The lightest of snow is now falling here from the front!

Yeah, we'll be lucky if we scrape a dusting here going by those charts. Plenty more chances over the next week if we don't get anything though.

Amber warning just issued for Northern England, hope one follows for Scotland...or do I

2 hours today + 24 hours tomorrow

Meto are updating the warnings. I was expecting them to mention a high ground event tomorrow given the text forecast update this morning emphasised a mostly high ground event (and mainly high ground for rest of the week) but they've kept it for snow at low levels. On the impact matrix, they have put it down as a higher impact, but it's in the "unlikely" box....who knows UK weather warnings WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK Met Office UK weather warnings for rain, snow, wind, fog and ice. Choose your location to keep up to date with local weather warnings.

The snow must have got heavier here as there is the remnants of a covering being washed away by the rain. Looks as if it turned to snow under the heaviest precip.

Sleet and wet snow falling here. Not sure if it will come to anything, the higher parts of the M77 are getting a good dump by the looks of the traffic cams but not many other places yet.

Temp down to 1.9c with the front only 30-40miles away... Its been drizzle most of the day so it would be very strange if this ended up being snow! Although explainable I guess since we have a cold easterly surface flow as the front moves in.

Yeah they've split the warning in two as North of the central belt are likely to get more prolonged snowfall from both fronts, whereas the south may get snow from the first band but more likely rain later on Thursday into Friday. As you say, it'll be down to nowcasting tomorrow - I've seen these type of events go both ways in terms of remaining as snow or being all rain !

NMM is going for some more widespread snow tomorrow morning too... I'm still expecting rain or sleet here, maybe with some snow on the front edge but I'll hopefully be sleeping when that falls! Latest meto forecast firmly planted on the fence... "Cloud thickening and lowering to bring rain and snow to Ayrshire late evening, which extends into the Central Belt overnight. Heavier outbreaks and strengthening winds reaching far southwest towards dawn. Minimum temperature -2 °C."

It is starting to turn to snow here but still mostly sleet, so there is hope for those further east...

Sorry to say but its snowing here again! Only kidding, its just rain or sleet here too

Still working here... although the intensity of the sleet just increased on the latest frame at 19:00 so it probably is broken

The front for tonight looks pretty heavy on radar north of N.Ireland currently (if its the same one). Meto text forecast doesn't make that much of it... "Chance of some wintry showers, perhaps giving a slight covering of snow in places. Otherwise dry with clear periods, especially across northern Argyll. Widespread frost and a risk of icy patches. Minimum temperature -2 °C" Good news

Yeah, a few models hinted yesterday the showers would move in from more of a westerly direction through the day so we need that to happen. Haven't checked the models this morning though!

Nice to see snow around Ayrshire. The meto just issued a yellow snow and ice warning for the west, probably partly because the showers heading towards land now look heavier and more organised.

BFTE was due before Christmas, I wouldn't get excited.... A slushy dusting this morning which has all but melted already. The showers over the next few days seem to have downgraded from what I can see but will keep an eye on it Oh and good to see all the snow photos this morning!

Could happen if the westward extent of the snow gets more organised as it should start moving south as the band pivots. Well that's the theory/hope.

It's not snowing here by the way.

Don't want to jinx it but some heavier bursts starting to form around Glasgow....

After a look at the other regionals some areas around North East Wales and the Manchester area are seeing some heavy snow - not forecast! Shows how uncertain everything is.

Amber warning for some of the areas that got plastered last night, another dumping on top should bring some good totals to the hills just south of Edinburgh! Extreme storms in the summer and now the extreme snow, lucky lot!

There's not a lot here, it was melting as it was falling through the night and the slushy covering on the pavements has melted. There is still a covering on grass/cars and it's snizzling at the moment. The top end of mearns is 200m though so I would suspect they have a bit more snow cover.

Which doesn't cover here
