    0C and cloudy after dropping to -1C. Temp isn’t racing upwards for a change so may see some flakes before it turns to rain. Who knows. My expectations have always been low for today.

    So have mine as I just thought it was going to be rain.... Met office upgrade, they must want me to go into panic mode..!!!!

    Edit: you can tell it’s bad for snow down here can’t you

    Definitely periods where it is more snow, a little more elevation is probably doing nicely. It is nice to see it falling when it does become more snowy than sleety at least. Feels like we were on the edge of something more special however.

    100% it seems to be turning quite snowy at points and I think, yes this is, just carry on like this... oh it’s back to sleet.

    Good luck to you guys further north/east I reckon you’re all in with a good shot as we’ve been so close.

    That’s crazy how it’s raining instead yet so cold . 
    good luck everyone . Looks like transition from rain to snow for many , am expecting same here rain as we’re not million miles away from Taunton . 

    Yes, just our luck down here! All stations on Wunderground all reporting 0C still and obviously DP’s below that, so it is rather frustrating.

    We are in a valley mind and I don’t think that ever helps in these marginal set ups.

    Convection is cruising on through though :(. I am impressed with how well I timed my alarm with the precipitation but dissapointed at what is falling so far.

    Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks, “what a waste of all that precipitation”! 
     

    I’m encouraged by the fact Matt in Wellington had the full switch over to snow and I’m hoping it can do the same here sometime soon...

    The mod thread is turning into the midlands thread, they all want the snow, well hasn't that area had snow already out of this weather pattern  we've been in for a while where all we've had down here is rain! 

    Well tonight I'm being Mr scrooge & the greedy midlanders can bugger off lol, hope it just strikes the the south west & far south, if only so I can see how many   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheikky or whatever his name is now can come out with when the snow misses him

    Was my thinking, they’re all going on about how FURTHER NORTH!!! Wooo! Meanwhile I’m a little concerned about the hole in all the snow maps around Taunton/up to Weston

    Good morning all. I asked a question on the model output thread that got lost in the frenzy of posting going on there, so was wondering if anyone on here could help me out.

    I was wondering what the OP and control runs were and whether they were somehow more powerful or reliable than the rest of the ensembles?

    A very novice question I know but thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

    Very novice myself too - always (well some of the time) like to read the mod thread but have never got into trying to learn them properly.

    However as far as I know, each ensemble member is fed slightly different (and therefore incorrect) starting data, which is why they then come out with widly varying solutions a lot of the time. Small changes can make a big difference!

    Difference between the Operationals and Control runs though, must say I don’t actually know, I’m sure someone else will be able to tell us though.

    I don't think there have been any good chances of snow for many people so far? It has all been marginal/quick moving scattered small events. I could understand if it was missing out on a decent channel low, but not the offerings so far?!

    There's been zero chances here, and the past model updates haven't shown anything anywhere near close to even raise an eyebrow, so I haven't been bothered by it. I've enjoyed the cold weather for what it is, and for statistical purposes.

    Oh yeah, also got an ice day out of this! I've only recorded 2 in the last 10 years and the last one was with a lot of snow cover, so that makes today's one very impressive.

    No there definitely hasn’t, I think that’s probably the worst bit considering we’ve just gone through a ‘cold spell’!

    Personally I was just hoping that in the colder weather we’ve had we’d pick up some scraps of snow somewhere to give us at least some falling snow or a dusting but that seems difficult in itself.

    Think we may have had one too, but it’s difficult to tell when you don’t have a weather station! Was your last ice day in 2018? I recall that with the snow cover there were some low minima and maximas recorded.
