Moderate snow shower this afternoon at 2pm which I didn't expect. Otherwise a bitterly cold day with a strengthening wind that has been blowing the lying snow about. It has now gone very cold and still, expecting a low temp tonight

high today -1.0c

current -2.9c

DP -5c

very cold day and even the light breeze is making it feel bitter, frost and snow remained second ice day in a row now.

our next chance of snow will be when the easterly picks up, its looking even colder towards the weekend with a renewed blast of -10 or lower 850's from siberia.

-2.3C now apparently but theres still water dripping from the gutter so it cant be right!

Dont forget the sun would of warmed the roofs today, thus melting the snow on the bottom layer, the surface temperature of the roof is most likely still above 0c.

Definitely one to keep an eye on - looks fairly substantial to me. Will check out next bbc24 forecast to see if it gets a mention.

It does look a potent bugger doesn't it, is it forecast to track south?

Temp here -3.8c with a dp of -6c. Max temp today was 2.7c @ 13:22.

Gonna get very cold tonight!

my garden thermometer reached 2.4c but i discounted it due to the suntrap that is my garden (even though the sensor is shaded on a fence), but my car thermometer never got above -1c , and when i left work at 3.30 it was -4c at Red Rock (between Aspull and Standish )

It is -3c here alrady!

The cloud to the north/northwest of Scotland is associated with a little system that will affect parts of Ireland tomorrow. It is not expected to come here.

I think we will stay dry and bittely cold till the weekend. Then snow showers should affect us from the east.

Some forecasts have shown more organised snow coming into NI tomorrow - could be that area as it would appear to be tracking too far west for us in the NNE wind.

The low forecast to clip East Anglia tomorrow evening is shown on the sat picture too, along with a little disturbance to its north, off Norway. That seems to be the origin of the streamer coming into Northumberland. A small convergence zone between NNE and ENE winds could develop as the low moves in pulling winds esaterly for a time in EA and move down the line of the streamer. This happened with the first low of the cold spell on December 17th/18th and gave eastern parts of the region their first dusting of the cold spell.

All eyes now onto Sundays snow event, the MetO have a yellow alert. Could do with another 20cm, on top off the 20cm I already have. On a serious note, if this produces another major snow event, we might be looking at the charts for something milder! :girl_devil:

A Heavy snow shower just passed here at 5.45, with a bit of luck it may make it to the west coast around preston.
