Same here. A bit of a sleety mix right now, but more snowy in a heavier burst a couple of minutes ago. Happy to have seen some flakes falling though.

It's not snowing

Proper miserable drive in to work this morning. That horrible fine rain that makes you feel cold to the bone.

[moogyboobles]

Just rain. Cold rain. 3 degrees and a dew point of 2.

Thankfully the low being modelled for early next week on the current GFS is going through its weakening stage when it makes landfall. Meaning the strongest of winds stay out at sea although still pretty rough for a time. 

Not sure what to make of it, I think the GFS is doing its usual and blowing it up to much. ECM sends it so far south its nothing to worry about really... 

GFS is usually fairly good at track this far out but not the depth of the low and likes to back down on intensity nearer the time

Well work have got in the spirit of the season. Just need some snow now

For the sake of everyone on the south coast I hope ICON is wrong here RE next weeks storm. 

Next run coming out now.. 
 

I like extreme weather but no thanks..

[Blazerblue]

Thoroughly miserable day here, dull and damp with that light drizzle yuk in the cold breeze. Doesnt look to improve over the weekend either

No thank you icon.

Not too bad a day here in Locksbottom with the rain out of the way before 7am and although no sun it felt so much milder than yesterday and we hit 9 degrees.Looking at mod thread things seemed to have turned more in favour of cold weather next week although sadly for the SE not quite cold enough for snow.Think the Midlands north west and Scotland may well see more snow,notably over 150m I would suggest and there could be some wintry landscapes here.We will need to wait a little longer I think.Still encouraging signs

For me, anything before Christmas is a result and i've already seen it this year.

Yea I was going say that ..least no worst winds but most cold rain which is like you say gruesome  ...but we could still have some fairly strong winds if that little blob of energy intensifies ..it wont pick that out yet
