Sounds like that rain/sleet band is now turning to snow has it heads more inland and moves SE towards me on Net radar.

Had some heavy hail, then the PPN turned to snow. Now stopped but a covering is left.

Feeling bitter cold too at 1.3 C with 85% humidity bringing the dewpoint down to -0.9 C. It's also quite icy on the ground.

Been out all evening and only just seen a forecast for tonight.  You couldn't chuffing make it up.  Just north gets pummelled all morning, showers mostly go either side of me all afternoon & evening and then tonight this low heads through Wales just fringing the far western edge of the Midlands and does a sharp cross-country turn just slightly to the south.   #snowshield    


 


One day the West Midlands will get buried and I'll make no apology for rubbing everybody's nose in the fact that they have jack all or rain.

As Ian testifies we have had light snow showers for the last 30 minutes.


At the start the snow was settling on all surfaces when we had +0.5c / -1.2c, however, things have changed slightly and although the snow continues to fall things have warmed up to +0.8c / -0.5c meaning that the snow is sliding dwon the windscreen rather than sticking to the frost as it was earlier.

Easing off now, would be great to get another load, then clear skies - boom frozen solid. If not then already it has made up for last "Winters" attempt at Winter. Well chuffed

Turning into a good winter for the Peaks and Pennine areas. Just hoping some more snow hits Stoke overnight and then it freezes. Just worried tomorrow is going to warm up and it'll be a waste.

That polar low has suffered for it's track across N. Ireland; the feed of warm, rising air into it's core was lost for long enough to cause the circulation to lose some of its identity.


These things really are like hurricanes in a lot of ways... just on a much lower energy scale!


Since moving back over water, the core has been trying to reform over the Irish Sea, and with some decent convection it seems the NW tip of Wales is about to be slammed pretty hard. Not sure if it will bring rain or snow though.


 


By the time it reaches southernmost counties, it's remains are expected to bring some snow showers here based on the recent BBC forecasts. The high-res models haven't seemed so keen though, in fact nearly all output shows rain.
This implies forecaster modification is improving the parameters with respect to snow, for reasons behind closed doors.


Not getting my hopes up though - I fear that the patchy lying snow on the grass here won't survive until daybreak.


 


It occurs to me now that separate discussion and reports threads might have been a better way forward with this event... too many reports raising jealousy levels across the south

So loads of PPN across Wales, heading towards South Wales, but is it all rain ? Anyone got any thoughts etc please ?

Got back home about midnight. Untreated surfaces here have a thin dusting of snow which has frozen into crunchy ice. We are talking millimetres rather than centimetres. Hoping the low holds together until it reaches here in maybe a couple of hours.
