Friday is beginning to look like it could be a very interesting day for parts of Wales, Midlands, N Eng in particular and Scot.

Yes high risk again from Friday

[tynevalleysnow]

If the gfs snow risk for friday and saturday we could be in for a dec 2010 event

Moderate snow now falling in Newton Aycliffe.

I still think the models are overdoing how far north the lows will get, but even if they are we will stay in the freezer with a greater chance of an easterly in my opinion. Those more knowledgable than me in the strat thread seem to believe we are in for a lengthy cold spell in late January and February, with NE'lies being mentioned - always a good sign for the NE!

Moderate snow now falling in Newton Aycliffe.

Nothing here yet but all the sun has been replaced by snow looking clouds

[Alex95]

Still snowing moderately here, I thought the shower was going to be brief!

[recklessabandon]

noticably colder now than at 9am.....the softer wetter snow in Durham is now freezing onto the hard surfaces.....going to be a mess tonight when the temperatures nose-dive as suggested. still snowing steadily though in the city.
