Weather warnings ~ snow/ice Wednesday (13/1) onwards

[GloriaSmud]

issued by the metoffice. Includes an amber warning for snow in some areas of Scotland.

Snowing and lying in Glasgow just now

We are covered by a snow warning in N Bucks, although the number of flakes the BBC is affording us ranges from two two two to two one one one peters out completely. The answer will be when I get up in the morning to get the chickens up - and then the announcements on FB

We're also just in the snowband warning

Bbc suggests it will rain first which is generally not good for snow settling.. I'm wondering if I can try and create a patch if I cover up some of the patio then lift the cover when it stops raining? Or would the ground temperature mean it melted anyway?

At Stirling just now..much snow

We have snow, yeahhhhh!
Greater Manc / Lancs.
Hope we get loads, I love it.

Snowing in Stirling, the pavements are going to be a nightmare as they were still iced over and slippy from the snow fall on Wednesday night.

Keith, I'm with you on the sulk bench. We aren't covered in the warnings at all.

We've reached a 'high' of 2.9C today. Looking at this, the rain/snow is getting closer (Leicester)

Some nice snowy scenes on the trafficScotland website. And there's a slight covering at Braemar ~ snowgate open for the moment.

We had a few flakes forecast for Hampshire for tomorrow but this afternoons Met Office update has changed it all to rain .

We have teeny tiny flakes of snow

Snowing quite persistently here in Saddleworth.

I'm in Rutland Gloria - keeping fingers crossed that the snow comes this far east!

Snow settling in Manchester! This is almost unheard of!

Me too Meg.

Looking at the radar it currently looks like the snow will arrive but then be replaced by rain a few hours later.

Ideally I'd like that cold air to stay there turning it all to snow.

Snow in Manchester! Not as much as my mum has in Renfrewshire.. But it is snow
It is lying but only a little more than a dusting !

I bet we don't get any down here ~ high on the Sussex Downs, outskirts of Brighton

bish I'm annoyed because 24hrs in advance the Met office forecast light snow for tomorrow morning. That's close enough for me the kids to get excited. Then they cruelly snatched it back, taking our hopes and dreams with it .

Yay Perihelion (I know you were saying that you wouldn't get any wintry stuff!) And InMySpareTime too ~ it's mentioned on weather forums a lot that Manchester has some sort of barrier that stops snow falling.

I'm hoping for snow too Lockheart. Nothing's reached Leicester yet ~ metoffice says it's supposed to start as rain and turn to snow about 8pm. It's 0.9C now though (according to my weather station) so we'll see what starts first!

The lovely big clouds we had before it got dark have fecked off!

Still nothing
It has clouded over though.

I keep checking uksnow Map live on Twitter. It's snowing in Norwich apparently and in north west but nothing here.

Still nothing here. South Warwickshire :(

Still nothing in Rutland :(

Been out, had several snowball fights, built snowmen, made snow angels and generally rolled around in the snow like dogs.....all in 2cm of snow and in the dark. It's still sort of snowing, like drizzle but in snow form. Will be up early in the morning to do some sledging up a hill
Gloria I'm reasonably happy **
