Snowing slightly on Bablake webcam Cov

Agreed, in my experience from living in Coventry snow bands coming from that direction in this type of situation tend not to get past Leicester bar the odd very light flurry.

I know I annoyed people going on about it not being a polar low, but honestly how could it have been? We are just diluting our weather terminology so that it is becoming meaningless dumbed down garbage! This has really peed me off and everyone gets suckered in by the hype it's just pathetic, perhaps I contribute to the wrong kind of forum

Hope it don't turn to rain for you guys as it's a relatively mild 4.6c here.

4.6c here some polar bear!

How on earth can this be a polar low - it's close on 5c here in the warm sector of this standard secondary low.

The thingy seems to be breaking up as it nears n Wales now

But its a modern Polar Low it only has slightly mild sectors

Yes streamer will set up hopefully straight through Lampeter

Doubt it, not here in the west anyway, 4.3c and rising, rain possibly turning to snow at the end.

Defo for rain here too, 4.2c/ dp 1.2c

Better stay out of the thingy thread they get upset when you say you dont think it is in fact one!
