I'll be sure to let the whole world know I think!

[Skyraker]

I could be wrong, that's what the guys in the very serious model output forums have said though

They'll use either todays 00z runs or todays 12z runs for the countryfile forecast.

[Adzyy]

Still nothing.

[German John]

Still light snow here in S Brum. Radar seems to show the band weakening and fragmenting a little, can't see much from this.

[Bishop Brennan]

Can someone please enlighten me as to why, when we have SSW and a -NAO, we still get marginal snow events, which means likely rain/sleet? If we can't get snow when these systems are in place, when can we? Also it puzzles me that although we are on the gulf stream, the seas around us tend to get the snow, whereas the UK itself gets rain. Surely the waters around us are even warmer than the island, so why do they get snow and we get rain. They are in the gulf stream too!!

The effects of the SSW have yet to be felt at ground level apparently, plus this cold spell is only just getting started therefore we don't, as yet, have a deeply entrenched pool of cold air above us.

Still nothing.

Wife's just dropping daughter off at school in Rugby - rather now than in the morning !!

Right I'm bak now from watching darts final and other chores, could someone give me a general update on the current thinking for rest of tonight and tomorrow, as I have to drive to Leeds very early tomorrow morning.

Oh by the way it is snowing very very lightly here.

Thanks

[ISAAC]

4 hours of light snow.

We have just under 2cm now. Looking more seasonal out there for a change.

Thank you. So am I safe to assume that by the Spring, the effects of the current SSW might be felt?lol

[MKN]

Suppose might aswell add the report from here... Light light light snow. if it carries on then by 2014 it might be a cm deep

[Gord]

Latest radar frames have it all starting to fizzle away again. Although there's some bits and pieces starting to pop up behind it in Wales.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

yeah probably 1cm here, but white everywhere, still light snow, will take photos later, as tomorrow too late

[Coventry Lee]

Nothing yet here in Hinckley (ignore the name). Tomorrow might be fun for me. I have a meeting in Bedworth first thing, back in the office in Coventry until early afternoon, and possibly a trip to Warwick to end the day. All on public transport!

Surely all the schools will be closed after one snowflake falls?

[nats]

Def easing up/stopping here, nice while it lasted, radar not looking good, lets just hope it's not damaged the low temps too much

[ANYWEATHER]

Light snow falling in Evesham!

[Luke]

I see there's a few showers popping up that look like they could hit here.
