p.s I will have a more in depth look tommorow morning once I see the overnight data ; )

Great! and please include us in barnsley south yorks!!

[Winter Warmer]

any showers today when the wind changes?

[Mark Bayley]

For the past couple of runs the GFS has also shown another area of precipitation pushing North. Looks a bit marginal but would probably good for West and South Yorkshire, and those with decent altitude.

Any sign of a thaw taking place? It's ok here with no hint of a thaw and very light snow falling once again.

No hun no thaw at the moment, feels raw out there.snow should still be here for a top up tomorrow night.x

[Harsh Climate]

Good summary HC, I think the BBC are not being bullish enough with their forecasts, pretty much all models indicate the PPN reaching the Pennines.

Yes just look at yesterday, how late was they in putting an amber warning out for north east england. Some areas near newcastle got a good 6 inches in just a few hours.

Also for us sunday/monday, just watch for where any snow streamers set up, if you get under one, 1" of snow can turn into 4/5" in just a few hours ; )

I heard they had cancelled it for Lincoln due to lack of interest and are sending it to S Yorks instead.

You been watching snow porn again??? I here Its going to stall over Lincoln and drop a good few inches at my back door.

This is certainly something to keep an eye on. With this event it will probably pay to be inland a bit.

Great! and please include us in barnsley south yorks!!

Haha will do mate.

The ECM shows something similar, and is less marginal. Whatever happens there seems to be plenty of snow opportunities as we head through the week

Nope

[Aaron]

Uh oh, I can hear dripping off the roof. Icicles are forming though, so must be below freezing.

[ITSY]

only 3 of the 06Z GEFS ens do not give West Yorks snow. It was 4 last night. Still time to go tits up though - as well as time for upgrade

[Machu Picchu]

Seems to be intensifying over the Dales.

[rdt123]

Any ideas what left these? Its in a forest, glove there for scale, a bit off topic but snow related and driving me mad. At the minute am thinking velociraptor

[Machu Picchu]

METO removed the last heavy snow for 3pm, but on the plus side they added heavy snow for 6am and from 3pm Sun to 3am Mon solid.

It wont come off but it gives hope. Still shnizzling here and -1.0C.

Hoping that the GFS is wrong for early next week. I don't mind the idea of a breakdown to milder weather at the end of the week but I don't fancy a few days of sleety stuff, slowly thawing slush and ice, and the media telling us about us having a welcome respite from the dreadful weather. If UKMO/ECMWF verify then it should remain snowy until the end of our cold spell.

1.2oC here

still plenty of snow but certain areas dripping and melting also

noticed the wind albeit very slight has gone more NE

[sparky1972]

slow thaw here, car clear, patio turning slushy, certainly wont all be gone today, very fine snizzle in the air

[Mellis]

No thaw here, not got above freezing since Tuesday.

[4wd]

It's +0.7 here but you can't see melting except on metal objects.

It has snowed lightly almost continuously so far, but it is frozen bits not proper flakes.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Overcast here- we are clearly on the southward edge of the dividing line between the instability/North Sea convection and stable dry cloudy weather with stratocumulus, with some light snow flurries but nothing major. It's up at +1.3 here but the dew point remains below zero and consequently there is very little thawing. Managed to get a couple of snowmen built this morning!

[sparky1972]

do we expect to see met office warnings today about tomorrows possible snow?

oopppssss just seen the yellow warning for snow, i thought it was just an ice warning
