thats good news for me then means the fetch on the flow will give the coast longer interval waves going to be sick!

There seems to be a fair amount of white stuff up there.

Hope it can make landfall. Wind has been NNW much of the day.

Not looking good at the mo ashley,

clear window for a few hours by the looks of it

Possibly all the time, although the 12z shows more in the way of precipitation tonight and tomorrow, i'm not that convinced now.

Don't think the feed is due to move to more favourable conditions till midnight onwards.

Very cold here, already below freezing -0.1c, dew point is surprisingly low at -7.c.

[Lewis]

0.9c temp with a -6 dew here, its freezing!

[NW Leeds Russ]

Some phenomenal shower activity / trough in the N Sea at present.

Someone would get a real pasing if that line ran right through them....

Certainly is becomong chilly, Lewis. I've just checked out my local weather station, and I'm getting reports of Temps at 0c with a Dewpoint of -6c.

[reef]

Yes with the skies being clear its certainly getting cold. Now 0.4C with a dewpoint of -3.2C here.

Hopefully the wind will change a bit, but as it stands it looks like its getting more of a westerly component if anything!

Looks like it's going to hit us later

Updated 12z NMM model;

Shows snow over us from 2am right until sunday more or less (obviously with dry gaps in between after 5am tomorrow morning) with more in the afternoon

Hi Reef,

I agree, i'm currently getting a SSW/NNW wind.

Very nice Given that's the NMM as well, I feel confident of that happening

[Cheese Rice]

Am surprised by the vagueness of the met warnings, "some accumulations of snow" what constitutes "some"?

To the metoffice, a dusting haha

Anyone know what the NAE is suggesting? I don't have the link on the computer I'm using at present

Hi Reef,

If the Meto's Invent rainfall predictor is reliable then we have the real heavy stuff hitting here around 9.00 and lasting through till 6am before a restbite with lighter showers tomorrow.

Can anyone explain how the showers are to push west towards us with a NNW wind? It makes me a little dubious! If it were to happen though we should be looking at a good 5cm's at least.

The showers have died off at the moment but thats not such a bad thing as the strong wind has dried the ground from earliers thawed snow and i guess that will help anything else settle.

We shall see!

[Cheese Rice]

I really hope the BBC weather graphics are true, they have just updated and show snow for much for Yorkshire from 3am-12pm http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209

You see the LP NE of Scotland?

As that swings round the gradient changes, we end up a different flow at the upper, but more or less the same at the surface. the isobars tighten and the embedded trough pushes back west.

Hope that helps.

I might be wrong, but I'm guessing that the 850/700hpa winds will have more of an Easterly component to them
