Sadly, we are running out of precipitation now.
If you look at the radar, the top half of the front is starting to pivot, and once it gets to a certain point it should move due south back over us. It's a gamble, but this is still 1000X better than last year (for snow I mean :-D)
Has been rather a boring winter so far, last winter we at least interesting watching all those storms move in every other day.
Well, still two months left of winter and even 3 if you class march :-)

Some heavier stuff heading towards us now, hopefully the evaporative cooling should be enough to turn it back to snow.
Just our luck we lose the precipitation just as the colder uppers get here lol
-
The snow will move back in so long as we keep precipitation going.
I've drawn a map of where the snow is atm and what direct it's moving (approx)

No thaw for you mark? The snow on cars is starting to seep here
Thawing here atm, but it's getting colder again.
-
Back building is starting to get going over towards North Wales, I wouldn't give up hope yet, thing can develop out of nowhere like in 2012.

Hopefully that colder air tucked in behind that Low Pressure system will ensure some sleet and snow starts ganging up on us again. Especially with the wintry shower chances tomorrow.
The fax chart has a decaying occluded front across the west Midlands. so, fingers crossed ay? :-)
-
Back to graupel here again, a good sign :-)
-
It'll come back, we're not in that much of a warm sector for long, the stuff to the northwest will start to wrap around the low and head this way.
We can still get a few more cms out of this 'event' :-)

Meh! heavy rain here now melting all the snow we've had.
Hopefully the 'hook' of the low will drag the upper air temps back down as it passes S/E .
Still, it's broke the duck of not having any lying snow for a whole year lol
-
At 1cm here now and folk are starting to skid about on the roads.
I think the 400ft we are here is just tipping in our favour.
-
Has completely stopped here now. A real shame it didn't last longer but we've been lucky here as there is a good covering of snow out there.
Looks like some bits and pieces could come through this evening...and maybe some quite heavy snow looking at the radar. After that, I can see it turning very icy indeed overnight.
Bad luck to those in the West Midlands who didn't get much snow....if only it could have stuck around for longer.
Nope! just wait for round 2 to start :-)
-
less cold tomorrow, definite rain at low levels
Really? the charts are showing a max of 5'c today and 1'c for tomorrow and the uppers are fine?
-
Actually, tomorrow's charts indicate there may be another area of snow showers/toughs coming from the north/northwest. This is one of those unexpected amazing things we get every so often like in 1991 :-)

The hook of the pivot is over Pembrookeshire atm, it's this that should drag more snow in from the west.
I think there's another trough coming down for early tomorrow morning too?

Same here, getting on for a CM already and the roads covered readily, even though they'd been gritted (salt's washed off)
Very wet snow too, sticking to everything (powercut snow)
-
There's an app you can get on your phones, called 'Netweather snow radar' or something, it shows where the rain is turning to sleet and thence, snow. Quite handy!

Would love to see a covering of snow which lasts, rather than the mush we usually get, and just one day out too ('just' missed Christmas day itself!), still after last year, we deserve a decent blizzard!
Noticed a few showers getting through the Cheshire gap, are they rain still atm?
-
Owww, textbook battleground followed by undercut coming up me things on the GFSP :-)
At least I'll go to bed happy, just hope Santa brings some lovely weather over the next few days and 'merry Christmas to you all' :-)
+198 on the GFSP shows a hurricane storm just off the coast of SW" Ireland, we can forget it at this point :-D

It looks to me as though this "storm" is getting less and less each run.
The latest FAX chart for Saturday midday has it centred over the Low Countries at 995mb, it was 984mb off the Norfolk Coast at the same time in the previous FAX chart.
Really must be the most bazaar period of forecasting that has been in the last 10 years? I still have no clue what it's going to be like in 5 days time, well, maybe high pressure, but nothing after that.....it's like the good old days again :-)
-
Anyway....can we go towards the models and away from character assassination please?? It's Christmas after all :-)

A
annoying thing about the 2010 winter is that this area got no snow at all for 90% of the spell.lol. Yes doubt we will ever see a Nov/Dec like that again but shawly we are due a big January/Februrary sooner or later : )
You want depression come and live in North Warwickshire.
we miss all interesting weather here, save maybe thunderstorms.
-
Well, we can be safe in the knowledge that a year without snow is extremely unusual and rare, ecen rarer than winters like 2010 and 1981.
So the chance that we have another totally snowless year is so remote it's not even worth betting on.
Still, if I put a large enough bet onto it being snowless, it would rival 1947 due to sod's law :-D
Perhaps we should all bet on a snowless winter, we cannot lose :-D
-
Well i'm in pessimistic mode today.
To my relatively untrained eye i'm beginning to see a repeat of last Winter looming - raging zonality with an occasional visit from the azores high for the far south.
I could accept another winter like last year, at least it wasn't constantly teasing us with major cold spells like this year.
If it's gonna be a repeat, then would the charts please, please, please, just get on with it and show mild.
At least I won't be wasting my time scanning over hundreds of pages of data to try to find that glimmer of winter which we seem to have lost for almost 2 damn years by now!

i mentioned yesterday that this winter is shaping up to be one of frustration for cold/snow lovers as real potential appears to be failing to get past first base. that has been the pattern since early november when the first shot at a colder evolution raised its head. this might be the theme all winter, because no matter how a seemingly elequent or apparently well reasoned a case for a colder evolution has been made.... it doesnt appear to be happening this side of the new year.
I think it's because we actually enjoy a good old ramp, I know I do. Because 99% of the time anything shown in the charts other than mild, doesn't come off.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, in fact it makes it a better place for it.
We all live in hope of something we can never achieve, even you, but without those dreams, we may as well be dead.

There is some back-building going on in the Irish sea near Blackpool, maybe it will prolong the 'event'?
I really hope we have at least one day where I can go for a walk in the snow without that dreaded 'drip, drip'.
