Not quite January yet, but the weather warnings continue. Generally a mild outlook to come, though of course parts of Scotland will see more wintry weather on and off.

Snow in north Cotswolds but only a covering, thawing though 😞

I see plenty of snow picture up around the Aberdeen area.
whojamaflip just see it as it cooling down the ground for a hopeful another round.

A continued snow risk in eastern areas today from showers.

We had a dusting in west Oxfordshire and there is now light sleet.

We had a few flurries on the top of my Surrey hill this morning but too wet and warm for it to settle.

Good covering of snow on the south Northumberland coast

Meanwhile in Manchester, wall to wall blue skies and not even a frost. I'm hanging washing out!

Absolutely glorious, if a little chilly, here in Cheshire, fingers firmly crossed for something exciting on Thursday!

Nowt here this morning (Leicester), not even a frost.
Hoping for something a little later in the week <polishes sledge furiously> ❄

Glorious sun (for now!) in West Yorkshire- cold though!

Oooooh BBC Weather app has just moved us to heavy snow in Cheshire on Thursday!! (I know that doesn't really mean anything, but the thought of it is exciting!!)

A bit on the tops N Wales. West Yorkshire sunny

Cheshire gets the snow as does ne Wales. We're getting sleety rain on Thursday.

Thursday looks very windy for us. West coast of Ireland too

Some interesting charts coming out at the moment to do with the snow tomorrow/into Thursday. Still a forecasting mess though even at this close range. Excitement has reached fever pitch on Netweather's messageboards!

Beautiful sunny day in Chester, albeit a little chilly. Perfect day for a walk along the river 👌

Well I'm normally a big fan of the Met Office but today I am seriously unimpressed! Supposed to be dry now til 3 in this corner of Herts. But it's sleety hailing it down steadily. Checked on Netweather and that's what the forecast for the next 1-2 hours. Great. Supposed to be gardening...

Wow Met and BBC clearly using different models. Met shows now and tomorrow dry here, Bbc shows sleet. Working outdoors tomorrow now looking less likely 😪

Met office says snow for Thursday, but they've destroyed my hopes. They've lied to me so often, I just don't believe them anymore 😔

@colouringindoors
Oh gosh just wrap up warm. It's sunny here now but it will be bitterly cold tomorrow 🧤🧣

Mess is the right word Gloria Tomorrow mornings snow potential looks like it might be problematic after all! and as for tomorrow evenings?

I think I might get a new hobby like ermmm, counting cars or something, because I, like everyone else, has absolutely no idea!

www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings#?date=2023-03-08 The met office have firmed up the warning though and warn of residual effects into Thursday morning.

It seems that some people in the area will get rain and sleet, others slush, but it is possible also that snow may fall to lower ground giving reasonable accumulations.

Notice the impact grid which has gone up a likelihood and an impact level, so where it happens, it could be disruptive. Play tomorrow with caution and don't assume that just because it hasn't happened that it isn't going to happen. (unless I say so. Tomorrow looks less chaotic for me, so I should be able to nowcast more.

Graupel and sun ☀️

Today's thoughts from Netweather.

Any thoughts on North London tonight and tomorrow?

I'm trying to work out if we'll be getting snow in Hampshire or not...

I've never found forecasts so confusing?

Some say we have a high chance of more than 5cm...others say we'll have a bit of sleet and that's it.

Is it me or is everyone confused about what's supposed to be happening?
