Welsh hills/mountains might get a bit of snow tonight but it's now heading south of here, and that narrow band in southern scotland appears so light it will surely fizzle out. Nice and sunny day forecasted tomorrow and all eyes turn to Thursday. Will this be a near miss or deliver the white goods?
It might start off as Snow in Thursday but will quickly turn back to rain except for very tops.
It could give some snow on its back edge as it clears to south east.

Brad that was me that Tweeted Paul Hudson it also Sleeted in Hathersage which is pretty low down in the valley but was more rain than Sleet then it Also sleeted heavily about 1mile from Owler Bar roundabout this time it was more Snow than rain an could actually see snow flakes falling car Thermo was reading 2c at time.
Seen some great scenes up there in winter.
Castleton is my favorite area.
Can be a completely different world from down here.

Definately a wintery mix in Sheffield at the moment, went up Mam Tor today that was fun with a gale blowing at the top and hail like glass hitting your face. Was 3c on top of snake pass mid afternoon so expecting snow tomo in heavier showers.
Paul Hudson said on look north that Sleet had been reported up on Snake this evening.

Calendar news weatherman just shown a chart for later this week with winds coming down from Scandinavia.
Temperatures this evening are -25 in north and -18 in south.

Frost free this morning.
Overnight Snow didn't happen.

Dewpoint just about to go into positive numbers, and a recent temp rise MEANS i wont have to endure the pain of standing duty on lampost watch tonight. Better luck tues night with some back edge snow hopefully ?
Been a cracking winters day today though..
Not much chance of seeing any down here then.
-
Just gone up to -1 from -2 as cloud starts to come in from west.
-
I don't take charts for more than five days away all that seriously.
Been let down far too often over years.
Apart for higher parts further North I don't see anything to get excited about this coming week at moment.

Can someone explain what the deal is with the level 3 cold weather alert for nothern England? Surely if they have this warning in force then we should aswell? I don't know about englandshire but it dropped to -7C here last night and there has been a frost on the ground for 3 days solid without lifting, even in the sun.
Just to make things a tad worse, their level 3 warning is catagorised as "severe weather action" .... just one level below "NATIONAL EMERGENCY"
Rant over
Its still sub zero down here.
It takes a good few inches to cause any panic around here unlike them softies down south.
1cm equals National Emergency down there.

You'll need to put on the old Parker is one of his favorites.

Temperature falling like a stone.
Central heating turned up.

Looking as though we could see a light covering around here tomorrow night.
Pity most of it will have gone by daylight on Monday.

Hi folks - forgive my ignorance but did 68/69 turn out to be rather harsh for the UK?
Yes it was and this is the first winter I remember because I was only 4 at time.
I remember overflow pipe freezing over outside resulting in water tank overflowing and flooding house.
Also built my first Snowman. :-)

I remember the 79 winter very well, it was my last year at School and we was having our mock exams in February so while rest of school was told not to attend, we had to attend and with no public transport and had to trudge 2 miles through deep Snow on the Thursday and Friday.
Some Snowdrifts were waist high.
The late March Blizzard gave the deepest Snow around here in South Yorkshire, over a foot in most places and more than this up on moors to west,
Where I lived back then I could see hills to West of Sheffield and I can remember Snow laying on ground in deep drifts from first winter Snow event on New Years Eve right up into May.

Hard to believe that 12cm of Snow would cause problems in Moscow.

Hi everyone, new on here.
Like the post above mentioning December 1981, it was similar to 2010, very cold with lots of Snow events but followed by a milder second half to winter.
The winters back in the 70s and 80s that had long major Snow events never really got going until after Christmas.
This is something I always look for now days.

Agreed, colder than average.... but the express does have a tendency to 'overreact' at times! I guess only time will tell.
They're bound to get it right one day. lol

Hope I'm wrong and it all falls as Snow but can't see it with a system coming from that direction and tracking down eastern side of UK.
