Frosty the Snowman

I mean it could be something entirely unrelated, but that seems the most plausible (specially with the Ukrainian military buying a few Antonovs recently)

Likely in relation to this deal between UK and Ukraine, presumably high ranking Ukrainian officials checking places out or progress.

I think there might be energy feeding from that big red blob at the back the radar hasn't cottoned on to, consistently heavier than the radar is saying it should be for the last 10-20 minutes,

More annoying that initially they're was loads heading that general direction and then sudden death of all significant precip. I'm moving to Buxton

Never mind, didn't kill the PPN moved it about 30-50 mile east, even worse,

Radar just killed all the heavier PPN before it got this far north, looks like 1-2cm is going to be it. Still light snow though, shame.

Totals in some high ground areas are going to be 10-40cm by the end of tomorrow night, never mind 1-4cm. Looks like snow during the day tomorrow and potential reload at the weekend.

If you're expecting it from the met don't.

Temps over in the north west were falling from 8/9 to 1/2 in a matter of an hour or so, so if your temps are falling it won't be long.

Only really applies if there's no rapid thaw, last you want is inches of snowmelt in those rivers. If it goes on as long as netweather forecast was suggestion for my area, should have been red. Speaking of which, does anyone know what time the front should fully clear, considering staying up?

Seems a bit early to call that. So far got just about (quite a wet) covering here with it having turned snowy around 7 to 7.30. Decent elevation (200m) It would need to get a lot heavier or last well into tomorrow morning/afternoon to come close to historic (bearing in mind we had 4-5 inches of snow here only a few weeks back in that last cold snap)

One more event to pile against the 'too wet to settle' argument. 48+ hours of rain and now completely white outside after less than an hour. Nuts.

Will be snow soon.

Bit sleety in low bursts, but heavy precip bundling 50p flakes (about 200m asl). Temp just needs to drop a few degrees and precip remain that heavy and we'll be buried.
