Even though his missus has been told that a cm is an inch! (I do that, too!) LOL

Well the situation is somewhat unpredictable. Some have suggested 'hard to read', so it is not impossible. You never know

No, not really. It is slowing and is due to pivot in a bad place for EA

Barely a mm on the other side of Ashford, here in Kennington.

Nice dusting.

Says it all really. There were some people posting earlier they had promised the kids a snow day tomorrow when not a flake had fallen. Madness!

I would hope so, too! You have nice elevation there. Ashford (Kent) slowly turning white, mobile phone readers!

Perfect weather, then, for you '-) Hint: 'Snowflake' joke. LOL.

I've always found NW radar to be somewhat 'rampy' over the years. I've just found this https://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/precipitype.asp?V=Z How cool is that? Not rampy, either!

You know it's sh--1t when SE discussion is almost at the bottom of all regions on the region page that leads to here!

Yeh, looks like you are in the "dead strip"

Clutching.

VERY nice pictures, Neil. Thanks for that!

It's just dawned on me why this is not working out for snow lovers. Its just too windy: the showers are moving too quickly to drop much at all over any given area. Unless these showers merge and get much heavier, there will be flying toys everywhere in the morning when it sinks in that it's school/work/etc as usual. If you don't believe me, look at any weather radar in animated mode.

I know you watch XC, as I do. So you can see those DPs rising as the storm approaches. Not good. Does not bode well when DPs on the up even @ this early stage.

http://xcweather.co.uk/GB/forecast Any advance on 8 degrees?

Looks like Sunday is a rub-out for snow. Predictions now trending towards at least 5 Deg C in the SE. Some more like double figures!

That's rough, Dami. Really very sorry about that. A reminder to all that chasing cold should be tempered with thoughts for those who get ill / get old / are disabled.

Yes, and don't even get me started on their, there and they're!

My absolute fave is: "Bare with me". (For me, it always conjures a mental image of someone speaking with one ass cheek hanging out!) (If you call 'fave' a jarring, teeth grinding wince.) I'm glad I'm not the only one who is annoyed by the sub C grade proper O-level grammar displayed by posters, and some are the revered ones (you know, the ones that give the cold forecasts everyone hopes for, even when they don't verify). Net weather is no different to any other forum in this respect. Still hey-ho, year on year the GCSE grades get better and better -- more and more A-grades! LMAO. The best one is when you get so fed up with repeated homophone and homonym errors by a poster and you tell them -- then they say "sorry, typo". Typo? How does that work? Of course! Your finger slip just happened to replace a word with completely the wrong meaning, but the same sound as the word you should've used? That happened every single time you used 'there' instead of 'their', did it? Oh yeah, and the spellchecker can't detect the spelling mistake because there isn't one. Not that this is even a grammar thing. Grammar is several levels above putting the correct words in the right places! Be grateful. At least there's something to separate the educated posters from the ones who are not. I'm shore of that.

...or, when the easterly comes, its often like meeting your hero...

Right on! "failed easterly" indeed! The weather doesn't 'fail' - it is what it is. What does fail, however, are mostly people's expectations living up to the reality that we are an island in the Atlantic. Weather from the west will always dominate, and anyone who expects anything else will surely be disappointed. Over and over again.

Why is mild "horrible"? And why do we "need" low 850s? Doesn't anyone in here have a responsibilty to pay the heating bill? Perhaps you leave that to your parents...

Its a long drive to the Pennines!

8.2 degrees here and rising. Forget it!
