I still think we will have snow

 

Maybe 200m+..maybe at lower levels, but it won't accumulate below those levels IMO. So it's kind of pointless anyway!

[fordy]

Finally some heavy snow here after being unluckly earlier,instant covering happy days

[Gracie]

Nice thin covering here in Ashby de la Zouch, and its still snowing!

[Terminal Moraine]

Average depth 8.6cm here with slight drifting in exposed areas. Drifts up to 30cm deep.

[Supacell]

From an IMBY point of view I am hoping the NMM has this one correct

[markw2680]

3 inches of snow here and still falling, regards to the fun later it will do whatever it has to but I'd b very very surprised if it's rain that falls from the sky, especially with a bit of height

Needs to be further south and west for me.

Well the Polar Low or the Viennese Whirl or whatever you want to call it seems to now be racing south to south east at a really fast pace.

[kmanmx]

Haha wow I thought there would be no more snow. Just looked at the radar, panicked, ran to the window... sweet sweet heavy snow falling and settling

[Gord]

The whirly polar thing seems to be following the track of the current crop of showers in the Irish Sea.

 

Not wishing to get too optimistic but this could be good news for here...

 

...forget model output, this is radar and satelite watching time!

where is this likley to fall

[sevenkings]

expect more snow over night midlands west Yorkshire northwards

[Gord]

Hard to tell, only going off what I can see on the satelite and the radar...but I think we are in with a real shout at this time.

 

Also hard to tell if I'm only seeing what I want to see! Radar plays tricks on my biased eyes sometimes!

[Summer of 95]

steadily rising here as well, forecast is for much milder air tomorrow and Saturday, before the real cold plunge behind Saturday's rain

Showers are still of snow and they stick, but it still keeps melting in between them despite the sun setting hours ago. The air temp just refuses to go below zero, even at night.

[kev238]

Looking at the radar it does seem like it is tracking further east than the bbc were suggesting. Perhaps not quite far enough eastwards for me though

[Potent Gust]

4 heavy snow showers here today so far. Each time it has left a sugar coating.

[Mair Snaw]

Well its been a beautiful snowy day here in the peaks...the first time we have had day light snow in ages and I missed it coz I was having another tattoo done...by the time I got out it had stopped but then we have just had a spate of heavy snow in the last hour.... whats this about a Polar low???

[Dancerwithwings]

Is the polar low time-wise meant to be hitting Northern Ireland or is it ahead of it's self compared to the Forecast ???
