Staying in Braemar currently, nice covering of snow and very icy out tonight, took some pics from our journey from Kirkmichael.

A decent F.I on this mornings 6z, shows that cold/snow is possible without major HLB. This I believe is the best possible outcome with the current strong PV.

5.7c thanks

Fantastic end of Autumn for Scotland with 2 weekends running of snow falling to low levels at times and considerable snow for higher ground, this looks set to continue as we see a mix of PM/TM air alternating as we head into winter. Have enjoyed the reports and webcams from Scotland. Im staying in Northumberland for a week as of the 7th Dec and will be ready to take a drive upto Scotland for my snowfix if the opportunity arises.

A nice ground frost this morning after a low of 1.5c but currently 5c and lashing it down, a day for staying at home with the fire on I reckon. The model output is currently not for the feint hearted if you like snow

Apparently this photo will be used in the Netweather winter forecast for Jan 16

Yeh thats looks nice and deep only problem is the deepest snow alot of the time is frontal snow so chances are the next will be mild sw'erly so still not pleased

Hmm doesn't look deep enough to me, and also I can see no further showers on the horizon... roll on next winter!

Few pics from yesterday, had to sneak in Dalby Forest at the Scarborough end as they'd closed to forest to walkers and cyclists due so many trees down. First pic is as heavy as the snow got at my house with a very temporary covering. Rest are from North York moors.

Moderate snow with all surfaces starting to get covered here, looks like the moors is getting plastered, heading up there soon.

Warm sector incoming so will turn to rain across the moors in the next hour but snow showers will be imminent dawn onwards, already 4c at Fylingdales now whereas sutton bank is 0c

Yep whiteout blizzard conditions up there, decided not to head up there tonight due to work in the morning and also how dangerous it could be.

Light to moderate snow falling here but not settling currently, absolute white out across western parts of the NYM currently, sutton bank looks very dangerous!

Yes mate finish work at 12 and then heading to Dalby Forest for a walk and for a drive out on the forest roads to test the new winter tires on the Audi, will take some pictures and dashcam will be on when driving.Forecast looks great, 1c heavy snow and feels like -5c brrrr

Meto predictive charts show 3am onwards, looking good for you mate for a covering.

Looks like tonight will be a bit of a none event for my neck of the woods, possibly even rain for the hills aswell closer to the coast due to the warm sector, if the band can push further inland then I suspect snow could fall in the pennines and dales away from any sea modification. However uppers will fall as the morning progresses and convective showers will affect eastern areas and turn readily to snow even to low levels, should be some decent accumulations in the heavier showers especially in the moors and wolds. Showers will gradually be confined to coastal areas as the day progresses. Here is the met offices take on my location tomorrow and also a few charts from the latest NMM .

Warnings out for tomorrow night. Not too hopeful here but it does mention snow to lower levels at time, will be staying up tomorrow night with car and camera at the ready.

So precip looks to of increased tomorrow night and into saturday, only problem with that is we now have a pesky warm sector affecting eastern areas, this will soon clear South dragging colder uppers from the North so showers will turn readily to snow as they do. Although I'm expecting the snow level East of York to be around 200/300m overnight with sleet at lower levels, snow level will be lower further west but still unsure. Such a complex and changing setup but unfortunately its a downgrade for many in the east.

Yes mate although we were driving back from York at the time so missed it The squall line associated with it was amazing a tree came down on the one of the back roads had to take a detour.

Just had a severe squall line here, thunder Lightning and road blocked as there's trees down, crazy!!

Thats a lovely look fax chart! Not only is there a trough but I can imagine as you stated earlier with warm SST's and cold uppers there should be some nice convection, combine that with the overnight period we could have a nice white blanket Sat morning

Id say your in one of the best positions in the UK Col. Late Friday evening we see a small shortwave passing southwards and cold NNE winds will follow and likely to last around 24-36 hours varying at times but I can imagine there will be some decent snow totals over the NYM. Will be heading onto the Dalby Forest tracks on Saturday afternoon to test my new winter tires! Look forward to seeing your webcam and any pictures you may take over the weekend.

Looks better from a NH point of view, not a bad looking chart heading towards December..

6z is a beautiful run for those in the east of the Pennines could see snow pushing inland on Saturday morning and the same overnight into Sunday. When the precip arrives uppers always turn more marginal which still leaves me unsure for areas close to sea level. The only advantage is that prior to any precip with have uppers close to -10c across the region so cold air would already be in situ, of course timing is important as this night/day could mean the difference between rain/sleet/snow. Snow tires ready for the forest tracks of Dalby Forest on Saturday afternoon

Probably because the cold snap isn't showing a countrywide snow event, it does look cold for the time of year with northern and coastal areas seeing snow at times and there's still the possibility of some surprises cropping up. But and the end of the day people want snow and the majority of members are probably seeing it being a mainly cold frosty spell with a chance of snow.
