    3.7°C here now, still with 99% humidity - grrrr.... Some patches of green have been appearing over Hull and N Lincs on the NW Radar in the last hour or so in association with the heavier bursts of precipitation. Nothing sleety here yet today.

    Its going to be a slow burn isn't it? Note the heavy showers forming out in the north sea for a bit later on though.

    Not sure which Radar you are using but I was told a few years ago, and reminded this year, that the Radar colours are not an actual representation of what is happening.  It’s a combination of ppn as seen by Radar and combined with input from models such as temps, dewpoints and other factors to predict where it will be rain, sleet or snow.  I assume this is still the case...

    This info needs to be pinned somewhere. Save the endless, 'it shows snow but its still raining over me' posts

    Finding ourselves slap bang under a dry spot. The moaning southerners have stolen our snow after crying about it not being south enough last week. All those tears must have increased the moisture levels.

    Fingers crossed guys and gals we see something. Maybe have to rely on the streamer set up possibilities 

    A month ago I would have been one of those southerners! The weather always seemed frustrating down there, snow always North of the m4 etc. My only conclusion is that I’ve brought the snow shield with me. Sorry guys.

    You'll have to englighten me here?

     

    Surely careering the Atlantic low pressure system into the existing Easterly cold air would provide a nationwide snow event, rather than sending it to the North of France to retain us in an Easterly which is less likely to provide a nationwide snow event? 

    You have to remember that a low like that would bring typical Atlantic weather to the UK as the low pressure brings a milder air mass with it. Yes you might get a transient snow event at first but typical wet, windy weather would follow. We absolutely don't want this to happen if the cold weather is to stay.

    Not looking good here, although there are some 'pink' returns over The Wolds to the west. Temp now up to 2.0°C with a DP of 1.8°C. More hope than expectation overnight but, as they say, it's the hope that kills!

    The precipitation type on the radar is based on mode data, it’s not live. That’s why it will change all of a sudden or just be wrong. 
     

    Just got light rain in Hull like we’ve had for the past 24 hours.

    Just rain here outside of Hull its even snowing in Blackpool though not settling dunno what we have to do these days to get  decent snow here. Some fantastic pics in here though well done to people who have got some of the white stuff. 

    It’s been a poor cold spell for our neck of the woods hasn’t it? Tiniest sprinkle of snow on Christmas morning and just rain since
