Evening HotCuppa, whats your friend at the airport said about the forcast and what is the taf saying?

Taf says rain to snow

my friend says snow later.  I am unconvinced despite his track record, things just don't look or feel right with whats going on.  Some really crazy stuff going on.  the front has stalled, there is back fill from the Irish sea going on, and we may see some snow from 8/10pm. I said earlier some kind of miracle needs to happen, well so far, the temps and dp's in some places have started dropping, some people are seeing flakes of snow. I have not see anything, and there is no precipitation over me, which might be a blessing in disguise, since we really need the dp's and wet bulb temperatures to drop below freezing.  at the moment we are the wrong side of marginal. I have no idea where you are, so I don't know if the forecast applies to yourself or not.

I have to be honest and say it's unlikely.. but surprises have been sprung before. If there is more precipitation on the way this far west, then it's possible given the knife edge situation, but otherwise, that possibility is fairly low.

Thanks Stephen - appreciate your views on this.

Snowing here, no breeze at all, albeit fairly light there are some big flakes mixed in, sticking instantly to all surfaces

This is exactly what we want to hear, for those living west of the M6

That's not a good sign with you just down the road.. Hopefully I'm a higher than you and it will remain as snow here.

Snowing again now

Jeez it's like pulling teeth to get any precipitation. Meanwhile, that band will be on the east coast soon!

Great day out to patterdale with the kids in the snow - several inches higher up, and we managed to have a few minutes at least where they did enjoy the sledging as much as the other half!

surprised with this new snow - 5 cm now at the house and still snowing (for a few minutes yet), -0.2. 

evening snow man time now!
