Cold enough for snow in fact today has felt quite cold - 2.0C my Dp is -3C. MO tend to overdo it IMHO. I usually knock off 1-2C.

[Snow Queen one]

No met office warnings for later on tonight. Wont hold my breath for any snow tonight.

Never ceases to amaze me that people on a weather forum take the BBC weather forecast as gospel

[john mac]

Temp 2.2c

Dp -5c

[mickeyb44]

Five miles up the road from me there are a few snow patches surviving.

[Hammer]

For those South of London re tonight, METO definately see shower activity in early hours 3am ish and through tomorrow morning when you look at METO invent. Which has proved very good in recent events, so despite no yellow be aware for those locations. Its still a possibility.

I must admit I find the disconnect between the MetO outputs and the TV forecasts (even on the BBC) unfathomable.  All I can imagine is that the awful graphics plus the much-reduced slot allowed for forecasts has led to such vague, hurried pronouncements that accuracy has suffered.

[Daniel*]

You cannot forecast snow showers where they hit is really a guessing game.

Afternoon all,

 

For the snow starved a couple of pictures from our friends in the Pyrenees where one and a half meters of snow fell on Saturday and Sunday.

 

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Temperature still falling (only to be expected, I admit, but the rate is surprising); 1.0C in Wymondham now.  DP. still -4C.

 

EDIT:  Make that 0.9C LOL!

So that's where it all went!

[The Beast From The East]

I see talk of a "possible" northerly on the model discussion thread for next weekend...

After the last one and the huge letdown I think I will pass on that and stick with cold clear frosty weather unless I can have a nice easterly instead... Don't want much do I ? Lol 😉â„⛄

Does anyone think peterborough is a good location for showers tonight? X

[fatyido]

A lot of snow reports coming from Lincolnshire / Yorkshire. Even snowing right on the coast with Skeggy reporting snow now. Fingers crossed they keep heading south.

[Neilsouth]

I was looking at the wind directions and they don't look favourable at all for snow?

[Snow Queen one]

Very cold pit just been for a walk with the dog. Colder than anytime over the weekend.

Seem to be heading south-west though.  There are a few making landfall on the North Norfolk coast, but they seem to be weakening rapidly.

Yes,

These showers are moving south - Euro4 shows it well.

Edit: having a look there is a little hint west

[janetmh71]

Looking at the radar they seem to be moving south west and not south . . . not holding my breath but do secretly hope to get some of this!
