Morning, even if that precip were to make it across the region it will be of rain.

Northern England thread reporting rain so we have no chance

Off to buy the Christmas tree today :-) at least the weather is more festive instead of the pi**ing rain

Have fun with tree shopping today, I do feel we may see a few flakes, no scientific reasoning just wishing!

I don't think if its raining in the north it means we wouldn't get snow, we have had temps of 10c here and its been in the 20s in Scotland! It's not always the north that gets lucky!

Beautiful sparkling frost this morning, looks so wonderfully Christmassy out there, shame it will change for Monday :(

Enjoy your weekend all!

Turned to rain, after 5 minutes: the shortest snow 'event' on record?

Literally just had about 5 flakes of snow fall from the sky. It stopped then one minute later we had 5 drops of rain...... How weird!

Thick frost here too

Not far from you and nothing here....grrr!

I know not much but I only said few flakes so would have won a bet! I know won't be 6ft of snow today but is still lovely to see even a few flakes, is a tiny taster of what's to come!

Hope its cold for the Epping Christmas market!

Exactly, me and the other half are sitting here having coffee looking out to frosted roofs and white fields. To see those few flakes just now was very festive especially as its Christmas tree shopping today.

Just reading the Northern England thread, apparently the reason why the ppn moving south is mostly falling as rain is due to a mild sector on the weak front.

A beautiful morning here. Still a little foggy and very frosty. A great start to the first day of winter!

Long may it continue this season, although its relatively slightly mild again from Monday, until the following Sunday?

First comes the snow then the rain's back: Britain covered in white as temperatures dip to -7C

  • Snow expected in Scotland - and it will spread to England and Wales over the weekend
  • Met Office warns of icy roads as frost and flooding run-off causes havoc for motorists
  • Midlands and East of England may wake to a 'sprinkling of snow'

Britain will shiver into December today as temperatures plunge. Frost will cover the country and flurries of snow may reach as far south as the Chilterns. Yesterday an icy blast blanketed the entire country as the mercury struggled to get anywhere above freezing.

In Shap, Cumbria, it was as cold as -7C (19F). Meanwhile the village of Ravensworth in North Yorkshire saw the mercury freeze at -5.8C. The first snow of winter is expected to fall this morning followed tomorrow by further heavy rain in the West. The threat of more rainfall – up to an inch – will be another desperate blow to those already struggling to recover from the floods of earlier this week.

The Met Office said it had extended its yellow warning for further ice across large swathes of the country amid the threat of more rain and sub-zero temperatures. ‘There’s going to be a widespread frost on Saturday morning across large parts of the country and a few icy stretches,’ warned Met Office forecaster Charles Powell. ‘That risk will continue. We’ve extended our yellow warning for much of northern England advising people to be aware and remain vigilant and that’ll stay in place over much of the weekend. ‘There will also be one or two showers across the Cornish coast.

‘We have a little bit of snow on the way and that clump of rain, sleet and snow will gradually make its way southwards from Scotland. ‘By Saturday morning the snow will have reached the Pennines and the North Yorkshire moors with up to 4cm falling in places. ‘It will continue southwards throughout the day but it will get increasingly weak and light. There could be a sleet or snow flurry across parts of the Chilterns.’

Forecaster Stephen Davenport of MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, added a front of rain was moving south, bringing wintry conditions with it. 'There’s going to be a mixture of rain, sleet, hail and snow showers,' he said. 'In the northern parts of the country, over the hills, there will be a 2cm to 3cm covering of snow with up to 4cm in some spots. 'There may be snow showers down the eastern side of the country. The northern areas will certainly see a covering and further south you are likely to see a dusting on the verges.' Those who brave the cold should wrap up warm, as temperatures are unlikely to rise more than 5C to 7C throughout Saturday.

And while Sunday is expected to start dry, a band of clouds moving in from the Atlantic could bring more snow in the evening - although the Met Office stressed this was likely to be 'transient' snow which would not settle. Forecaster Charles Powell said: 'Drivers may see snow flurries as they drive, but we do not expect this to settle and it should not be around for Monday morning's rush hour.'

The Met Office has urged motorists to remain vigilant ahead, while councils have stockpiled 1.3million tons of road salt and have hundreds of gritters on standby. But it is feared that standing water left by this week’s devastating floods will continue to run off the fields and verges and wash away the salt. It is unlikely to fall in any great quantity but the combination of sub-zero temperatures, further rain and snow could result in treacherous driving conditions.

There are also fears that up to an inch of rainfall could cause further damage to flood-hit areas, particularly in the South West. Among those rivers at threat are the Thames, Trent and Severn, which all remain at very high levels. ‘By Sunday morning we could see some quite heavy rain, up to an inch in places,’ added Mr Powell. ‘As that hits the cold air it will turn into snow. ‘It will last for about two hours before turning back to rain. As we go into Monday it’s going to remain pretty wet and windy with further outbreaks of heavy rain in places.’

The Met Office also warned that while temperatures would recover by the start of next week it would remain unsettled for much of December with wintry showers and further outbreaks of rain.
