Nights King

Warning still needs to translate into an actual snow event... 1 to 2 cm hardly enough for snow day though?!

Had to laugh really I watched BBC forecast friday or saturday and south and south west was going to be the snowy battleground and I stupidly let myself fall for the hope, now it is a midlands north event as always.

Needs to be exceptionaly cold to offset suns strengh now . I can't see much snow settling away from hills in west country next week just too late into the year.

20230118_091336.mp4 Well I just happened to be driving through my old village this morning at the exact time the snow arrived. 

Nice clump of showers about to get vaporised over wales

I was just looking at radar and thinking the same. Wonder if it will look that beefy once it hits the welch alps

Yes we have seen too many winters to know the outcome of tonight, even when living on hills it was a will it make it past wales event every time this sort of setup occured. Almost need more of a westerly north westwerly element to bring these showers down bristol chanel more but then it imports risk of it just being sleet for most of us without exceptionaly low 850's. We never know though maybe some will pep up once they get past wales with some presently un-forecasted convergence zone setting up. One can dream.

Welch Henry at it again perhaps?

Will any make it over the welch mountains though...

I rekon eastward extent over exagerated to cover backside and it will be hit and miss showers running across west of region while welch hills suck up the rest on the eastern flank of warning. I am in wells tomoro helping uncle move into house so ill see if any has fallen at least.

Snow warning area 20 miles to my west On closer inspection it is about 10 miles

Met office text under forecast says bands of snow maybe moving east tonight but I just cannot see it? Tonight: A mostly dry evening, but wintry showers in Cornwall with these moving east overnight. Longer periods of sleet and snow may develop in places, perhaps giving some slight accumulations. Cold. Minimum temperature -2 °C. Tuesday: Wintry showers or longer spells of rain, sleet and snow clearing during the morning. Turning drier and brighter by the afternoon. Feeling cold, especially in the breeze. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Looks a little further north than expected too?

All rain for now but as it pivots and interacts with cold air in night it may change.

Time for change but looks like only a few will see snow this week if lucky.

Happy wet new year all and may 2023 finaly bring most of our region some proper snow.. Couple of channel lows, is that too much to ask for.

-9c here in bradford thius morning and -1c max today. Work place was -12.1c this morning on edge of salsbury which was fresh but thery have around 2 inches laying snow.

If you head over towards your old house and east mendip area they got a decent covering of snow too which looks as fresh as day it fell, looks stunning. All melted in bradford bar a couple of frozen bits on grass.

Mine shows the same thing but I think it is just radar noise floating around up here I certainly not seen a flake so far.

Impossible.... I beg to differ I shall predict it goes to the south of both of us and we get nothing. playing radar back and forth to me it looks like it is in forecasted place with just a lot of radar noise getting our hopes up.

Northern france looks like the sweet spot..

There seems to by some light ppn building up around west country os this just radar noise or something else?

I might actually see it at work on edge of salsbury plain in morning 10 miles north east correction and i could be in game..

Looking great for you fk! id like to see another 30 mile push north though

You look very well positioned fk. Your right I have seen these forecasts go very wrong just few hours out and end up in south wales so I just hope we see a few flurries break through into wilts just maybe
