Looks like the heavy stuff is staying south of near enough the exact same line as the event earlier on in the month, literally 5-10 miles south of here :-(
Sad times for us! There's still time for a miracle to happen yet though.

I didn't expect to wake up with a layer of sheet ice and snow everywhere

It was fun earlier watching the transition from rain to sleet, to massive flakes of wet snow to powdery snow as the temp plummeted thanks to evaporative cooling. It absolutely hammered down and stuck fast to the wet services. Even settled on trees, telegraph poles etc. Surfaces probably still cold from the last few days.
Was rain for a while first. Then it slowly started turning to sleet. Then BOOM snow . Covered the place in minutes. Huge flakes aswell .

Started off at 2.9 and -0.4 but fell quickly to 1.1 and -1.6. Now 1.6 and -1.0.
Might be a bit sleety then( maybe wet snow) with the slightly higher Temps+ Dew points . Let's hope not though!
I imagine the temps will cool in the showers anyways which should help.

I remember when south Wales got a red snow warning for something like 30-40 cm of snow.
3 minutes ago, MattStoke said:Think there was a Met Office Amber warning for that one.
Rash of showers moving across Wales. Showing as snow on the Netweather radar. Not sure though. Air temp of 1.7 and dew point at -0.7.
If it comes down heavy enough you might just manage for some snow
(now that I've said that it will probs be rain) What were the temps and Dp for the snow earlier?

Lived here 10 years now and it has snowed several times each year (even during the crap winters). And besides if it doesn't snow, I only drive 15 minutes to be in snow by Leek usually or the Moorlands.
Back in Birmingham it always felt more like a once every few years event
We do get snow yearly just we only get a lot of it every 3-5 years ( sometimes more , sometimes less) It does help being higher up than some areas near by. Eg 180 m where I am in comparison to Crewe being 50 meters.

When I was with my ex (a Stokie) she was always telling me it was snowing while I only saw rain in London. I remember on a few vists to hers it snowed, and there was one Boxing Day I came up and Stoke had thick snow on the ground. Then last winter, my first living up here I saw more snow than I had seen in London in years.
Stokies always tell me they don't get much snow yet, to a Londoner they get tonnes! Plus way more ice, frost and fog.
Is amazing what 200 or so miles can do ! I remember it snowing a fair bit on boxing Day a few years ago. I can only fully remember walking up a hill I live on and falling over though...

Another line of showers moving in from Wales now

So great to be living somewhere where it doesn't take a miracle to get proper winter weather. Seen more snowfalls in Stoke this winter than in the last several London winters combined!
I think we might of had more this year than we have had for a while

You’ll get the best weather on the planet.... drizzle!
Definitely looking forward to it !

I do feel like we will get more snow over night if that rain over Ireland survives the journey.

There's only one way to find out... hang up a stocking on the end of your bed and go to sleep reeeeally quickly and, if you've been a good boy or girl all year, then in the morning, there'll be SNOW!
(It is just possible I've muddled up meteorology and Father Christmas there...)What if I'm on the naughty list? Do I get any snow ?

And look what's sitting over Ireland, in the same line to us as the recent snow...!
MORE!will that make it this far though?

Snow stopped now. Was a good whiteout while it lasted though

Interesting, turned to snow here but i don't think it will stick, way too wet.
it's sticking here
-
really big, heavy wet flakes here at 180 ish meters
-
-1c here. 1c colder than what the metoffice forecast predicts. So maybe when this rain ( or snow ) comes later it might be 0c instead of 1c forecast which is usually cold enough for snow.
-
could be snow at that temp ..
9 minutes ago, MattStoke said:Hmm.

-3.5'c here . I don't think the snow is going to melt today
-
what?? Weather station says it got down to -13.8c over night
(now that I've said that it will probs be rain) What were the temps and Dp for the snow earlier?
