Not looking bad the radar for later on.. *maybe* we are lucky..

There’s potential there. I’m not expecting much as I’m about as far east in the region you can get, but anything that does fall should hopefully be snow. Currently -1.1°C with the cloud and fog.

[Kasim Awan]

Given how slow moving these showers are, best case possible scenario is 10cm for low lying inland parts. Patchy 1-3cm before ice pellets more likely though.

[James M]

Very light shower, but nice fluffy flakes floating down ever so slowly in the calm

[SP1986]

Got woken up by rain and ice pellets hitting the window. Mostly rain now although there is big shower moving in that is currently giving lying snow to the Colwyn Bay area of North Wales It is 2C currently dp is 1C

Heavy ice pellets. Sticking on the ground. 0.8°C. Got down to -2.3°C earlier.

[Rush2019]

Had a light snow shower at some point earlier, evident on a bin bag I put out for collection.  No dusting on the ground though.

[Kasim Awan]

Good morning all. The Irish Sea is really springing to life. This will give inland areas a good shot at some snow. It will also begin to advance the warm maritime layer aloft which will start to produce ice pellets slightly further inland soon. 

[Weather-history]

Shower went over my area not long after midnight. Car and road has a slight snow cover.

[Chris.R]

This next shower is a bit more snow and ice pellets mix but temp is rising as warm layer is mixed down. Think I’m going to go back to bed.

Got a covering here tiny flakes could be ice pellets

[carl1980]

Proper snow now

Nice. Heavy precip eroding the warm layer. Warm layer is too expansive to be eroded on the coast.

Covering on the A55 around Colwyn Bay

Saw the radar and got up.

Thick, heavy snow falling on frozen ground. Beautiful. 

[Joe Bloggs]

Those showers look very beefy. Looking good for Manchester in the next hour. 
 

Don’t seem to be a huge number lining up though? 
 

Another very good call Kasim. 

[Spah1]

look to be in the right spot for once. 
 

nothing marginal here.

I'm trying not to bang my own drum here. The feeling when the meteorology aligns to your initial thoughs is great though. I will always welcome criticism as I've a lot to improve on too

Yeh unfortunately looks like North Wales has taken most of the instability.

Thank you for the comments.

Heavy graupel/hail here, now turned to snow and sticking.

Your shower has actually intensified over the past couple of radar frames. Looks very heavy.
