Snow watch Winter 2019/20

First proper potential for the winter on Friday - if you live in the Peak district and parts of Scotland.

No snow yet in Central Scotland

Snow in Devon this evening on Dartmoor. I drove home with snow on the A30 near Okehampton; more than a dusting. Exciting!

We never have Snow LostinWales. When the beast from the east left everywhere including Cardiff under a foot of snow, we had nothing. My car did get covered in slushy sleet earlier though.

Are you on The Edge BestIsWest with the pesky warm sea mucking everything up? We must be close to you, there was a photo of the UK from space during the beast and we were in the only place in the whole country where it was green.

Yay to snow!!!!

Two years ago left the house with my wife, not a trace of snow , get 1/3rd mile away and they are thinking if cancelling the buses!!
It was crazy
We are at the confluence of two rivers, at the foot of a mountain with 4 others around us.
It makes the children really cross though, it’s not fair on them.
My neice has snow tonight just outside Blackwood

This morning there is hill snow in parts of Wales, the west Midlands and SW England.

It's also fascinating to watch how the models are evolving overall. While we may move towards more average (warmer temps) next week, I'm not sure for how long for, if this occurs. There are mixed signals, but some indication that we may return to cold.

Brother is working in Bath and woke up to a snow, with some light settling. Think it shocked him!

I bet!

No snow in Edinburgh, but can see snow on the Ochils and the Pentland Hills.
Was a Northerly, and now an East wind.

I'm feeling .....( Whispers quietly ) a bit 2010

I'll be totally honest, so am I.

That's not a forecast though!!!!!

Almost like a Daily Express forecast.....

Although to go full Express and James Madden (?) We are in quite a solar minimum

There are roads closed near to me, in the Neath Valley. I don't remember it being so early before. Can it be predicted if we may have a colder than average winter?

Peri!
it is a very quiet cycle.

Not really sprouts. Indications were for a mild start and at the moment I'd say I'm not so sure about that. I'm giving up this long term forecasting malarky before I've even started.

I'd love some snow but we are stuck with freezing cold rain and wind instead. It's not even pretending to be autumn ffs.

I am on the edge Lost, about 1km from the coast, on an estuary.

Oh, me too Best!

Sorry, came on to say just had insane intense hail/rain. Although that might not be news to Best

Also (sorry, can't keep a thought in my head this evening!) the weather radar is really interesting to watch, so used to our weather coming from the West/South West it's nice to see it coming the other way. Also explains why it feels so chilly.

Im doing a half marathon in the Cheviots on Sunday. There is also a marathon. This goes to a higher elevation. The organisers posted a video earlier of the marathon route today. The snow didn't look great. Im hoping for a bit of snow for prettiness value, but not a lot as I'm worried it will make the route more difficult to navigate.

We are in Keswick next week so would love to know if any snow comes in next few days

That will be interesting Running! It could be washed away on Saturday, I'm not sure, the temps are borderline.
