[The Wolf]

Light covering of snow tomorrow for some of us.

Could be quite heavy over parts of Derbyshire.

[Polar Low]

Except some lucky areas to see in excess of 10cm's even down to lower levels through this evening, overnight and throughout tomorrow. The way these showers are likely to form could bring this kind of accumulation even to lower levels- again, in those lucky spots.

Definitely a night to watch the radar.

Yeah Stockport! this setup is pants for my area, hope ECMWF is correct with this, 0r I think I will have seen my last snow for a few months

[conor123]

Winds far to westerly for anything here tonight, just as the winds turn perfect tommorow in come the mild uppers :lol:

ECM showing major snow event for this weekend however, GFS still saying a bit fat no.

ahhhh very nice! ill have a look properly before the 18z, guessing the gfs is still a million miles away from this?

[I remember Atlantic 252]

I never like gibby's summaries, always plays down cold, and seems to like mild, even if it was -20 uppers with a beasterly, all he will say is rain and hill snow

You mean he's realistic. But doesn't always say what you want to hear. I think his summaries are excellent

Well that ECM summary is not realistic at all! a lot of posters I take note of, teits, GP steve, frosty etc but not gibby

[ANYWEATHER]

Anyway a dusting of snow is likely on the Cotswolds, Malverns etc overnite....Worst case scenario covering of snow at low levels....Depends on the showers [evaporitive cooling] ......Anyway Fasinating model viewing in the next few days....

[Gord]

Just had a read of the model discussion thread. So confusing. After reading it I actually don't care what happens next week right now and may even leave it as late as Friday or Saturday before I bother looking again.

Squally showers to look forward to this week, of many different varieties. Sunshine too. It may not get as interesting as it could get around here this week but shouldn't be too dull either.

A few splats of rain during the last 20 minutes here.

Was about to comment on it myself by saying that they won't be that interesting. Although a quick hitting squally shower is still a little exciting. Really can't see us getting anything that wintry over the next 12-24 hours but a few fast moving showers would be a bit of fun.

Will be rain perhaps hail and sleet later. Unfortunately we look like being largely dry when it is cold enough for snow and wet when it is warm enough for rain.

[cold stoke]

Raining in stoke

[Polar Low]

Things looking a great deal better for North/Central Mids going into the early hours.

[Staffordshire]

If they can carry on spawning till past midnight then we would be in with a shot

[Potent Gust]

Heavy rain shower here. I agree in the early hours things could turn more interesting.

[Skyraker]

Cold rain / bit of sleet atm. Glad i'm indoors, I hate cold rain.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Was looking that way late last week. True NW'lys are becoming rarer than fabled easterlys. I don't know why it is but lows seem to be moving as such that favour W'ly winds just lately rather than NW'ly. That warmer pool of air is a right urine extraction too!

[Staffordshire]

Absolutely chucking it down here, very gusty aswell

i have a good feeling about waking up tommorow morning
