Quite a few aren’t showing destinations on tags on Flightradar24 since the summer... but strange...

They sometimes with hold destination, I've seen N/A to N/A.

It was Ukrainian registered but that doesnt mean its heading back there if its been chartered.

That plane that you might have heard was an Antonov An12.

Not many of them around.

It's been back and forth from Ukraine to Liverpool recently. I heard it yesterday, went right over our house, a very characteristic sound. I wonder what it's carrying?

Probably food parcels.

Alloy wheels.

[Geordiesnow]

Rain setting in getting heavier and heavier, guess this is just the start.

I so wish this low was a bit a further south, it would really ramp up the wintry potential but unlikely we will see any significant movements now.

A hercules flew over my house earlier - heavy rain here

[WillinGlossop]

Heavy rain now for next 36 hours... patio out back already has door mat in puddle... gutters flowing well... just hope we can get some snow afterwards and flooding locally and nationally isn’t too bad  

[Thunder Snow]

Rain setting in here now

[jam2010]

Throwing it down! fingers crossed there isn't too much flooding. 

[SnowWatcher2]

  All still showing a nice offering of snow, have calculated the amount rain and snow amounts predicted from each model over my area from..

 Tue 3:00 -  Wed 23:59(rain) / Thurs 00:00 - Sat 23:59(snow)

GFS - 61mm rain / 10cm snow
ECM- 64mm rain / 10.2cm snow
METO - 59.7mm rain / 2.3cm snow
ICON-EU - 81.6mm rain / 15.9cm snow

If only it was the other way round.. Still, these charts keeping my spirits up

Meto/BBC text updates are a bust for us.

Wintry showers for high ground ...

Let's see if we can eek out some last minute upgrades...

[iand61]

A quick look at the radar and the main area of rain seems to be further south at the moment.

maybe some last minute changes but the BBC forecast is still bullish about it being in the original position.

[WillinGlossop]

Hammering it down very wet out there 7c 

[Chris.R]

I think I heard that plane go over before.

[Chris.R]

Ignore BBC/Met until 24 hours out and even then just use them As another source; better off relying on more reliable technical sources such as you can find on here.

BTW I haven’t watched a TV forecast for 10 years because I can’t stand them they make me physically sick.

Putting aside the snow possibilities keep a watch for Meto warnings later would not be surprised to see a red warning for somewhere in the region.

Met app with isn’t a bad tool for general guidance. As it stands only a thin area of back edge snow. 
 

GFS ensembles has the 37cm spike again

Of which 35cm will melt before getting to your front door lol

[severe snowstorm]

The one thing I have noticed over the past 2 or 3 days is that the wintry prospects for Thursday have been slowly watered down in the metoffice text forecast for the region. It now just says showers for Thursday with no mention of sleet or snow.

This is also represented in the App forecast with temps a degree or two higher than originally forecast,
