Interesting - I have heavy snow forecast from 11-4pm today. Anyone else have that? Literally just changed to that in the past 5 mins.

I have something similar for my location on the BBC website - but nothing on the MetO website and nothing on the radar. That BBC website tends not to be very reliable, as Bobbydog says - much better off watching the radar.

however, i don't want to pee on your snowman but, i was up at 5 am this morning and this never happened-

I have just looked at NAE, NMM and UKMO and they are all singing form the same song-sheet, so another good chance (and it's coming from a different direction this time)

Well old Mother Thames is throwing something at us atm, albeit light but it is a wintry mix of graupel, ice pellets and sleet at the moment, I am amazed by the temperature down here though at 1.4c, was not expecting that today must admit!

Shrimper those temps you put up earlier still say way too close too marginal for my liking as well.

850's From France of -4c is Marginal

Dewp of 0c to -2c is very close to going wrong as well.

As i say will pass judgement until later tonight or early tomorrow but still have not been pulled into the "definately" camp just yet.

830am radar show the precip growing in the perfect area just off the crouch and blackwater estuary but atm is very light and patchy!

Quiet day I think. The calm before the madness of tomorrow.

34 % chance of more snow for my area tomorrow , does that also mean 66 % chance of rain or or 66% chances of no precipitation?

1.1c/-4.3c here and pellets/sleet...

Perhaps still a bit of residual warmth left from last nights front?

Hopefully that will mix out a bit as the wind kicks up from the EENE.

I must admit I am growing a tad concerned re; tomorrow as well.

Any shift west and we are in trouble.

Interesting if you go to the XC Weather wind observation maps here

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/GB/observations

West country/Wales etc showing colder current temps than us further East....assume thats due to heavy snowcover?

Also still no change in the MetO warnings re tomorrow, yellow ice warning and only small section of the East with any snow warning. This suggests there isn't a lot of confidence in snow potential.

I suspect they will update later to show a somewhat wider area but they are probably quite sensibly holding their horses until the detail is firmed up somewhat. Certainly the forecasts on BBC News Channel suggest this is likely to happen, anyway.
