Snow watch part 3 Feb/March 2018

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

old thread lots of space on there at the moment, but I'm off out for a bit. Please fill that one first :)

Just driven to school. Gritters are out. Don't think I've ever seen them gritting so early in the day. We live in town but school is rural and it has clearly snowed much more here than at home. Lots of cars coming the other way with snow on them too.

Bedfordshire update - it's stopped snowing now and the sun has come out.

Had the odd flurry here in south yorkshire on and off all morning. Seems bright and calm but cold at the minute. Very much calm before the storm I think.

Only a little light snow forecast in South Manchester. Bloody snow shield in action again...

Just popped out for a walk and its actually sunny here in Crawley now, sky is blue and no sign of snow so maybe we will miss out :)

Bloody cold here in east coast Scotland ('real feel' -3)

Snow due to start around 3am. I have two meetings tomorrow (afternoon and evening), then one on Wednesday morning 20 miles away - won't bother if the weather is bad lol. After writing off my car on black ice as a newish driver a few years back I'm not the best in ice/snow.

Change in the amber warning area on met office, hope someone can do a link. Trying to figure out the difference between amber and yellow..

My app said snow from now until tomorrow morning. It now says cloudy until 6 am then 80% chance of snow until 11am where it drops to 30% .

Met Office Weather Warning link

Hoochy The warnings are graded (from lowest risk to highest) Yellow, Amber, Red.

(It took me some ferreting around the site to find that, yesterday!).

Cunk we had snow this morning but the sun burnt it off. Can confirm light Snow is currently falling outside chez Reastie.

It's just been blizzard-like here in South Staffs. Back to sunshine again now.

wet? how?

How is it wet? Or how wet is it? Because it snows but doesn't settle so we just have puddles. Big ones. It's just wet.

Slightly gutted we’ve been moved out of the amber warning for tomorrow. I wanted all the snow or none at all (yes I am acting like a child, but I want snow!)

Lancashire - few drifting tiny flakes (very odd looking). Bit chilly (I put a coat on)
Nothing else to report!

I have often heard it will snow and then it doesnt so I am not expecting anything to be honest :)

looking outside now, brilliant sunshine and clear blue sky

Surrey is Very Disappointing

I agree it's very wet here in Herts now after a big flurry but nothing settled on the roads/patios except a little on the grass. Blue skies now!

Just checked and the met office update has moved the amber warning outside my area now. Im gutted. I was firmly in the amber 2 hours ago. No snow for me Friday now either and I've still got 14 cans of sodding soup to eat

It never snows here anymore. We used to have snow days as children. My DC have never built a snowman or had a snowball fight. I need to stop getting my hopes up. Every year the met office threatens and it never happens.

It looks like after all the uncertainty, there's a snow warning for Friday now.

Update from West Oxfordshire: Couple of flurries around 3ish and now another one. Looks like small polystyrene balls!

Just marking place. Still sunny in Wales but wasn’t expecting anything today.

MooseyMoo - that's the type we had this morning.

My mother has been on the phone from just outside Witney and she says it's snowing and laying.
Three flakes here in South Hampshire and it's sunny and freezing.
