Covering of snow here after watching united win a game

[PennineMark]

Alot of the route is 1350ft asl

[More Runs Needed]

Light rain here

[Chris harry]

Coming down a bit heavier now 

[damianslaw]

Didn't take long to produce a cover, and on many surfaces, proof once again don't need significantly low uppers to produce snow at relatively low levels. These events bode very very well for the winter season as a whole, given airmasses from between west and north can only get colder and colder.

2 snow events in 5 days not bad going!

[WillinGlossop]

Is starting to lay making an eerie rustling sound… still light though… temp down to 0c 

[SP1986]

Heavy rain now.  Wirral with its hyper-mild snow free climate. Should be used to it now but it would be nice to see some snow once in a while! 

[damianslaw]

It's the sort of event you want on a Christmas Eve evening, nothing severe to cause traffic issues, just enough to give a wintry scene, followed then by a cold frosty Christmas Day.. and it sticking, if only. That is my ideal scenario, an inch of snow Christmas Eve and an ice day on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. 

[Chris.R]

Very heavy rain. 3.2°C. Seems like a distinct WNW/ESE snow line

[jam2010]

Heavy rain, just rain!

[Chris.R]

Slightly sleety again. 3.1°C.

[PennineMark]

Just took this with the camera on night mode. Amazing how much of the low light the snow must reflect as it looks like daytime. 

[James M]

A nice covering now. 0.5°C 

[WillinGlossop]

Have a covering dusting to 2cm in places where it started laying… quite wet snow… nice with the Christmas decs up
maybe the weekend May hold a longer lasting snowfall Old glossop Victorian Christmas market Saturday 

[James M]

Not doing too bad so far this season, 3 snowfalls already and it’s only December 2nd!

[Frost HoIIow]

A covering of snow here. Mostly the car and grass but it's the wet marginal stuff that you know will melt in next to no time. Certainly won't be still here in the morning as temps rise through the night.

[Had Worse]

Well, I'm home. A bit dicey in a few places.

Last nights wintry sugar coating before retiring for sleep has now gone with temps a balmy 4c.

Models have a nasty low forecast for Wednesday, ideally for NW'ers we want ECM take on it going more southerly bringing in colder air on its northern flank & less impact for wind (here)...GFS has it at potential amber/red warning levels for Irish Sea coastal dwellers.  Hopefully over doing it.

[Iceaxecrampon]

Wow - GFS 00z has a belter of a Dartboard at +111 down to 945mb  Tuesday Wednesday  - in the reliable?  - one to watch  - Cornwall an the SW in the firing line.

Previous to this next promising assault re snow is a Greeny incursion at +81 Cumbria - Northumbria maybe to 1200ft asl potential 9 hours fall?

LP potential Storm has leading edge ppn but nothing to sea level from the SW

All in all an interesting if not concerning week ahead.
