Very cold here and absolutely racing down towards 0C. It’s 1C, frosty and icy. This mornings dusting is helping bring that temp down  

You still have covering from this morning!!! You should stop looking in ur freezer!!

Yup, also, look at met office text forecasts. No mention of rain. It’s snow all the way?

XC weather has my location (200m) for heavy rain by 6am.

I actually find XC weather quite good- hmmmm.

Thats just the GFS

[SP1986]

Obvious breeze here which is holding the temperatures up.. currently 2C with a distinct lack of ice.. picture attached

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

The cold air digs back in behind tomorrows low

[Had Worse]

No point worrying.

If its white... sledge out.

 

If its wet...boat out.

YUK!!

So thats BBC/METO app /XC weather GFS/ NMM all looking bleak

I do think you’ll get some snow.

Arpege looks good for some - although not necessarily for  lowland Manchester. GFS poor as you say, AROME much more promising for all.

My hunch is rain and sleet for here, snow (for a time) above 150m. 

We’ll see.

But isn’t it a gfs scripted forecast.... ie look at gfs and it’s not at all like met office too... although I’m talking about what’s being talked about in bbc not automated tripe....

 Remember dp and humidity are proportional so one affects the other. Try replacing the batteries and giving it a bash or something. Lol

Well if the apps are to believed you'll be building an ark not a snowman.

I'll be watching areas to my west like a hawk, although i fear i may have to set my alarm very eary- the front looks like crashing in before 5am !!

I think we maybe surprised by this. It's being under forecast. No hype so my spider senses say snow. I woke up to snow this morning in St.Helens, not much but enough.

Intruiges me as it doesn't mention it starting as snow turning to rain. Quite the opposite
