Has anybody got a link to the countryfile weather forecast ? I think somebody called Terrece or something like that puts them on YouTube but I'm unable to find it.. Many thanks.

I think many of us are more annoyed over telling friend and family that it was going to snow.. I know I am! I'm hoping the front front delivers at least something!

[Alpine glow]

Can't see why my area is Included in that? The snow will just be washed away by the turgid rain and 6C!

Anyone else think its not really that cold outside for snow? Its chilly but not that cold.

Weathizard, I am completely miffed about snow in our area - do you have any idea what might occur?!

I haven't checked things out today, is the snow situation still up in the air because of the mild sectors?

The answer to this, in future:

Always quote 'the weathermen': "The weathermen are saying it might snow next week"

Then, when the (almost inevitable) downgrade / warm sector comes, just blame

'the weathermen'

See? Its not your fault!

Showers, such as they were, are starting to peter out on raintoday 5 min radar, and the prediction has changed to a narrower belt of showers, with less intensity.

Don't think there will be any lying snow this side of midnight from this little lot.

I thought that too - but then at about 1PM we did have an unexpected snow shower - albeit very light, and only graupel, but it was at least snow rather than anything else.

The thing is, the upper temps for us are actually sufficent its the dew points that are the problem, because air flow anti clockwise around low pressure systems we get a SW wind which rises dew point by 3-4 degrees. We'll probably have snow from the first weak band and it will be melted away by the afternoon as temperatures rise due to on-shore winds.

I still think areas 20-30 miles inland will get snow, due to the mornings slight snow cover affecting temps and due points.

It's frustrating that Monday looks to be a wash out especially when a few days ago we were looking at nearly a foot of snow according to some ;-)

People never learn though that they should wait until it is falling to see what it will do when it is marginal.

Sure there are times when it could be guaranteed under ideal synoptics but Monday is not one of them.

It's going to take a massive upgrade I feel for us to see lying snow Tuesday morning.

Now we look to Wednesday ;-)

[Snowangel-MK]

Not sure what to believe at present, I'm trying to stay positive but every weather site I check they all say different things. I look at all the models and and posts in here which suggest snow for north Kent. Someone please shed some light for me

Having just popped outside it does seem to have got significantly colder here in the past hour or so - don't have a weather station though, so no way of proving this.

Thanks MK hopefully it will improve so my wish of knee deep snow will be granted :0)

[The Beast From The East]

Thanks lottiekent, typical found it now

Looks a good week down here for us after Monday .

[crazy_diamond]

Please forgive the totally unscientific description, but I've been watching a bank of cloud approaching from the north of my location, out of the window, and it looks for all the world that it's slowly colliding with something up there, what looks like crumple zones are forming in the clouds!! Looks wonderful.

As I say, not the most scientific post on here!

The band over the NW is edging slowley our way--- Ideally landing around 1/2 am-

Looks like if it holds together a dusting is possible--- Isle of man gets cover & thats in the middle of the sea...!!!

Cant see a lot wrong with that Forecast, very typical of this type of weather set up and the same favoured areas getting in on the action.

[GoonerGregg77]

Feeling colder outside now. There's a snow nip now, whereas earlier strangely there wasn't.

[abruzzi spur]

Had another tiny snow flurry 20 mins or so ago. Temperature heading back down, now at +2.4c. Dewpoint still at -4.4c. hPa just starting to nudge down again, only marginally though. Sunny intervals.

[Great Plum]

Is it the colder uppers that are coming over us making it feel cooler? The temperature hasn't changed that much all day here... Is the air drier?

[Lampostwatcher]

Sunday night slight dusting

Monday could be rain now

Tuesday a few flakes in the wind

Wed snow showers for the east but that's fi now
