Ian's forecast soon I'm not going to miss this one tonight! Try not to miss them most nights all year round but this could be a good one

Just noticed a small splatter of snow on my shed roof through window, opened the window to check if snow was still falling and it wasn't, but there are two white lights in the sky chasing each other round and round, I have no idea what it is?????

 

RAF planes chasing the Russians? 

[MrNooo]

Don't think they know where it'll go, certainly will be interesting to watch this eve. I suspect it'll pass down through the Midlands although would be great if it stayed out further East before crossing the country!!

I did take a video of the lights, but it didn't come out very clear, even called my neighbour to look to make sure I didn't have some sort of lamp post watching spots in my eyes

_{Been a long time lurker but not posted much at all so far.}

 

_{Looks an interesting evening/night and you never know, it might produce some snowy weather for at least some of the region!}

 

_{Not sure if this has been posted here already but another member over on the model thread posted a link to this site that seems very good for following the track of the overnight 'feature' via satellite pictures:}

Welcome aboard, stick around and let us hope the snow does too. Regarding tonight's developments, they should arrive across the refion in the overnight period and is suggested to be rain/sleet at lower levels, more especially towards the SW and snow over the hills etc. I personally beg to differ but I'll be fast asleep when it happens and will hopefully wake up to a dusting.

good!!! Something for cornwall

[gottolovethisweather]

Sleet at that temperature? I thought more like snow?

 

Probably not heavy enough at the time I'd suggest William.

A little Polar Low developing in the flow tonight according to Ian!! How exciting!

[Zephyr]

Time to watch radar tonight folks, it's down to a nowcast! Good luck everyone.

[chris55]

Also we had  a few snow showers today, nothing settled but nice to see.

I wouldn't worry too much on the precip-type, more the actual precipitation itself. Flurries for a few again, nothing problematic though.

I am still nervous being on his southern boundary (mendips - northeastwards) for snow/rain

[dec10snow]

Not expecting anything but rain tonight, unfortunately!

[Jayfromcardiff]

The polar snow will smash into Wales and the sw dumping 2-6 inches of snow, just looked into my crystal globe.

[lfcdude]

Looks alright that forecast more promising then i expected, no doubt ian will be on later nowcasting

Yep ignore them ppn charts, BBC said no snow for Cardiff today and we had around 20mins of heavy snow!

Unless the fergieweather tv update stated anything different, here's my view copied from an earlier post.

 

"Regarding tonight's developments, they should arrive across the region in the overnight period and is suggested to be rain/sleet at lower levels, more especially towards the SW and snow over the hills etc. I personally beg to differ but I'll be fast asleep when it happens and will hopefully wake up to a dusting."

Did someone say polar low   Don't have to work tomorrow! The question is do I stay up?

Hopefully it will be colder further south than expected so everyone get to see some of the white stuff!!!!

He did also mention the track is still uncertain.
