Another heavy shower here. Hoping for a few more tonight!
-
It’s eased a tad here though there are still heavier bursts to the east on the radar. Very happy with what I’ve got, though I wouldn’t complain about more over the next few days.
-
It took them a while to really get going but we've done pretty well here. A clear gap after this shower before more potentially from the North Sea.

Still got moderate snow here! A few centimetres here now, quite happy with this event overall. Hopefully we’ll get another hour out of this!

Still got moderate snow here. Looks like another hour or two of snowfall unless it dies out before completely passing. Either way, happy with what we’ve had now!
-
Snow is pretty heavy here now. Might get a good covering judging by the radar.

Light snow here. Hopefully some heavier stuff moving north soon!
-
Feeling hopeful even this far north. Some of the charts posted in here have been encouraging and the radar is promising.
-
Still got hope for those of us further north. Like I saw somewhere above, the precipitation looks further north than shown on the models, and I'm still under an Amber warning. Events like these are always unpredictable and a slight change could be the difference between 2cm and 10cm. All about seeing what happens on the day!

It may just be wishful thinking but does the precipitation look further north on the radar than displayed on the models to anyone else?

Look North still good and they have lots more access to data at the meto than we can see so fingers crossed! The front is now coming onto the radar in the SW and it does strech way up to western Ireland so that should make it over to us.
Its just a case of open the curtains in the morning and cross your fingers!
This is how I'm approaching it too. We can't change what the models say, but the Met Office still have me in an Amber warning so everything is still up for grabs. So many times these events differ from what's expected, so all we can do is wait.

Prospects seem a little less promising but nothing is guaranteed yet. It'll mostly be a case of radar watching and looking out of the window. I'm still feeling confident of getting 5-10cm which would still mean the best snow event since 2015 here, so even if it's not quite as extreme as other parts of the country it'll still be nice to see prolonged snow that actually settles. The model thread also has some people based in the south who'll ramp up every southwards shift they see, so don't be too discouraged yet!
As I'm typing, we have light snow here. Perhaps a covering tonight looking at the radar!

where are you situated buddy
Chesterfield. Not quite Yorkshire, but I tend to hover between here and the Midlands thread. Obviously best of luck to those further north too!
-
It's definitely looking good for Sunday here. We had a covering last night, unexpected and hopefully just a teaser.
-
This is one of the best storms I've seen. Utterly amazing.

This is agonising, especially since it looks like the weakest part is heading towards me. Everything strong slightly to the west or east.
-
Feeling pretty optimistic. Looks like a lot of the East Midlands region is in for some fun in a few hours!

I'm hoping this Bournemouth cell carries on growing. It's a long way to travel but we could be in business here in a few hours...
-
Starting to hear thunder now!
-
31°C here now, and things are looking hopeful on the storm front too!
-
I'm really looking forward to being able to be comfortable outside. I know winter was disappointing for a lot of people but it felt pretty cold most of the time.

I was worried for a little while but things still look on course for maybe an inch or so more here if we're lucky.
-
this first band is still on course for south and west yorkshire soon. its tilted a bit but still coming nicely. Still some bright yellows in it too and its not to fast. Should get some decent accumulation from this. I still beleive well get some of the stuff to follow aswell
Yeah the shape of this band threw me off a little because it made it appear to be going straight east. I just looked more closely though and it looks like we could get a few hours out of it.

Remember that heavy line you mention started off rather meekly before it crossed the Irish Sea.
That's true, I'm just getting a little anxious haha. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I can’t wait for single digit temperatures, a ghastly wind chill and cloud.
Seriously though, I’d be fine with it if it was only a few days but this cold spell looks quite prolonged. I just don’t see the good in this kind of weather at this time of year, I miss warmth. Even more frustrating is getting a taste of warmth early next week and then having it snatched away.
