i have seen thoise warnings countless times before in situations like this and woke up to plain old concrete when i opened the curtains.

i was planing a late 1 but i dont think i will be tbh. :rolleyes:

I play these occasions on merit HD and my gut tells me we could have snow in my area by 7pm tonight.

Kinder Scout clear of snow as of 3pm, went for a meal at a nearby pub overlooking the peaks and not a single snowflake fell, despite my reassurances that it was coming sometime overnight.

Met office beta site has sleet showers 9 oclock, light snow midnight, heavy snow shower 3am, and heavy snow 6am for a forecast location 0.6 miles from me and the NAE does back partially but more borderline.

The GFS overlay on the radar still has -2C uppers over my area, and some of NW England, with -4C air following closely behind. Really hoping the temperatures call fall once the colder air digs in. They've risen to 5.7C due to a lull in precipitation.

My dew point is currently hovering at around 2°C. Will this fall later on?

More rain is coming on the radar.

Yeah, colder air is still to the north of you right now. Your a touch south of where the 00z ECM had the settling snow but I wouldn't take that too seriously right now.

I'm really hoping to see some falling snow Kold. Temperature is rising fast though, up to 5.9C now :(

Dewpoint is falling though.. down to 2.9C.

Think you'll have a hard time, may get wintry later on but I'd be very surprised if you get any lying snow, even getting snow full stop maybe a touch tough given the closeness to the Irish Sea, which att his ime of year really does make a large difference.

Still confident of snowfall lying above 150M in the areas the ECM suggests, no reason for it to be wrong judging from the reports I've heard so far.

It is absolutely bitter out there with that wind, 3C and Dewpoint 0C, so shouldn't really struggle to achieve snow when the colder uppers get here!

Yeah I didn't mean to type lying snow. Must be on my mind. I edited it. :lol:

Im not convinced that many people south of the m62 are going to get more than a brief dusting to be honest but i dont think its time to give up yet, if its midnight and PPN not showing any sign whatsoever of turning wintry then might be time to call it a day.

Just had a very cold rain/hail shower! Temp 3.2c, I suspect the Irish sea will ruin mine and a few others chances for any accumulating snow, wintry showers deffo but lying snow I doubt it very much but not impossible. Perhaps above 150-200m the bottom limit for snow accumulating.

Anyone near Alston? I may have a drive over that way tomorrow if there happens to be any decent snow piling up overnight.

690ft here, with hilltop heights above 1000ft around the valley (surrounded on all sides.) Shining Tor with the Cat & Fiddle is visible off to the distant south, with Brown Knoll (offshoot of Kinder Scout) visible at the far end of the valley at 1870ft.

I don't think areas above 600ft have to worry about if it will be cold enough for snow tonight/tomorrow, it's more a case of how many showers will penetrate inland and will they die away once they get 20-30 miles inland or will they keep strength.

I wouldnt just yet, it depends what your expectation level is, we are not going to get a pasting but we could just scrape a very heavy shower with a covering.
