lol thats why I asked.i was hoping your answer would be that its on low ground but it clearly is not.does not fill me with any confidence at all of seeing snow later as am in leicester and leicester is not all that high.

[MKN]

Snowing down to 80m further north apparently and sticking. View the other threads

[Staffordshire]

Tense stuff

[Chess01]

Snowing in Rotherham 71m, Like Staffordshire said "Tense stuff"

[Ian Brown]

Light rain here.

[Staffordshire]

Rain here aswell, hopefully my slight elevation will help me see something a bit more wintry by the lampost in the heavier bursts

[Potent Gust]

Rain here as well at the moment!

[Staffordshire]

Yorkshire thread sounds hopeful, I have twice the elevation as most of the city and they are reporting huge flakes settling, I'd imagine the band will die out soon though

twice the elevation of me as well, yours is 216m, if still at gentleshaw

[Gord]

Just smatterings of light rain here. it's the intensity that will bring surprises...and as already mentioned, it is getting weaker.

[Static Prevails]

Snow here! There's little chance of anything settling as the ground is soaked from the rain, but it's a nice way to kick off the season!

[Dancerwithwings]

Plenty of locations reporting snow just to the north of us and heading this way, All depends on how heavy the precipitation is, Looking at the radar still heavy looking.

Is it me or does it seems further west.

GFS looking good for early next week, certainly dry, hopefully cold,frosty and foggy

 

I think ECMWF is a crap model, not accurate medium range to FI, its all about no1 model GFS folks

[Bishop Brennan]

Blustery rain here for the past hour or two.

 

Dancer - yes the rain seems to be sliding south westwards somewhat.

[Staffordshire]

The rain is getting the slightest bit of wintriness about it now (if that is grammatically correct) and yes mark I am although just outside of gentleshaw at around 200m

[weirpig]

maybe a touch of sleet here  although intensity seems to have picked up  lashing it down

[Summer of 95]

Rain and howling wind here, doesn't seem anywhere near cold enough for snow. We did get a few sleety bits in the rain this morning, but its got warmer since then. Are the 850s much colder over Yorkshire or something, its weird how its sticking low down there but its rain and sleet everywhere else

[hammy]

Sleeting here, with horrible gusts, I work nights on the back doors of a warehouse, tonight is not going to be pleasent in the slightest

[Terminal Moraine]

Wet snow for the last couple of hours here, about 1cm at 290m and 2cm at 340 m. Current temp' is 0.6c.

Earlier today this band was seen to be on its way to the east of our region and i was hoping it would come in a little further west but i did'nt expect this far west,

To where its almost missing me altogether .......Just shows how things can change in a very short time.

Well, it developed a hole that went around me and then the bulk of it changed direction and went 10 miles to the west of me!!! ><

 

It's happening again!! WTF!
