Well I've had an awesome day. Somewhere between 4 to 5 inches here in Oakham (halfway between Peterborough and Leicester), most of which fell in the last 5 hours! Great stuff!!

Fantastic idea Jackone! I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for these updates, fantastic to see that the alps could be in for their first real snow of the season next week. I'm a very keen skier (although I cannot afford it too often!), and I'm hoping to make the trip out to Tignes in France at some point this winter, have been there twice before and can honestly say it is my favourite place in the entire world. So any updates on that resort in particular (or neighbouring Val d'Isere) would be greatly appreciated! Not sure of the best place to look, but I've been trying to research on average what time of the year the alps usually see the first good snowfalls, if next week turns out well for them, would that be particularly early in comparison to some of the recent (often very late starting) years?

TETIS i live about 25 minutes drive west of you, if the latest beeb forecast is true we will see little if any snow. It looks as though it is not just further south as you had earlier feared, but with precipitation losing intensity much faster than previously thought. Southern england will still get snow (though not nearly as much as some predicted). Midlands may well get very little if any.

Yes but that was the 18z gfs forecast, the bbc's was made at 00z (6 hours down the line, updated data etc.) and as much as everyone slates them, i bet theyre right. Gunna watch their forecast now on bbc news 24 (in about 2 mins) if it is the same at at 12 (or worse) im going to bed and EVERYONE is gunna be angry at the METO tomorrow. *crosses fingers and hopes the bbc go back the other way*

THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE MOTHER OF ALL DOWNGRADES (that is, if the bbc are right, and seeing as it is all now supposed to start how can they be wrong from this range?) BBC at midnight: Temps higher EVERYWHERE, less snow EVERYWHERE, VERY little IF ANY snow getting as far north as the midlands, rain for most south of m4, then all precipitation gone by mid afternoon. Could well be the BIGGEST SNOW LET DOWN OF MY LIFE, AND IT HAPPENS A LOT.

Latest BBC forecast is an absolute shocker for everyone! Southern England (mainly central southern) will see snow, but with much higher than expected temperatures, and with the precipitation fizzing out by midday tomorrow, hardly even reaching the mindlands (if at all). The BBC forecast took a massive MASSIVE turn for the worse in the space of 30 minutes. This is quickly turning into a poor (at best) event for everyone unless this forecast is totally wrong.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BBC weather has COMPLETELY changed!! No snow for Northern Ireland, snow for southern England, barely getting into the midlands, and fizzing out completely by midday, with the most northern extent of snow in a line between top of wales and the wash. How can they change it so much in an hour?????? NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM NOT GUNNA SEE ANY AARRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!! There's gunna be a LOT of dissapointed people tomorrow.

When they get you to think that, they have won

I see that nobody had the balls to predict a CET of below 0 :wacko: :blush:

Been snowing here for a few hours, couple of cm's everywhere which is lovely to see. However the temps are on the rise and i think it is struggling to accumulate any further because of this.

Temp 3C Heavy precipitation, somewhere between hail/sleet/snow, bits of all 3. Definately not rain tho

nice to see majority below average http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

looking nice, mostly below average temps thanks tim

A decent overnight frost here, its 10:30 and in the shade it hasnt begun to melt...

My God.... When I went to bed last night it was category one.... Now it is category 4.... soon to be 5.... If it happens to take a more northerly track over the Tampa/Orlando region I am screwed...
