11 hours of snow finally easing off still very fine light snow falling now which will drift,it`s been drifting slightly anyway since 5.

If the winds got strong tonight and with all the snow about it`s gonna be fun, which with the next system coming in there`s going to be strong winds sometime. :blink:

How high are you Snowyowl9? What part of Powys? We have done nicely out of this spell eh?

3 hours of rain, now we have had an hour of snowfall. Weird really.. larger flakes were not settling and now it's smaller flakes and lighter snowfall it's readily settling on most surfaces. Definate temperature drop in the last hour, but I expect them to rise before the next band arrives, therefore I expect rain tommorow morning. :blink:

[snowingtequila]

Still moderate snow here, was going to drive a bit further to see what it was like higher up but the road is now closed!

I'm so envious. It rained almost none stop here from mid-day to 7pm, with a short interval between 3-4pm. Finally turned to wet snow shortly after seven, and decides to start sticking just as the band is moving away - UNBELIEVEABLE!

Edit - Whats your snow depth now?

[Costa Del Fal]

Just cloudy here now so the rain has stopped so thats good so it dosnt make the snow melt!

Will i get any snow from this second band coming?

[Snowyowl9]

Hi yes very impressive indeed,I`m 1000 feet asl but higher than that upto 360 metres on our land.

Around 18 miles east from lake Vyrnway as the crow flies. :blink:

[Cloud 10]

Moderate snow here now,should start falling to areas lower down if it gets heavier.

Another MASSIVE band of rain/sleet/snow is about to push up from cornwall, Im expecting large amounts of rain to push up from teh southwest then head NNW ( with the front actually pushing NNE )

As per normal i would expect this to steadly change to sleet & snow across many areas with lying snow already ( thus your cold enough stillf or snow )

Places that saw snow that shortly melted over the course of the day i would expect at most sleet. In theavy bursts this may fall as snow.

This front has some very intense rainfall so i would also expect soem gusts and possibly a few rumbles as it hits teh cold airmass over the UK thus pushing the cloudtops even higher, this in turn may help the rain turn to snow with the colder air pushed down!

Eitherway, This is what i think is about to happen..

Cheers

By the time the core gets here it will have broken and be just light to moderate sleet. I can't remember the last time the NE had any significant snow (4inch plus) from this type of system. We will have to wait till later in the month when the NE winds bring it.

I hope your right, but away from Wales and high ground in the Midlands it's likely to fall as rain, possibily preceeded by sleet.

tom f123 have you had rain lately? its just cloudy here now!

[Lynxus]

Yea i agree, Sleet will probably be teh main focus. However im hoping the short time between the 2 fronts ( Clear skies ) will bring the temp down low enough to help turn to snow .

Nice picture But it is like a different world up here I think I'm going to cry

[toonstriker]

Even if it did its far too wet to lie now

An Easterly is really the only time we see anything. I remember getting 30+ snow showers in the course of 12 hours, it amounted to only a few inches! To be honest I'm in a terrible location for most setups. Just to far inland for Northeasterlys, so the winter here is generally mild, and when we get cold spells it's sunsine, isolated showers, and night frosts.

[Cloud 10]

Is it settling up there?

Yes,it is settling nicely.

[garylaverick]

Can't say i ever do well from these setups

[Geordiesnow]

Yes,it is settling nicely.

Met office has actually put a weather warning for Durham so its looking good for you lot. I never expected too much from this so i'm not downhearted but very envious of the amounts of snow people got where its rarely snows.

Met office predicts more snow between 9am and 12pm of tomorrow! yay but the bad news is that it goes sleety after 12pm but its still another 6 hours of snow!
