Snow watch

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Might as well get going on this thread, though it is rather a tease at the moment.

The ECMWF model is hinting at the possibility of some much colder weather next week, perhaps bringing some snow to Scottish hills. BUT the met office are still going for quite a wild and wet affair instead.
The ECMWF shows quite an interesting scenario really.

I wasn't so well on Christmas day so didn't report we had a White Christmas (for a short while) in the peaks.

This morning - wet snow/ sleet has been falling but not settling. I will get out later the check the hill tops.

Updated weather warnings for today and tomorrow.

Sorry to here you weren't well Unescorted.

That snow warning for tomorrow does match the charts rather nicely :) Not everywhere will see snow of course - some will just get rain and some nothing at all.

Snowing here in Aberdeenshire. Nice coating very quickly.

Watching this thread with fingers crossed. BBC says we'll have lots of snow tomorrow, Met Office predicts none. Am I the only person here who app-shops until they find a forecast they like?! I'm desperate for snow...

Argh, 'hear' not 'here'

Im not sure why, but I've often found that the metoffice website graphics always underplay snow. Important to always read the text near the bottom.

Tonights snowfall is penetrative further east in Scotland than I think was shown on the models. It means that potentially wider parts of England may be hit by snow overnight into tomorrow.

How far south do you think @OhYouBadBadKitten ?

Possibly towards Reading way?
I see there is snow in North Yorkshire now, which is definitely not west.

Aw shame, I'm in Kent!

One of the models has just put some over night snow across the South Downs.

Snowing since about 5pm here - southern Yorkshire Dales

Snow here in east lancashire

This system is definitely misbehaving!

There is a lot of disparity between the met office predictions and several models tonight. They are struggling to decide what to do with some mesoscale features. It's often a case of 'nowcast' with snow and tonight, tomorrow is a classic example.

Snowing in Cheshire! ❄️😁

The light is wrong for snow but this just made me get up to look at this delight, Accuweather you are Inaccuweather

Just woke up to snow in Cheshire east ❄️❄️☃️☃️🙌🏻🙌🏻

Heavy snow in west Midlands

@Thatstoomuch

Heavy snow in west Midlands

Not in my bit ! We are supposed to be having snow right now but there is none ☃️❄️😢

We have loads in Staffordshire! I cannot wait to go sledging!

Nothing here in Leicester but there's a band of precipitation showing up here, moving west to east that hopefully will produce something in the next hour or two (if it stays cold enough.)

Some snow reports coming in here.

We are close to south staffs border. Defo enough for a snowman

@GloriaSmud

Some snow reports coming in here.

Somebody has reported snow in my town, they are either blind, daft or lying !

I happened to hear the shipping forecast yesterday morning. For the first time ever I heard the announcer with emotion in her voice as she reported ‘storm force 11’ and the word ‘violent’ I think I’ve not heard that word before before. Around Selsey Bill. So unusual I rewound and listened again. She was shocked by what she was reading.

Friends out west reported snow on Dartmoor and sleet further west yesterday.

London is freezing !
