it can't decide if it wants to turn or not here, keeps turning almost to full snow and then back to a mix with rain again!
-
Weird, i've never noticed this before today but
the last couple hours of rain the sky has been pitch black, but now that there's a few flakes mixed it, you can actually see the sky, and it's a deep orange colour! Is that the snow catching the street lights high up in the sky?

I think i'm actually most looking forward to see if it'll turn to snow in central london and if it does, if it'll settle and if so how long for!
-
Jokes aside, halfway under the front now and still rain.. and upon inspection the dew point has actually risen by 1c!
weather apps have it turning in about an hour or two more here, but by that point i think it'll have shifted completely past Hunstanton
Think i was always a bit too north but still will hold out hope and stay positive for those further south facing a couple cm later on

For those worrying about it raining and not getting any snow on the back edge, i've taken it upon myself to fix the radar for the whole region with blizzards affecting ALL!
well not all, i had to put rain over london otherwise it wouldn't have been realistic

update on the rain.. still rain
Anybody got any way of telling if its sleety that doesn't involve a naked ice dance outside or sticking my head out the window?
edit: serious question btw lol, can't tell if it's pure rain or not anymore

story of my life, watching out the window of the bedroom instead of living room just in case the extra 2 meters of elevation helps

What does this mean for East Anglia? I haven’t looked at the radar and I keep seeing people saying that the backend is already at Bedfordshire.
It is bone dry here.
Very confused.
Front has reached Hunstanton but nowhere near cleared us yet, i'd say you're about guaranteed some snow later, maybe even a couple cm over in norwich
still rain here in Hunstanton but i think first sleet is mixing in if my eyes are telling me the truth

under the main front now but even with dew point less then a degrees above freezing it doesn't actually seem to be trying to change to snow yet
-
well even if the snow is a no show, i'll still have plenty of fun watching everyone fall over on the ice in the morning
-
probably wishful thinking but i swear i saw a small flake amid the rain...
-
light rain with a dew point of 0.8c.. it's getting there but i'm still not convinced
-
Well my lamppost is at the ready for tonight, and if we do get any signs of settling snow i will be waking family up for a midnight snow walk to make the most of it..
The last time it snowed overnight here was boxing day I think 2015, started about 11pm and settled well with i'd say nearly 5cm by 1am when it stopped.. woke up at 6am to go out with family to build snowmen and upon checking out the window it was all gone! I was certain i'd imagined it.. still am to be honest! Does anybody else remember that?

Just east of Bristol - around 200m above sea level
Wow, never knew that that area was so high Always assumed it was close to sea level as they tend to struggle with snowfall but I guess that's just because of how far south it is

Yes.. checking the south-west thread it does seem the radar is being a bit too enthusiastic with dealing out the pinks today
-
According to the radar Bristol in the south-west is getting buried at the moment so surely that must be a good sign for those in the south of our region?
-
Good luck all for any accumulations!
I think just about all of us should see a few falling flakes, possibly not settling and possibly not lasting much more then an hour or two but will still be a pretty sight nonetheless. Don't forget that we have Thursday evening to look forward to for another snowfall which i think might just be the one for some..

I mentioned earlier in the day about the model runs slowly lowering the snow fall amounts one min we were talking close to a foot in places and now not even a inch?! I hope there's a reverse trend tomorrow
i may be wrong in saying but i don't think we were ever looking at more then a couple inches in places being realistic
personally if it's just a cm or two i'll take it and be happy with what i have as it's more then we've had in many other recent years, but if we do see upgrades in the 36 hours or so i definitely won't be saying no to them!

Damaging strong winds out there currently, been going for hours with trees down on a few local roads and power outages being reported in a village nearby.. but worst of all, it's bin night and our bin has blown over

It was snow here almost an hour ago, didn't last long but was pretty and has left a dusting on some surfaces over the top of a lovely frost which has oddly enough started melting with it still being below freezing. Temp -0.5c and dew point -1c, any explanations as to why its turning to rain further south?

Did you not get the hour of light rain last Friday evening 8.30 ish Derry? We did in Ders
It all died out just as it reached Hunstanton, went down to the sea front ready for it and it didn't quite make it.. even worse because it developed again over old hunstanton! Look's promising for the next couple days though.

still only snow mix with rain and the main front with the heavy stuff is just about to fully clear past so i fear when it does it'll go back to rain..
