Im thinking the METO will put out an amber warning soon, rain means no gritting can be done so roads could become awful should even a small amount lie...maybe the east of our region would see this too.

I think amber is hopeful... 

Lets wait for it to turn to sleet first eh.

Right I have to go and teach for an hour.....I fear that snow hope references will somehow pop into a discussion on germination techniques and greenhouse elf and safety. Could be the quickest session ever!

To our SE I don't think it's hopeful, rush hour wet snow is really not good.  Even if it's only a few mm of the stuff - I don't think our region will get Amber, but the east of it could get some snow so you never know.

The meto will be monitoring it closely and not want to install panic if not necessary of course.

Raining now.

Hoping chap, problem is I'm in work today so I might have to claim it via a webcam which someone conveniently has across the road from me!

Yep, going to take this opportunity to get some work done as watching climbing temperatures is about as much fun as Ebola

METO and BBC web now back to 2 hours of heavy snow - I've never seen so much flip flop, I can't see it changing back to 3 unless the front stalls a little

2 hours is still not bad though. Especially if it's big wet flakes!

I think most of us would just like to see some falling to be honest.

Get back to work karlos

I'm so weak lasted roughly 30 mins lol. I think it's clear it won't be a productive day.. good job I don't have a boss eh 

[jethro]

I have my solution....I've got lots of pics of my garden covered in snow, lots taken from the perspective of just outside the French windows, so.....if I get the best looking one with the deepest snow printed on a roller blind, I can just unfurl it when the forecast fails to deliver the dream. Other than a couple of confused spaniels excitedly wanting to play outside, what could possibly go wrong?

Good Morning Guys

Long time lurker here, been a member for probably 5 years on and off and thought it was about time I popped my head round the door to say hello to my fellow South/South West residents .

An interesting day weather wise, hope at least some of us see the white stuff .

I will keep you posted from here in sunny sunny Bournemouth!!  Actually just started to rain lol

[Nights King]

So can we expect temperatures to peak sometime soon before a slow decline after 12pm maybe?

God if i hit refresh any more times on my weather station...  sitting at 4.0c now
