some are saying it is tracking further north ?

It appears so, i think we can push the MetO's snow warning more north, just the general area they outlined, some southern parts will still see some of the white stuff as this system pulls down colder air from the north, if we look at the wider infrared sat, this cloud bank is quite large most of it is still out in the Atlantic, so lots more of the cloud to come in yet while the temps are dropping away,

Looking at the Radar this system has pushed as far north as Sheffield, i don't think it was meant to track that far north initially,

Goodnight, I'm off to bed now too - hopefully we will all see something white falling from the sky in the morning even if it's sleet or wet snow !

Despite ok-ish dewpoints, still only rain and sleet here. Radar isn't looking good at all either (i.e could do with more heavy precipitation for evaporative cooling)

0.3 here and sleet looks to wet for any snow to settle anyway

the front is moving too fast if this were in scotland it would magically grind to a halt and give a good dumping,

Thanks for the heads up! The raintoday radar suggests the band has intensified and widened, but is still continuing on its SE'wards track.
