Temp is steady at 0.5C with a dew point of 0.3C. It's a bit concerning as it's so cloudy i can't see how the temp is going to drop. I'm hoping it may be down to wind direction and possibly we could still be feeling coastal modification. Does anyone know when the wind direction will change? Is it after the clearance of the first front?

Showers incoming! Seem to be losing intensity as they head for the coast though. Might get a dusting! Dew point exactly 0.0C! As far as tomorrow go's i feel much better after seeing this!

Great post. Thanks for that. Shame them charts show rain at the coast though! We'll see. Looks like a shower incoming here at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up mate. Might get a covering if that hits right. Might just head out for an early morning walk!!

Just getting light and peeped out of the window. Looks like there's a nice covering up on the wolds. Temp dropping now and finally at freezing!

Cracking showers overnight. Shame they were mainly sleet! Hail woke me up a couple of times crashing on the roof for me to peek out the window but nothing laying. Just the wrong side of freezing at 0.7C with Dew point 0.6C. Just seen the BBC forecast which shows no rain at all tomorrow for our region! I do hope they're right! MO site forecast still shows snow to rain event for us but heavy snow showers packing behind on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wish that piggin BBC news presenter would stop her wittering and whining about the cold forecast! Very annoying!

Do you know when the NAE updates?

Flippin eck! The lampost is gonna be my friend for the next few days. MetO forecast has shown rain, sleet, light snow and heavy snow for Monday. Right now it's showing a mix of all of them with heavier snow overnight tomorrow. Also showing light snow overnight tonight! Very confusing! Check the lampost time!

Well, i said i wouldn't moan! Temp 3.6C with Humidity at 67% giving a Dew Point of -1.7C. Ground wet so it must have rained in the last hour or so. Still concerned about Monday and any snow turning to sleet or rain at the end of the day. Does anyone know when the NMM / NAE model runs next? (Hopefully it was just a blip!). Or i could just hope this is right!

Is there any -50C uppers there? Seems that's what we need to get snow on the coast!! Does that snowline you talk of include the east coast? The forecasts i see are showing sleet now down the coast. Would love to have an event where i could look forward to seeing snow worry free. Perhaps i should move inland! I'll stop moaning now.

WOW! My wish instantly came true! haha!

I wish the piggin locations were back on. Trying to figure IMBYism's in the MOD thread is near impossible now. MO location forecast now showing snow turning to sleet here on Monday and rain showers Tuesday and Wednesday. A bit disappointing to be honest. Hey ho plenty of time for change!

Not yet but the sky was turning before it started getting dark with some angry looking shower clouds out to sea. Dew points good at the moment too. Ooops I'm in Scarborough. keep forgetting the locations switched off!

Looking like an interesting spell of weather coming up. Not quite sure about coastal marginality over the weekend. -7/-8 uppers should support snowfall with all other key ingredients in place however forecasts on the BBC and MO website show rain or sleet down the coast even on Sunday when the real cold has dug in. Can anyone shed any light? It then gets very interesting on Monday with what looks to be an all snow event for our region.

Simply different forecast models used mate. I think the Met Office use there own UKMO data and Netweather use data from the GFS. Meto update for Sunday Outlook for Friday to Sunday: Mainly cloudy with patchy light rain at times on Friday, perhaps wintry over hills. Further showers on Saturday and turning increasingly cold. Snow showers and cold northeasterly winds on Sunday.

This event was my first ever memory! 4 years old trudging down the street with snow to my waist! And with me constantly glued to the charts and MOD thread looking for snow i think I'd be a psychologists dream!!

Thanks for the Info Ian. That indeed has made me a lot more cautious. Completely different ball game this time round but MOGREPS solutions right in December. Still fascinating watching the drama unfold!

I'll echo Col with the batteries mate. I stupidly used pound shop batteries for mine and the range was crap. Changed them to duracells and i can put the receiver anywhere in the house with no probs. Was a hard lesson to learn as iv'e got my station on the roof so it's a full on mission to change batteries. Especially when it's windy or icy!! Happy new year to you anyway and hopefully we'll get some good cold soon

Ooops. Fair play. What are the verification stats like for these models? If short/ Medium term models have recently struggled surely confidence in long range models would be lower? I'd be curious as to what they forecast in situations against the norm such as 2010? Is the Glosea4 similar also? I think i saw that was also showing zonal.

Are these not the same models that were showing blocked pattern and an Easterly last week. Pinch of salt.
