That a looks to me like the precipitation is further west than was showing for this time in last nights forecast!

The App shows rain not far from my location a bit earlier then I thought ?  Is it coming in faster ?

I will soon switch to most reliable method of forecasting 'looking out of window'

How about NW London, can I expect anything much?

[Weathizard]

Looks like being a sleety affair for us on the coast! Dissappointing but I just want to see some snow falling to be honest feels like a long long time!

Suits me, the slower the better! Finish work at 8, don't want snow earlier because Southeastern rail will instantly implode

Yes

also PPn friday morning @10am in low dewpoints = a better chance of snow away from coasts

T30 GFS sightly more atlantic amplification-

ALL eyes on sunday eve PPN for prolonged wintryness !

[loafer]

Tomorrow lunchtime almost looks more interesting;

I'm guessing that means may be less intense but better for accumulations and more of it turning to snow?

[VillagePlank]

Colder air takes longer to arrive in far SE,

I've already managed to put the wind up the Boss by saying I hope we don't all get stuck on Bluebell Hill again like in 2010, Really She said, I said yeah could we'll be disruption.....I obviously ramped it a touch and now we are leaving work an hour early  

It's a nightmare on a clear day let alone wet, ice and possible snow!

Not so good 06z

[Chris101]

Good Morning All, 5c Dp 1c in West Ipswich this morning, thought i'd come in and take a seat for what will hopefully be a nice long performance and some fun and games for all, over the next week.

I'm by Brighton racecourse at about 400 ft ,any chance the snow will settle here later ?

I am too.  We normally get it the same as the South Downs, but then go down Bear Road and it's always sleety slush on these occasions.  I am feeling we might be lucky this high.  Not a lot, but a little snow
