Rain today forecasting rain today for me , between 2.5mm to 6.5mm of it, will that fall as snow?

Couldnt sleep lastnight for excitment and woke up to what had fallen yesterday nearly a cm.

Snowed lightly for the last 10 mins. Just stopped. My guess is that band has started to move west away from our region...

99% certain to be snow I reckon

[Backtrack]

Hope the front doesn't stall for another 40 mins or so. This will enable us to be on the receiving end of a right dumping. Seems to be going well so far, as per the GFS.

Yes.

I don't see that on the radar. There is some intermittent light stuff ahead of the main front that is the remnants of last night's mini front!

[toccylad]

Really coming down now

[Iceaxecrampon]

Its not really a snowless place here, infact I got 2cm of snow here from overnight.

Yes the GFS 12z yesterday and then the 18z both took the LP centre North into Ireland which then took the PPN North - I didn't expect the GFS to be wrong at that range.

Just started here , spot on backtrack seems 2 hours early so I am cautiously optimistic now, Belfast is the no snow zone not us

[snowdrifter]

Light snow in leyland
