Im not convinced about anything too significant, though a light dusting, 1 inch maybe, the forecasts all say yes, support from GFS and NAE. Whats your altitude?

BBC forecast for tonight and tommorow looked pretty good

[Aaron]

A fairly steep drop in temperature and dew point despite strong breeze.. 3.1c and dew point 0.8c

[Snowstorm1]

2.1c now a nice slow drop hope it continues in temperature get ground as cold as possible with dew point just sub zero at -0.8c

Didn't notice that lol. Shame the temperature is rising... Up to 5.6C now! Dewpoint I think is how much moisture is in the air. At 0C the air is dry and therefore more conductive to snow.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

We could still get wet snow couldnt we at 5c?

[Snowstorm1]

Technically you can get snow at 8c but that tends to be in spring northerly setups.

5c is to high for snow, the air would cool with ppn and so it would eventually turn to snow.

It was only snow in he heavier bursts, which it what I expected. Oh well, it looks like I will have to find the snow myself if it won't come to me

[brachetthecub]

posibly some wet snow through the night i think the dury is out whether it will settle.personally i think 300m pluse is needed for settling snow but i will be delighted to be wrong.

There was a photo before the Calendar weather of somewhere up in the Pennines which showed a couple of inches of wet snow.
