Wind really increasing now in W-SW Ireland

Yes Manchester northwards in the firing line it would seem.

Thick frost here this morning everywhere white, after the neighbour scraped their car it looked like it had snow on it - what a change tonight with gales or severe gales likely in the morning.

Yes that is true take Winter 08-09 which seen temps slightly below average and widespread snows.

Not to be sniffed at

Wonder if the storm will be as bad as the one in January 2007, the wind reached 75 mph here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6272193.stm http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/EGCC/2007/1/18/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA

It's positively tropical in Miami, although it is to be expected even at Christmas but the north of the state seen frost this morning! how about xmas dinner on Miami beach? http://wunderground.com/US/FL/Miami/KMIA.html

Friday's low is still nasty for the northern half of UK, Happy Christmas everyone hope santa brought you what ya wanted

There is a glimmer of good news for some people UK Power Networks - supplier to millions in southern and eastern England - is offering to pay for their Christmas dinner. They're asking local restaurants and pubs with spare tables to email SDCSupportContact@ukpowernetworks.co.uk or call 0800 028 0959. Some 56,000 households supplied by the company are still without electricity."

A throw away BBQ for cooking Christmas dinner.........lol

Maybe a white Christmas for parts of the SE?

It will feel cold in the wind tomorrow from the midlands northwards.

Rather cold to say the least, -35c windchill :-O Devils Lake, North Dakota (Airport) Updated: 12 min 59 sec ago -27 °C Clear Windchill: -35 °C Humidity: 64% Dew Point: -32 °C Wind: 9 km/h / 2.6 m/s from theWest Pressure: 1032 hPa Visibility: 16.1 kilometers UV: 1 out of 16 Pollen: .10 out of 12 Pollen Forecast new! Clouds: Clear - (Above Ground Level) Elevation: 443 m

Yet another pulse of heavy rain just moved through but wind has eased off somewhat, was howling earlier.

GFS Ireland first midnight Tuesday Then it moves east effecting parts of N England, Wales and Scotland by 6am Tuesday morning

To be fair I reckon with the right set up anywhere in the UK can have "impressive" snow even in Cornwall. But with your height you would do well in the marginal situations too, probably places below 200m would have rain.

Another bitter cold plunge for the upper midwest, -20 uppers into Minnesota on Monday 4 Temperatures down to -30c in places like North Dakota and Minnesota

Perhaps you need counselling if lack of snow makes you feel like that......... it's not the end of the world, there's more important things than snow, the weather will do what it wants.

More snow for Northern Maine, another 12 inches expected over next 48-64hrs, on top of the 12 inches that fell 5 days ago. http://www.crownofmaine.com/camsky.php http://www.crownofmaine.com/caribou/office/ http://www.crownofmaine.com/keybank/ http://www.crownofmaine.com/nmain/

Not a great post for coldies on the model output by Fergie as he has more data available to him. Before this Winter started I had a suspicion that we may have a similar Winter to 2011-12 (the cold arriving sometime in February) as this stage most of January is looking mildish and wet.

Sounds like "cold zonality"

Frosty has been showing similar charts since early October lol, not seen a covering of snow yet, although we definitely had some sleet around 2pm.

It looks like one of those borderline events when places above 200m may well see a slight temporary covering but most of us see sleet.

You may well do being as high as you are. Obviously depends on precipitation with the main band moving away from the region. Your best bet is late afternoon/evening tomorrow.

Presque Isle in the state of Maine looking like getting 12-18 inches by the end of tonight here's the webcams http://www.crownofmaine.com/ http://www.crownofmaine.com/nmain/ http://www.crownofmaine.com/keybank/
