Area coming in from france looks interesting.....turning to snow?

I'll go look out the window and let you know, but I must warn you, I think the reason I can't hear rain is because it is dry at the min.

[lottiekent]

Please don't look at that, it's rubbish.

Ah, I know..just a bit of fun. My NW Extra subscription ran out two days ago, I think this snow risk is just a ploy to get another £3.49 out of me

[Snowangel-MK]

It's been snowing wet sloppy stuff here for ages and not sticking so I'm 50/50 at the moment on waking up to a white scene or a slushy mess - I'm certainly not staying up to watch my lamp post all night !

Temperature 1.1 °C

Dew Point 0.2 °C

[WillinGlossop]

Temp 2c dew -0.2c ouch marginal? Nothing falling from the sky but puddles out there from earlier

[Mark Neal.]

Yup, a slushy mix on the car here. Some wet flakes a while back has eased off now... Temperature 1.8c Dewpoint 1c.

Yellow Warning of Snow for London & South East England :

Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Greater London, Kent & Medway

Yellow Warning of Snow for East of England :

Bedford, Cambridgeshire, Central Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Luton, Norfolk, Peterborough, Southend-on-Sea, Suffolk & Thurrock

A slow-moving band of rain, sleet and snow will continue to affect many central parts of the UK during Saturday. Further significant snow accumulations are likely on hills, with continued drifting and blizzard conditions in the strong southeasterly winds. At lower levels, some areas could see 5-10 cm of snow, though details on locations most at risk remains very uncertain at this stage.

The public should be aware of the continued risk of significant disruption.

This updates the warning issued earlier on Friday, reflecting the increased likelihood of accumulations of 2-5 cm of snow on higher ground around London and Kent during Saturday, and some temporary accumulations of 1-2 cm at low-levels.

A frontal system remains slow-moving across central and northwestern parts of the UK during Saturday, again giving some significant snowfall, particularly across high ground. The risk of disruptive snowfall looks to spread further south and east across England than on Friday, though in these areas conditions will be more marginal for snow, with perhaps rain and sleet becoming more prevalent at times.

I am not a fan of yellow snow warnings...

[tight isobar]

Sums up winter IMBY 2012-13, certainly not expecting anything different this time now we are in spring!

On a personal note, I think the lack of Steve Murr's posts this time around in this thread sum it up for this little neck of the woods... no chance of any form of settling snow. Roll on warmth (hopefully in 2013!!)

well would have to disagree to apoint, i hold mr murr,s interactive knowledge in high regards.However with current apply and/or develop,i would have to suggest,regardless of the current viewing outside your abode, there is with ad again current evolve ample for the unexpected(in snowfall etc) to take some with suprise...to say the least...and fully expected the fruition.(at least for many). :-0.

settled cm or so outside on grassy and car surfaces. lets get it on!

edit: in all seriousness, anything from only a couple of cms to 10cms is possible for MBY tomorrow, so we'll keep our fingers crossed and look outside and the radar. thats the only thing for it now really.

And that means in grammatical English? Or am I exposed to an irony that has gone over my head?

[Jax]

I sponsor the Rare Breeds Trust, might get them to add spring and summer to their list.

Are you in Cambridge or Leeds when you posted that?

[Mark Neal.]

I think what T.I meant was that she likes steve murr knowledge and informative posting, and that we can expect the unexpected, just putting it more poshly lol

[blackprince]

or the alternative version......

I wondered who did the BBC charts lol

[Sno' problem]

Nick Miller on BBC News 24 just said for Saturday late morning/afternoon: "For London, we are going to see a spell of snow into the afternoon which could see some temporary accumulations".

Slowly seeming to get better for snow for us Londoners!
