Snow & Cold Spell General Chat Part XI

[Bobby]

Latest radar is showing a band of Heavy looking precip approaching the uk from the SW.

Whats the story with that band, is it ikely to be of snow anywhere or has the current band already introduced the milder air

If the next lot carrys on moving N/E from the SW then it will arrive in the hours of darkness so atleast the temps would have dropped of a few degress.

Regards.

That band should bring a few inches to many places tonight. No milder air here, temperature is 0.8c and dropping.

Next system hot on the heels, approaching South West England. Some of this precip is fairly heavy.

Surely thats all rain?

From what ive seen i thought if anything temps in the south are on the rise despite the sun having gone down, so i wouldnt think this would make much difference

[NorthantsSnow]

Snow has turned more sleety now, current temp 1C.

I would be surprised (and I'd love to be) to see that area approaching SW UK to bring snow tonight. The upper air temps will be too high, even if the ground temps are low.

It was supposed to be "all rain" this morning.

[shadowdragon]

Still snowing in Kidderminster.

Roads aint been gritted, even the main A roads round the town centre (2 miles from me). So for crying out loud be careful out there.

[Thundersquall]

With the precipitation band over the colder areas:

[Polar Low]

The second band will be rain.

Going from rain to sleet here.. not quite making the final transition..

[HellyHanson]

Very heavy snow here now starting to settle

[kold weather]

Closing time for this thread.

don' think so mate, above 500ft should have 5-10cm before it stops

Does anyone know if this is likely to fall as snow or rain for South Wales? Its still bitterly cold here!

[snowmadchrisuk]

the second band will be rain 100% except highlands. this 1 is touch and go. its snow here but the snow is so wet its actually helping to melt the snow cover we had

Yes they are, been watching them rise over the past few hours and we are now at +4.5 deg here in N London

But good to see others getting some snow!!!
