It's getting nearer! :lol:

2240:

2140:

Trouble is TS is that big 'blob' out of London is forecast to head sw towards IOW. Still think we'll miss any snow tonite. The BBC24 forecast now is confirming that, but tom eve looks better than earlier today.

But Sky News just now still goes for northward progression and not much westward movement :blush:

How come it's forecast to head SW, when the radar sequence shows the shower cells moving somewhere between W and WSW?

I think this is the problem with FutureRadar, it seems to incorrectly guess the direction showers are moving by about 22.5 degrees.

Weather is now already News-worthy. Just looked on BBC News 24 now.

Peter Gibb seemed to be upgrading the forecast from what he told the reporter.

Mate i'd love it to hit here. Isobel Lang on Sky news right now is saying tomorrow eve's event will go north out of London, not much westwards. Beeb says westward...i'll think we'll just have to wait and see now.

Oh no!! Me and the wife are travelling to Torquay Friday morn for a weekend break!!

Nothing expected tonight only for Mid/East wales, maybe some snow showers there. Drier for us. Showers are forecast to get heavier for us monday afternoon/evening. Best bet it to go to bed :unsure:

Get the snowmobile ready!

I don't want to get carried away, because they probably have a 5% chance of coming often, especially given its the wild 18z pub run, but if they did come offf i think i would faint! :unsure: :o

Anyone know the record min for Wiltshire? :o

This show's what snow was falling in the nw of england about 45 mins ago, now moving towards the north wales coast.

Very light snow now falling here, most of the heavier stuff will miss the coast by the looks of it.

A small glimmer of hope maybe: Met Office updated their forecast maps at 11.19pm and Devon now has heavy snow showers for Tues AM. I am still really fearful that we will not see a single flake from this amazing weather!!

".... and then the snow moving into the North, Wales and the South West of England".

Nice way to end the forecast on BBC News 24! :D

All the anticipation of this snow event is killing my nerves, i gonna be a wreck by tomoro evening. i work outside but i am gonna be cloud spotting all day in hope of a shower. Then if it does turn up there is a nice drive home up into the mendips which would be intresting to say the least. shame we cant get some tonight and in early hours to stop me getting out of the village :D

A new snow streamer (let's call it the Colchester Streamer?) has developed to the north of the London Streamer.

This band seemed to be heading almost directly west along the wind, before radar broke down.

I think it will fizzle out until we just get an odd flake in the early hours. If i have to unleash my car scraper i'll be surprised! :doh:

Either all showers have suddenly vanished, or the radar has broken :o

Met office radar is fubar too. This maybe the time to get some sleep.
