I think you've hit bulls eye today OON ! Area of PPN starting to slow it's southerly track now I think, beginning to pivot ready to head on a more SE track. W. Yorkshire might just strike lucky (if it stays as snow)

Light Snow just starting to fall on the western side of the Yorkshire Dales.

Hoping for some nice Snowdrifts like we had in Feb 2005.

Cheers,

Chrissy.

[Guest Shetland Coastie]

Just had a shower of snow, this was heavier than the showers we've had earlier, a good sign perhaps?

[stormforce 10]

very heavy falls of snow in the west of ireland. :unsure:

[milkmaid]

snow here i'm sure cookie will post pics if he gets home from work in daylight hours ,it's getting heavier and looks beautiful

[WS Evolution]

Wet snow now falling 8 miles north of York. Keeps turning from snow to sleet, but was rain about 30min ago.

[Roady]

nothing but hail here in Liverpool!!!

blody heavy though

cant see us getting snow!

[M'Lady]

Which part of Liverpool are you in Roady? I've got a snow shower here in Waterloo.

[Zenarcher]

Still snowing here at the moment.

Heavy snow in Inverness, temperature plummeted overnight from around 7'C (due to the warm sector I believe) to around 0-1'C. Snow stopped for a time with skies clearing, however darkclouds are moving in once again and any sign of a clear-up is now diminishing. Quite a fierce wind, bitterly cold to be in it.

[Storm Animal]

Well, I made some reference yesterday at getting my bermuda shorts out, in protest of the snow concentrating itself to the east, however.....the blizzards have started here recently, temp 0.8oC, so may stick to the long johns for a wee while longer! hehe :unsure:

[SP1986]

snow shower, but wet and not a chance of settling

[mountain shadow]

very heavy falls of snow in the west of ireland. :unsure:

Couldn't send it North East could you?

Any ideas why the forecasts and models went wrong for NI? I thought we were prime position, i.e North Westerly winds, low upper air temps over a relatively warm ocean, numerous troughs on Meto charts, 60% risk of severe weather from Meto, GFS precipation charts and snow charts, it all looked great?

[davehsug]

heavy soft hail shower here in stoke, turning to snow now. Looks like the line of showers from the irish sea just getting here

Spalding Lincolnshire is just having its first snow shower.

Now snowing quite heavy (flakes not very big). Sky has totally greyed over gone quite dark, almost looks like winter.

Does'nt look like settling yet, but at least were seeing some snow which nowadays is a minor miracle for Spalding.

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

Had a snow shower with some hail mixed in at 15.20.

[davehsug]

Shower just finishing now. looks like thick high cloud behind it. Could be overspill from the trough giving the stuff further North. If it is I suppose it'll kill off the showers until it's cleared away east.
