Snow can fall in temps upto 8c however the dew point must be subzero

Dark clouds are coming towards me, it does look snowy.

[SparkleS]

Seems quite mild out to me

[Miamay]

Just spoken to my parents who live in County Donegal, Ireland. They are snowed in and it is still falling. They on an orange warning for today and tomorrow. It cold and dry here but dark skies moving in from the River Mersey

[Dr. Astro]

The precipitation is quite further north than I expected, especially after looking at the Euro4 model.

 

It seems the GFS might be on course what CreweCold posted earlier.

The band is further north than I expected. It is reaching now a critical location - northeast Wales. If it doesn't break up there then Manchester has a chance.

That's true. Albeit i'm expecting the life to be sucked out of it by the Welsh Mountains.

I think you are ideally placed today. :-)

That's usually the case.

It is cold actually, feels like rain or something.

[gearbox100]

I just been outside in st.Helens and its chilly and feels damp in the air so rain incoming. This winter has been a yo yo here tho with mild and cold being interchangeable by the day.

Trying my hardest not to get my hopes up. Fully expecting the Welsh mountains to eat all the precip so I won't be disappointed

The most intense part of it is further south so only light precipitation is likely for us.

[Snow free zone]

I reckon those in the south of the region may get a surprise out of this, looks like the snow of 2 years ago where it came into the region from the SW and areas to the south of say Leyland did really well out of it from a snowy point of view.  Not as intense this time but looking similar IMO. 

[pip22]

The BBC weather app has actually put light snow here right now and 11pm tonight.

[davacr123]

Just had some sleet here at work in hoylake

[karyo]

The band is starting to fragment.

[Spah1]

Just look at the radar no Sig PPN coming our way. All sliding under.
