I can confirm snow grains are blowing in the wind in Witney.

A surprise to say the least. Have now been tasked in trying to find the kids sledge!

As I live on the east coast at Harwich I thought it would be fair to report to others that snow has just started here, just light and possibly a shower. Air temp has just fallen from 1.5c to 0c in 15 minutes

The ppn on the radar has come in at the perfect place for leicestershire . I know my own situation really well in leicester and we could well have a covering by lunchtime. This is an amazingly unstable airflow as if you watch the radar, ppn is just appearing out of nowhere . The snow showers are also popping up much further inland than I thought at this stage . I wish that low for tomorrow would clear off , Leicester can do perfectly well in this situation without it.

I have to drive to collect my daughter from near Tamworth this afternoon.

My understanding had been snow would not start to fall until this evening, am I likely to see showers this afternoon on my drive?

If so, enough to give a covering? Or nothing to worry about?

I've noticed precipitiation heading inland already...

I don't think I necessarily have more knowledge than you, but have been looking at charts and reading forums with intense interest this winter. I really think its coming and we will see a covering. Fingers crossed. I don't start work till 2pm tomorrow so may well be up late tonight and will post if it starts snowing in the night at the mighty Locks Heath!

Fatherof2, the best snowfun I ever had was in Dovercourt, spending Xmas with my grandparents in the 70s/80s. 2 foot!!! Never see anything like that down here.
