The wind really seems to be picking up here. We probably won't see the worst of it here but hopefully it doesn't cause as much damage as predicted.

Tbh I thought the same thing, I think it may take a bit longer but the milder air is definitely coming unfortunately so will be raining by early afternoon I would think
I remember a few winters ago, the forecast said the mild air would be coming in, double figures etc... well the cold air fought back and it stayed cold with snow on the ground for a few more days.
Am not saying the same thing will happen today at all, but pointing out that the cold air may dig in and hold the mild air at bay if it digs back in enough. And No, it doesn't mean we know who has successfully predicted the next ice age!!

Snowing very heavily in Coventry

Just rain here in Coventry. Was expecting sleet at the very least. It's freezing cold though

No I was talking about the post T168hrs hrs in terms of the GFS upgrading from its 12 hrs run.
This milder interlude is unfortunately set in stone for a few days but the outputs still keep the jet track quite south after that.
And then our hopes are pinned on something from the ne. Stay tuned plenty of drama to come!
It certainly is a changeable picture and milder interludes within a British Winter is to be expected. Just need to that jet to be kept South and to have a NE which will stay with us for a bit.
A NE is even colder than a Northerly, it can be really proper cold (though the next ice age will still not be coming imminently just in case anyone believes the scare stories and myths we all know who peddles, lol)

Does the GFS 18 run this evening suggest that the cold air may win out tomorrow rather than the milder air? Saw a suggestion above that there has been an upgrade at 12 hours?
If this was to happen, then surely the forecast may change in the medium term too?

I am in the south west of the city, not far from cannon park. Where abouts are you?

Unexpectedly it started to snow here again in the last 30-45 minutes, that wasn't in the forecast!
However, not really settling and it stops and goes
-
Starting to settle on the road/pavement now.. a few hours of this and the morning will look great...

It’s Horrendous here throwing it down and 2” everywhere already
Your bit of altitude has been crucial I think.

Snowing heavy still in coventry but struggling to settle..oh well at least it looks good falling from the sky
Yes, it's Heavy, all over the grass and cars at least. It was very wet before but I think as it gets a bit colder, we will get a good covering on the pavements too.
-
Heavy snow here now in Coventry- settling on cars and on the grass but signs it may begin to settle on the pavements too but it hasn't done so yet.
The ground was very wet after the rain then sleet so it may take a bit of time.
-
Sleet here at the moment - but if the forecast is correct, should turn to snow soon. Radar showing just rain which is not consistent with what I can see out of the window.
Midlandsiceage from Solihull says it's snow there - very small margins in terms of altitude probably matters a lot in this marginal situation. Or its just about to get here.
-
The snow remains heavy here in Coventry but it doesn't seem to be settling at the moment.
It will probably change in an hour or 2.
-
Snow had got lighter here in Coventry but very heavy now with large sized flakes.
Will have further accumulations if it carries on like this.
-
We've had a lot of rain here but in terms of wind, nothing much at all. It really is just a bit of a light breeze.
It looks like we've escaped this one.
-
Looks like we've missed out on the worst of the windy weather, it was more windy yesterday morning.
Perhaps things may change, we'll have to see.
We have however had a lot of rain overnight.
-
Slight covering here now, snow starting to settle though only coming down moderately. It seems that it is getting a little colder though temperature is 0.4 degrees and therefore just above freezing. If it drops below freezing later in the night, then there may be signifcant accumulations here.
-
Snowing moderately here but not really settling at all..
-
Still snowing here but not settling on footpaths or roads. Temperature is 0.9 degrees here
-
Heavy snow here. Has settled on roofs, cars and grass. However, nothing really settling on roads or footpaths yet but with temperatures continuing to fall, this may change.
-
Light sleet/wet snow here for the last hour or so.
-
We've had some snow on and off though it has stopped here for now. However, none of it has settled but it is getting gradually colder. Therefore, any falls later on may settle.
-
We may get a covering in the next couple of days but we'll probably miss out on most of the snow. It seems that those in the East and South East are going to get most of the snow.
However, with thtese type of situations, things can change at short notice but we've already had memorable snow events this winter so anything else will just be a bonus.

The winds associated with Jocelyn here at least seem to be worse than the Isha one.
