Where's the snow

Not coming - unless you like dandruff.

[cyclonic happiness]

So the Met office says yes, the BBC says no and they are using the same information, so how can anyone here be certain of the outcome?

We'll just have to wait

[ISAAC]

It's been 2 hours of non stop light snow. Now picking up with more decent size flakes.

Radar is looking better too now.

[Ian Ballinger]

Not coming - unless you like dandruff.

Why, is dandruff coming?

[wednesburybaz]

roll on spring!!!

[Strider]

Yes the current ppn is bumfluff, and to be perfectly honest there's (currently) no sign of anything heavy.

[Chess01]

Snowing again in stoke . Stuck to the paths now

[cyclonic happiness]

The radar image shows the second 'blob' (can't really call it a front yet) developing just to the northwest of Ireland, that's the one we need to watch.

I think the radar is showing the precipitation's starting to beef up a bit... not lost hope yet!

[The Wolf]

_{The forecast I saw showed the North East Midlands would be all snow but for the rest of the region}

_{it would be all rain. Certainly a big downgrade by the BBC compared to earlier charts I had seen.}

_{Hope they are wrong but they clearly think the warm sector will play a big factor and mean rain for}

_{most of the Midlands whilst parts of the East get pounded.}

[we_want_snow]

Nothing hardly here yet

[Bolton67]

This maybe just me, but the Precip leaving North Wales now looks like it's starting to Intensify

very light here intermittent,

[Wadey]

The warm sector seems to have downgraded/disappear ? Anyone confirm

I think so too, let's hope it keeps going!

[cyclonic happiness]

It has but problem is first band dislodges cold air, every forecast/model says pure rain tomorrow

[Staffordshire]

I have been saying most of the day it wasnt meant to get going till 8-9pm and it seems to be pepping up... Heres hoping

[ISAAC]

very light here intermittent,

yes mark, always seems to happen in this set up, 10 miles north of you is much better. Some green blobs on the radar coming in for you though

[Staffordshire]

very light here intermittent,

you got a covering yet mate? seems very wet here?

[Gord]

It's definitly looking more oganisied to our north and west. Still won't drop great amounts but looking better now. Getting a little dusting here from the current light stuff now.

[Polar Maritime]

Very light snow here now.

Current Temp -1.4c

Wind Chill -2.8c

Dew Point -2.5c

[Arctic Hare]

Very, and I mean very, light snow here. Lamp-post stuff and even then you have to look hard.

I think snizzel is the word for it...

I keep seeing this but from the latest forecast I have seen on BBC the warm sector

will scupper any chances of snow for most of the midlands tomorrow. I hope the BBC are wrong

but we are very close to the event now and it seems to be getting worse for our prospects for

snow tomorrow if they are right.
