Well today was the 1st day of at least 3 or 4 that the temp rose above 0. I left the house at 1.30 and temp was 0.8c.

Hoping that next weekends progged low doesn't make inroads and we end up with more snow. I'm not sure that will happen but I am hoping gfs has everything too far east at the mo.

For the Cornish people on here I think we are still within a chance of seeing a flake or 2 tonight bearing in mind late last night there was an hour of light snow in st ives, a handy little weather station to keep an eye on is Perranporth currently 0.2 and dewpoint of -2.7 easily found on google under Perranporth Weather Station its based at the private airfield so its quite reliable.

[Sainsbo]

Anyone else worrying that temps for snowfall on Tuesday might be marginal compared to Fidays snowfall?

[Sungirl]

Two days out sledging! Brilliant fun!

We had a further 2cm (? ish) today. Snowed lightly all day and still snowing now, albeit very fine snow.

I am hoping that the school will be closed tomorrow, but our school staff are determined b*ggars and rarely admit defeat so I am praying for a miracle really. It would be awesome to go for the sledging hat trick

Temp got as warm as 0.3c today. We are back into minus figures now (-0.2c) so that's good

[Dorsetbred]

Net Weather gone from 80% chance of snow tomorrow right down to 0%.

And you live where?

Whereabouts are you, George?

[PompeyFC]

Went down Brighton tody snow chasing, had a good inch here snowed for the last 5 hours. What I couldn't believe was that between Havant and Chichester there was loads of lying snow still from Friday. It was obviously quite a sweet spot

As per Ian's post a couple of pages back, it looks like being more marginal compared to Friday due to "mild cores" increasing the WBFL in areas.

However, the further north you are, the safer you should be. Plus, details in these sort of situations will chop and change a lot right up to T+0.

Nah I would think you'll be OK, further south it does become questionable look at the DP's on various charts.

Painswick yeah.

[BARRY]

i'm in the city though. This is the coldest I've ever recorded.

keep on recording as i think tonight will be the coldest for a long time temps dropping like a stone here

[George]

Whereabouts are you, George?

And you live where?

Im in Newton Abbot, Devon. Met Office still showing a chance. Fingers crossed.

I take you have clear sky above, would be nice if we could get a few breaks tonight with snowcover to really bring temps down as long as it clouds again tomorrow to stop the sun thawing any lying snow.

[cerneman]

Not sure, but the one thing that is certain at t+168 hours, is that it will be Sunday 27th January and the day before will be Saturday 26th January.

Sorry alex, if fergieweather says it is an outside chance at this range, then that's good enough for me.

I don't unofrtunately own a crystal ball.

It's hard to make predictions- especially about the future

[Beast of Plympton]

Bit of nowcasting... It did feel cold outside, and I was right.... Its -5.8c here

[Brad lough]

My word it's winter in Hayle Cornwall -1 at the moment and dropping

[jessandjon]

-2 here

Holy onions

[windseeker]

The weather today as forecast really.

The sun tried to make an appearance mid afternoon, so cloud cover must be thin, temperatures should plummet now.

Maybe finally the ground will finally freeze as grass and soil still really soft under the snow, hence the thaw.

[Beast of Plympton]

Holy onions

Indeed!! Haha!!

[Rustynailer]

-0.5C here. Went to Headon warren again today, the 18 inch snow drifts and 4 inch level snow was still there unmelted, at 120m ASL it was still below freezing. The West High Down next to the Needles was still covered. Very crisp dry air I noticed up there.

It is a dry frost for now, not showing on the cars yet, beside the 75% snow cover here.
