Snowing here now with large flakes at temp of 2c and dp of 1.5c

Winds are still coming from the SW but the cloud height temp must be cold enough.

There is hope for all.

Started to snow again here. Tranquil falls with hardly much wind, but nice flakes and sticking with ease to the already couple of cm's lying snow. Ties in with the little blob of pink on the rain today radar.

I for one am hoping that none of this precipitation falls as rain for anyone...for the simple reason that it would result in sheer chaos and possible carnage once it re-froze before tomorrow morning. Frankly I am getting pretty much sick to the back teeth with rain followed by sub zero temps and sheet ice having already experienced the results more than once since before Christmas.

As for the Met O's latest warnings...yes I'll credit them issuing them for icy roads...good call...BUT!

Issuing warnings for 1-3cms of snow???? Utter nonsense!

When it snows like this with no wind it's my favourite time, we can get much bigger flakes and when it accumulates the depths always look more impressive to me.Plus it all settles on the trees and looks magical!

I know - pretty amazed myself - it was 2.3c when it started and has since fallen to 1.7c and dp 1.3c

As I was saying, my winds are showing from the SW, so there must be a very low level layer of warm air but colder immediately above.

Flakes are big, but at the rate they are dropping it seems that they must be rather wet. Still sticking though and not melting except slightly on the cars.

Agreed. It all looks very picture postcard when it snow heavy with not much wind. Wind can give drifting which exagerates snow depth in places, leaving other spots virtually swept clean lol

Well you're not the only one! :lol: It is excellent though, I was able to say to my parents earlier "it's going to snow in five minutes" and sure enough it did :D
