Snowy L

Did Jan 21 not deliver for you? Probably matched March earlier this year with this one, good 2 inches now.

About an inch settled now

Still nice steady snow here

Waiting for the inevitable it looks like, but for now heavy snow settling everywhere 1-2cm. Beats last December

Relieved to say it's snowing here with a dusting starting to settle, but reports in Birmingham have me rattled, thought you would be safe mostly being 200m+.

No matter how many snow events I go through, the first layer of evaporating snowfall ahead of the front always makes me anxious.

First flakes just started now.

Let's just hope 00zs don't reset everything again, though I like the fact it's multiple models picking up on this Atlantic ridge signal now.

I think the main band is still west Wales, it has the same N/S orientation as the main event on the models. Everything else is just early light stuff ahead of the main band.

Another day of 06z, 12z and, 18z clawing back what the 00z took from us again. How is this happening every day?

Met office says rainfest for me even today, problem is its current temperature for here is already 2C above reality while BBC is 3c above. I don't know what I'm missing but I just don't see anything but snow today and I'm quietly confident for Monday too.

Same, midday and the ground already looks like we've had snowfall because of all the frost that's built in the last 3 days. Should hopefully stick fine.

Got some breathing space in the warning area. 100m so would hope for at least some accumulations. Let's hope it's a good one because the charts aren't looking great this morning, those dartboard lows always seem to know the worst possible time to make an appearance.

Lake effect snowmaker upper low incoming.

Snow and cold by far and away the best to have. Mild and unsettled is absolutely horrific, especially if Spring is poor as well, then you've essentially had a 9 month block of monotonous miserable rubbish. The other 2 I can understand.

After seeing the huge BFTE being blown away with ease by a small low in 2018 I've never believed the cold is hard to shift myth, that was a rude awakening. With this cold spell though I do think there could be surprises, because we have positive reinforcements e.g. Canadian warming after the jet fires up, as opposed to waiting the inevitable after our initial block loses strength. If those reinforcements can affect the jet on time there's no reason we can't stay in the cold side. As said a few days ago the timing of those conflicting interactions will result in the messiest charts ever.

-3C good foundation on the off chance that band in Yorkshire decides to make it this far South

That's a significant cold cluster at least, what's that 65/35 in favour of mild.

Canadian warming event happening immediately after the jet stream getting a bit more power is a recipe for the messiest charts ever. I'd back a return to mild at least temporarily, but not surprised LPs are suddenly fizzling out to the North of the UK in 2nd week of December. Model watching is going to be mad in the next week.

Let's hope we have a case of models not yet taking it into account as much as they should do until it's actually happened. Would be very well timed with our first block fading around that time.

It's fractions of a degree lower than the tightly packed bunch of members. Main takeaway is it is with a large cluster of colder members.

A what? Would think that next low is set up nicely for an undercut when it makes it across the Atlantic, though getting way into FI now.

Would hope the GFS still gets there with the next low as it's already looking very disrupted.

Even then it was just 1 day of falling snow for those few lucky enough to even have a snow event. For a 10-14 day cold spell that's awful. 2010 was a snow event per day pretty much when I was in Leeds. December 2022 was an enormous waste of potential given the synoptics.

Half agree, it's a bit better than last December at least, which was pretty much no flow.
