Looks like it's gonna rain very dark here

[pip22]

I watched the forecast this morning it shows snow heading down from Scotland to over us. I doubt it would snow here it is too very marginal obviously apart from higher ground.

[WillinGlossop]

Looking forward to at least hills getting covering tonight.... Its very cold here in wind....4c feels like -2c in wind.... Fire on tonight.... Some forecasts going for 2-3 inches of snow up here at my postcode but we shall see.... Got busy day tomorrow so hopefully wont amount to too much....

[Chris.R]

Dry here for the last 36 hours. Must be a record for this winter. 

[Chris.R]

Happy  candlemas everyone btw it's dry so  winter should have a sting in its tail. 

[Chris.R]

 I jinxed it. I have a heavy shower now.

Just posted this on the moans and groans thread, maybe a little interest tonight and tomorrow morning for some, bit of an upgrade for a change.

Arpege has 5-10cm possible too.... Interesting....

[snowray]

I know, quite a shock when I saw them charts. Its the FAX charts that got me thinking originally.

Here are the most recent 06z FAX.

Can't see it giving more than a dusting too the usual highest spots, but it would be nice to be wrong and be one of those upgrade events that take the forecasters by surprise.  I'm still going with a dusting for the hills, mostly rain for everyone else.

Well nothing is certain in life dodger but id put money on you being correct.

Sholver etch might see a couple of cm as they are 300m asl.

Me and you probs just not quite high enough.

[weatherobsuk]

Sleet is already falling here, and it's 12hrs earlier than the suggested time of 5am tomorrow morning that the beeb forecasted for the colder pool of air to be in-situ across the north.

Just had a hail shower

[itsnowjoke]

Question is will I need my sledge ?? Noooo I hear you all shout lol no change there then 

[Allseasons-Si]

Nacreous clouds visible again,get your camera's ready.

[weatherobsuk]

Just about caught one Nacreous cloud overhead of Sheffield before the sun fully sets this eve, a very small (and less contrast) cloud compared to many i've seen taken the past 24hr. Nonetheless it's still a Nacreous cloud so I can't complain.
