I was thinking with any evap cooling 200m may be the snowline.

No matter foe you and me its Cold Rain

C.S

maybe 200m, for sleet/wet snow, but pure/powdery snow over 300m, but anyway still autumn, only early Nov

Had some sleet some hail and a very quick snow shower here around 5pm.... if i had not been looking out the window at that exact time i would never have known... i think some of us will be in for a nice little treat come Wednesday morning... its going to be a long few months with many a twist and turn....but im sure we will all get at least one good dumping before March is out..... on the other hand i have told the wife if we dont get snowed in this winter we are heading to Scotland... to move up the side of a mountain....Wanlockhead seems to be the best bet...they have an ice day there on Tuesday.... no need to worry about warm sectors or being marginal....

Not to worry you pair, I've got got a very good feeling we'll be joining in with the fun before November's out 

And proper Winter starts then

[echobase]

And so it begins for another winter.... Maybe, just maybe...!!

[weirpig]

Well well euro4 brings snow right through the heart of the region  might see a few flakes  peaks in a good position

The very north of our region maybe, but I still remember Oct 2008 the same was said, "Only sleet and snow for the higher parts of our region" and things changed during the day....but then again it was a different set up....but you never say never

being realistic, but probably my christmas pudding biased thoughts, and my believing of snow only on hills, but I think only snow in this region will be on Peaks, Flash, and 200m+, slushy mess, 300m+ proper snow

Flash 425m, powdery snow 20cms

See the swear filters still working

[I remember Atlantic 252]

yes, and I don't even like christmas pudding, also think the hilly members will have a slow thaw during Wednesday evening, as less cold air moves in from the Atlantic, not exactly a great event us low down members are missing out on, as here air would be even milder when the Atlantic breaks through

[Guest]

well im looking forward to tomorrow afternoon/evening and tomorrow night... reckon i might just do a spot of lampost watching... got a funny old feeling some of us are gonna be in for a little surprise come Wednesday morning....

Wish it was covering the West Midlands as well, though there is a snow symbol for this region but that's probably because that yellow area just about clips the far north east of the West Midlands region. It's not beyond possible though I suppose (though chances are probably slim) that it could spread further west than that forecast indicates. Either way it's good to see snow forecast so far south at close range this early in the season. Even if I get nothing here this time, this coming Winter is already showing signs that it will be a colder one than the last 3 (hopefully). So there is at least hope for now, further down the line, that I could get some decent snow at some point.
