Snow is getting much fatter and heavier now here, settling on everything which was well and truly frozen overnight.

looks like my praying for no snow on the 17th around here is working! Thank you GOD!!!

Yes Exactly - it will NOT happen anything like that. Classic 18z scenario that has about 10% chance of actually happening.

I am seriusoly praying we have no snow on Thursday 17th!! PLEASE NO SNOW in my area until after 2pm on the 17th!!!! After that then great, let it fall!

I normally find the ECM to be the more reliable one at this time range. Personally I'm hoping it verifies although that goes against what most others here would like to see. Looking at the evolution it's very plausible, however so are the other models as well. It's still anyones guess as to what the finer details will be and I do find as things get nearer the most reliable will usually be the fax charts as they have human input.

I've kind of got everything crossed that the ECM is correct this time. As much as I'd love some snow for purely selfish reasons I've organised our annual Christmas golf do on the 17th next week and there's 40 of us playing (hopefully!) so could od with that model being the correct one at the moment!

I certainly wouldn't slate you but if it turns out mild I for one would be happy with that. There's plenty on here who like a mild winter. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of snow when it comes but in this country it last a day or two an it's gone anyway. I would be very happy with a big fat euro high all winter. Keeps me out on the golf course and able to carry on doing things I enjoy all year long. I f I fancy a snow fix I can quite easily jump on a flight for under £50 and go spend a day or two somewhere snowy. Get over yourself

big thunderstorm here at the moment thunder literally shook the house a couple of minutes ago - only problem is the satellite signal being knocked out and I was enjoying the golf!

ah, a fellow PH lol

I love the snow, my problem from a purely individual point of view is that I run an IT company with over 10 staff and we supply IT and support IT into schools, so when you have almost a week of every customer being shut and your paying all your staff to effectively do nothing it hurts a bit, especially having to put project work back etc. We've probably lost somewhere in the region of over 10k just since Monday, so that's why I am officially bored with the snow now!

I am officially bored of it now because it's costing me a fortune

Very Heavy snow overnight here with thunder and lightning to boot which woke me up about 6am. been drizzling since but just turned back to proper snow again now albeit quite wet snow.

Just started raining here in Berkshire, chances are that it will turn to snow later on but who knows. dis very well last night with a little more snow than the 3 or so inches on Monday, hopefully a reload of last night if it turns to snow later on but I wont hold my breath, off to bed see what happened in the morning I guess!

You need to turn the traction control off!

snowing again very hard here but very wet and certainly not settling ontop of what's here already.

chucking it down here much heavier than any we've had so far

throwing it down here - didnt expect this today!

It's most definitely wrong

Reading is always good for that - I expect it.

continuous snow here since about 11am although it's not added to any of the overnight falls in fact it's thawing faster than it settles.

Very nearly at the point where I can't see the grass poking through - not quite there yet though but looks like now according to the radar should have at least an hour or so so I'll stay up a bit longer I think

Americans really do know how to make sport dull and boring though I'll give them that, anyway back on topic it's still coming down here and is getting heavier - although having lived in Fernie for 3 years in the Canadian Rockies I could never describe UK snow as heavy!

It is now snowing - very lightly though - I'll give it 10 more minutes or so then I'm off to bed due to boredom although that's more to do with watching the super bowl than lack of snow

I seriously hope so! Been a very long time since anything decent came this way

yep missing me by literally 5-7 miles - plenty ealrier on when I was over in Ascot, jack all here and the most annoying thing is the radar shows it over me and has been - yet I have nothing other than the lightest of sprinkles.
