Snow starting to get a bit heavier and the flakes a little bigger. Still quite a bit of melting going on of any lying snow, dripping from the shed roof.
I think it was always going to be a battle to get the snow laying on lower ground. If the snow can persist with decent intensity hopefully a decent cover will build through the day.
Temp 0.7C
dp -0.9C

Not exactly a winter wonderland here this morning. Can't tell if we had a covering and then it's melted or more likely; the ppn has struggled to lay on wet surfaces. We have a covering on the grass, roads and pavements have a very thin cover in places but mostly slushy or wet.
The snow is rather light, smallish flakes.
Current temp 0.8C
dp -0.8C

I'm going to give it another couple of hours and see what the heavier precipitation brings. Slightly concerned the dew points have risen from -3.5 to -3.0 in the last hour.
Yeah looking at the radar I'd say the heavier stuff currently giving snow cover in Wrexham and Mold should be hitting us in within the next couple of hours. I hope I wake to a blanket of white!
-
Light snow still blowing in the wind and dampening the ground. I think I'll hit the hay and see what tomorrow brings.
Current temp 1.7C
dp -3.0C
Easy on the beer Dave Mac, you need to be able to enjoy the snow tomorrow
-
snow starting to pick up the intensity a bit here. Nothing laying yet and still small flakes but coming down fast - especially in the strong wind.
-
It's snowing but due to the strength of the wind it's hard to gauge how much is falling when looking at the lampost
If the wind carries on as it is, we may end up with 6ft drifts against east facing walls and virtually nothing anywhere else!
-
A few flakes just started blowing in the wind.
Temp. 2.2C
dp -3.5C
And blowing a gale!
-
I don't think snow will settle here, it'll have been blown 20 miles down the road haha! I would live to have an anemometer this evening. A few house sale signs have gone lol.
Certainly a wild one tonight.
I posted a map before for current max wind speed gusts here's the link:
-
That wind is horrendous. We always get strong winds here whenever they are forecast but these are really bad!
Same down the road here Darren. Gusting to over 50 mph. If the snow sets in over the next few hours I don't think the blizzards will only be reserved for the hills!
-
Just started here in Mold, NE Wales - a lot of rain in it at the moment and we're at 125m asl!
Im sure it will turn to snow completely but we might be too wet first!
Thanks for the info. I hope it turns to snow soon for you. I think you'll still be getting a good covering from this event.
-
Rain's being reported from Shrewsbury however
Report of snow in Lichfield, Staffordshire @ 84m asl

By the look at the 20:45pm Met Office radar its basically knocking on the door of South West Cheshire already. Remarkably earlier than expected.
Perhaps less than 10 miles away from Chester.
-
Currently 2.7C dp -3C
I'd imagine by the time the ppn arrives around midnight (perhaps a little earlier) the temp will be below 2C add to that the effect of the ppn which will cool and lower the air temperature, then I'd hazard a guess the temp will be somewhere between 0-1C.
That wind is howling, certainly bordering on gale force gusts!
-
The wind really starting to pick up outside now.
Latest wind gust speeds over the UK:
-
Just walked back from the gym and it really feels bitter outside with a strong Easterly breeze that cuts right through you. Certainly feels cold enough for snow.
Current temp. 3C
dp -3.8C
-
The front making good progress North. Into S Wales already.
-
Ian F just now talking about Amber upgrades expected this morning with Exeter worried regards possible totals of 75cm in North Wales!!
That would be unreal!!
*edit* probably for the mountains but heck, that is a serious dumping of snow. Kind of reminds me of the NE USA blizzard, earlier this year.
-
Will be interesting to see the updated weather warnings later this morning after Ian F mentioned discussion at Exeter last night, regards Amber upgrades for some areas.
-
More potential for 10CM, easily 5CM widely.
Thanks Glenn.
Indeed it highlights the stall position of the front and the chance of 10cm+ on Saturday is between 50-70% for the region.
I dont expect the really heavy stuff to arrive until after dark tomorrow so im still going for 10 to 15cm low lying areas minimum.Over saddleworth etc im going for 25cm maybe more.
Yes, it looks like it won't be until the afternoon tomorrow when the heavier precip. arrives according to latest Met Office forecasts. So many places might have light snow falling during the morning with not much laying.
-
Warning level 10 and chance of 10cm+ 90-100%
And that's just for Friday, do you have Saturdays's Glenn?
-
There are peeps that *don't* like snow??!!!!
There's always a few wet blankets
-
BBC national weather forecast just now looked good for the region
*edit* If you like snow that is!
-
We just need things to stay as they are - but they never do ! As predicted the METO have revised the warnings, and we are in the comedy semi-erection and balls zone.
A very delicate position to be in IMBY nestled in the testes.
-
Latest warnings are out. Looks like we will be upgraded to Amber tomorrow. Potentially Red on Friday depending on the runs going forward.
They are quite unpredictable, but for my location it shows 35CM haha! Not going to happen.
All within 36hrs now but for the Northwest 36hrs is still firmly in the realms of FI!
If things are looking the same by the morning I'll start to be a bit more confident.
Remember the last time the region was placed under an Amber Warning, I believe it was around 36 hrs from the event (maybe less) and most of the region was removed completely from the Warning Area!

My dp has actually dropped 0.1 of a degree in the last hour. Hopefully it's a continuing trend.
Just wish these flakes would get bigger. The snows coming down quite heavy but the flakes are miniscule.
It's a slow process but the wet ground is starting to turn white.
