Met Office have me down for Heavy Snow until Midnight and Light snow until 6am. What?

My bbc weather app has done the same to show 10 till 12 heavy snow.

[Mair Snaw]

Starting to think this might be a bit of a bust tonight..... had almost 3 hours of the lightest snow i think ive ever seen..... think i might just go and sup on my JD to numb the pain a little....if i wake to a covering in the morning then so be it... if i dont then who cares.....

 

[cyclonic happiness]

there is a large area of precipitation heading down from 'up north' you never know, we may get it all after midnight

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate snow here now.

Polar make sure you post some snaps for us snow peasents lol, currently in Kingstanding visiting folks met says heavy snow at 10pm here wat is going on do they have a clue. Thought it had gone further east

Don't give up just yet the drizzle has now got flakes coming down with it, so still hope yet I think

[Mair Snaw]

well no sooner have i thrown in the towel..... its snowing here again and must be moderate-heavy as the town i can normally see from my lounge has just gone from view.... having switched on the garden search light i can confirm large flakes wafting about in the wind....

[Adzyy]

Sleet here.

[Snowsie]

Met office gives me flakes...takes them away...puts them back! Getting fed up of this 'will it won't it'  and now just going with 'if it does it does and if it don't it don't !

(I know 'don't' isn't grammatically correct but it just sounds better that way)

poxy little drizzly sleet here.  just typical.  where has the snow gone these past few years?  its ridiculous

[Lukey]

Met app updated ..... Yeah right! Still drizzly now.

Heavy snow starting to settle

Looks like a cold but sleety/showery rain filled night for the Black Country.  Currently 1.9C in Dudley.

Just stepped outside for some air. It's so wet!!

[snow freak]

come on northampton...prove me wrong.  i dare you

[Gord]

Looks like we can get that precipitation that's up north...

...but sadly, it's too late for us. As said already, it'll just be yet another soggy night to add to the list.

Such a shame, and the ground is going to be a complete state again just after it had hardened up and frozen over. I've enjoyed not having mud trudged through my house today.

 

[Hughsey]

Light snow falling in West Nottingham, settling on cars, grass etc and some of the paths.  Met office not forecasting any snows until later on for here.

At a friends tonight in Beds, very very very small flakes, the phone app says heavy snow at my place near the A45 I'm probably in the wrong blooming place for the only snow event of our region for the year!

Sleet really picking up 

almost snow , reckon next 45mins- hour it's gonna start turning to snow over our patch !!

Completely stopped here now,you'd struggle to know it had snowed at all here.Even the snow on the cars has melted now.We had more than this in the last week of November just gone.

I admire your optimism and really hope you're right. But look how far east those higher temps and dew points have gone. This one is for the East Midlands, London and the SE I'm afraid.

I have noticed our heavy snow which was forcast early is getting put back. Until 10 till 12 now then light snow till 4.

[Mair Snaw]

Smashing it down now.... medium size flakes and lots of them.....

[skyblusam]

Wow I've got a rainfest cold spell my weeble. Roll on the summer. Unfortunately our winters now seem to be a lot milder and snowless compared to the 90's and earlier. And I think this is how it's going to stay. Oh to be a kid again running in to put my gloves on the radiator for a quick warm before running back outside to finish the snowman 

[nobble]

Patience , think I'm just far enough East??
