Metoffice now sleet at 9 BUT freezing temperatures in afternoon. Steady as she goes. Still a BOOM

Im aware car temps are not accurate but mine is now saying 2 degress. Was 4 an hour ago.

A horrible morning of rain for me I expect.  All we’ve had this winter was a dusting in December. It’s just going to be slightly too north!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Just does not seem like snow, cold air not really here before front arrives, normally need at least one frost and day before clear and around 0 degrees, not 6-7

Bar a big surprise, I expect tomorrow to be an utterly dire day here in lowland Worcestershire. Cold rain, perhaps sleety, pretty much the entire day. Bring on spring!

Seeing ahead … Signs of a reversal/block is coming…..finger/toes crossed

Evening all - Hope you are all well.

At least the early hours is at least somthing to look forward to.

Already booked myself off work being the gaffer, i dont have a holiday form! (Self employment)

Hit and miss i see? But at least is better than being way south and just rain. As the warnings go, theres a little chance. I will be up at 4:30am, just incase.

Local schools are closed here tomorrow.

 I remember Atlantic 252 Exactly what I was thinking, it hasn't felt properly cold today and still doesn't, just seems a bit chilly because it was so mild before. 

The number of times I've seen nothing but rain when fronts/systems hit cold air after days on end below zero makes me think 24 hours of 2-5C is not going to turn it to snow. Need the temp to drop tonight surely. But then I'm prepared to be surprised, the weather here does often act in a way that seems to defy the science

[I remember Atlantic 252]

too cloudy now for temps to drop, just a steady rise, met office has my area at 3 degrees at 6am, too mild for sleet

[Dancerwithwings]

Met office just updated on YouTube 

A fair upgrade if you ask me 

 

[Sleet30031972]

 Polar Maritimeare they? Do you know who? I'm a local teacher and not heard of any yet.......(though I am waiting with baited breath!)

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Holidays early up there, holiday starts on 12th here

[DerbyshireDales]

 Sleet30031972 Highfields secondary (Matlock) has just announced they are closed. 

[Sleet30031972]

[MattStoke]

Wish I lived in the Peak District.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

[marksp]

tomorrow could be fun.

Another yawn fest south of Birmingham for snow cant belive the met office even put out a warning on Monday the forecasting in recent years has been all snowflake varity no pun intended… if any of us was so bad at our jobs we would all get sacked
