Just had a little look out side and things are starting to get going! Heavier snow now, although very wet at the moment. If the Temps continue to fall that will change.

Yes sweetdream, not far, but enough to make a difference sometimes. Temps still very marginal at the moment for what I call 'proper snow' although I make it 1.9C now with a -1.95 Dewpoint - so we are slowly getting there!

Must be very local then, here in St Ives only very wet light snow! I'm not holding out much hope for anything great here tonight. Radar showing moderate ppn here - not happening in the real world though.

I think that could be because we have little altitude here - I'm 39ft about sea level, great.

Yes, seems to be getting colder from the SE - interesting to see snow in Milton Keynes, AND a lot colder than us - strange? Is there any elevation in MK's

We have ice rain here in St Ives, Temp dropping fast, so I expect wet snow sooner than later!Hope the colder air in the SE gets it's skates on. Seems to be alot warmer here Temp 2.9C Dewpoint 1.52 and falling.

Don't trust the radar tonight, it's showing light snow over my area, and we are having a blizzard right now!

Rain very sleety here still, and the wind is getting up, don't know the Temps as the St Ives Weather Station is down. Sure picks it's moments!

Some great posts here tonight concerning marginal situations - great for learning. I think it's a fascinating event, maybe the cold air is not completely done yet?

Ok, there is some very heavy showery looking ppn coming our way later. It could be that if Temps stay marginal overnight this heavier stuff could fall as snow due to the volume of heavy ppn. That's my possible explanation!Thanks guys, I was trying to say Evaporative Cooling

Getting heavier now - if you look at the radar we are both on the edge of a big area of moderate ppn, you are closer than me !

Struggling to get any decent snowfall here, St Ives Weather Station has also crashed, so I can't check the Temps - but I'm sure it's rising.

Looks like the warmer air is flooding in quicker than the ppn

A bit worrying to hear that it is raining in Leicester! These marginal events are so difficult to forecast, some areas get a dumping and others get rain/ sleet. I think altitude will play it's part tonight for those that are higher up. Also, if the air is warmer in the atmosphere it will rain at freezing on the ground! Snow blowing around and Temp of 0.1 Dewpoint -4.34

Gonna be a late nite - but worth it if everything verifies. Who knows how long it will be until the next time, maybe I can get stuff done when normal weather resumes

Wouldn't it be great if the whole system stalled over our region tonight, and we all woke up to heavy snow in the morning with the cold air still in place StuieW - snap, great minds think alike.
