Going the watch the bbc forecast in a moment,this less cold air that is showing up tomorrow,been shown on the charts all week.

But tonight I`m not sure what to expect from all of this swirling low,odd snow showers now at 1.1c.

[snowangel32]

I did try to warn you. 

We will see polar its all good

[jimben]

Snowing again here

[cheshire snow]

The good news for you guys is it is snowing on the coast, infact

Looking quite good on the Southport web cam

Precip seems to have lost a bit of intensity on the latest radar?

[PolarWarsaw]

Surely its a nowcast situation now   this  low could do anything

[#windysnow#]

To be honest I think whatever snow does come thru the night will have melted by 10am tomorrow based on latest temps forecast

Love your enthusiasm mate, but that's a little mis-leading, it looks like some could do well, some may not do so! 

 

Hopefully everyone gets a bit of the white stuff!

 

I'd agree with skaky:

that looks like it just blew up out of nowhere lol

[kmanmx]

Anyone planning to stay up late for some radar watching ?  I have to be up at 7am for work, but it is very tempting...

[snowangel32]

latest radar images has it further east bham looks in the eye of the storm taken a few mins ago from the polar low thread.

[weirpig]

bbc weather puts the main snow to the west of brum

[Arnie Pie]

Looking like it may not cross over the river

[i love snow]

Hoping that explosion of precipitation over north wales will be our saviour?

[PolarWarsaw]

I'd agree with skaky:

 

 

Commonly known for massively over-egging the extent of precip though bud.

[camperstron]

I'm in brum, and am a snow lover - I think it will be a rain/sleet event for us. Temps are a bit marginal imho.

[Staffordshire]

I was having a great day until i heard the news villa have signed Scott Sinclair we are doomed. So i think you would all agree i need the polar low to cheer me up lol.

sinclair will be a great signing for us, great potential in my eyes, him and Gil will give us much more of an attacking purpose, with their pace and ball control, only way is up!

Not sure whether to stay up or set an alarm tonight

[cyclonic happiness]

Unless it changes direction, it's gonna go straight over Bristol and we may miss the best of the snow as it decays over the Welsh mountains.

 

Just make sure you don't expect too much guys!

bit dissappointed with the beeb forecast , was expecting it to be further east than that showed.

Yes, but if anything it's actually under doing the intensity of the precip over Ireland at the moment (it's got the spread of ppn fairly close to radar). The past few snow events the NMM has done well and matched up pretty closely to the radar from what I can tell. It seems to have done better then the euro4 for predicting snow in my neck of the woods atleast.

This looks more west mids than east going by the current track

[Arctic Hare]

Looking like it may not cross over the river

 

Depends which river... I'm half a mile west of the Severn here!

I'd ignore the bbc forecast right now. They're likely using data which is hours old. 

 

I'm not saying they are wrong, far from it. But it's a tricky low to predict, so there is still a lot to play for.
