Other areas will be largely dry until a more organised area of light snow moves southwards during the early hours of Sunday morning. Accumulations of 1-2 cm are possible, with perhaps 5 cm on some high ground, mainly in the north and west. Icy patches are likely.

I think the BBC forecast will update its graphics this afternoon. I could be wrong, hopefully I'm right. We'll see.

I think the meto have got it wrong to put is back in a warning for snow, i know they're the experts but i just cant see it, i'll be happy to be proved wrong.

[robbo88]

on the summary for tonight mentions showers around coasts. so i wont hold my breath.

Tonight:

 

Perhaps a little further sleet or snow, particularly towards western coasts, but generally dry with clear spells tonight.

this is gfs for tonight tho!

[Day 10]

Just logged in for 2 mins to see if anything had changed an it had! Good stuff think I'll get some beers in now an be back later. All I want is a bloody dusting an I'll be happy, the Mrs won't like, I'll get the usual rolled eye treatment lol. Conditions will be more favourable for snow this time. See you all later then ☺

I think I will move

[Barmada Casten]

Would'nt expect much Tuesday night myself - i think experience is teaching me now that we 'just don't get snow.

 

And getting excited for the potential of a cm is just ridiculous in my opinion.

hope its snow

[SparkleS]

No ppn on raintoday

[damianslaw]

A lovely sunny day so far here, with the fells sparkling in white splendour. Despite max so far of 4.3 degrees it feels sub zero thanks to the icy keen NW wind. Chance we might get a dusting overnight. Its quite notable how most of the precipitation we have had since the 14 Jan has been of a wintry flavour rather than plain rain, with a mix of wet heavy snow, fluffy white dry snow, sleet, hail and graupel. The outlook looks a predominantly dry one, not unusual for Feb to mark the start of drier conditions in the Lake District, it can be a very dry month here, and in many years has been the driest month of the year. Conditions for winter walking etc look ideal over the next few days, especially as winds look like dying down, a skiers paradise..

Had good covering of snow last night. Mostly on high ground. Dusting on cars in our village. Topped up whats left from tues/wed. Winds are picking up a little but mostly mild and sunny. Not expecting anything now even though we have warnings for snow/sleet.
