The snow risk forecast on here (based on the 06z GFS) shows a foot of snow on Friday for my area. I know these tend to move around but it's only 3 days away and wherever this hits is going to see a serious amount of snow by the look of things.

I agree! This must be tracked over the next few model runs to see if it stays the same.

This has the potential to be MASSIVE, the positioning of the PPN will probably change slightly but as it stands the Midlands is in for something substantial.

Blizzards I know it seems like I do this often... But I highly doubt that band of PPN is going to reach Worcester. the models show that it is going to move Westwards and stall over the far West of Wales and in the Irish sea.

Tipping down with snow again. :D

The council obviously haven't noticed as even the main roads haven't been gritted. Trailor carrying hay bales has spilt its load all over the road in Sherborne-St -John and a lorry jackknifed on the main Tadley- Basingstoke rd. Daft really all for the want of a bit of salt/grit. :D

Is there seriously going to be a snow event friday into saturday?? I just dont want to get excited about another batch of very heavy snow and then it doesn't happen! lol :D

Notice on the BBC there is hardly any precipitation on saturday, but huge snow risks from netweather...

It could all change, but at the moment it looks quite promising according to the 06z GFS :D

I can and will change slightly between now and Friday but as it stands there is a snow risk for the Midlands. Little changes in positions of the low pressure, cold upper air and precip will be key in where it ends up, next 24 hours model watching is huge.

snow is likely to effect from midlands north and east but this is subject to change it looks like winter is or snowy atleast is over for here all snow has now gone rain is falling.

there is nothing in the models to suggest a revisit from our friend the snow here in southern england but all i hope is that we have a cold febuary where ever it snows.

Well, blow me down with a feather! Heavy thaw in Southampton, gutters dripping, roads black, temps above 2C and then it starts to rain :lol:

The rain has turned to thick snow! Way to go!!!!

Well the Welsh snow has made it over the border to England! It's snowing in Herefordshire and Shropshire — good steady snow.

Still chucking it down in Soton - all the tarmac is now white again! It's a bit wet (more what we're used to!) but to have it over three days is very unusual.

Temp 1.4C and falling, dew point 0.8 and falling.

How is your snow cover? Any thaw yet? I have a sneaky feeling we may get a snow shower or two through today.

Great news Kate! especially the falling temps as I was worried about this lot turning to sleet/rain.. send it this way please.
