-1c with a DP of -3c here. The little frost-man stayed in one piece today and the frost on the grass didn't disappear all day.

Question about dew points - why do they vary so much over a short distance? Weather stations locally showing from 0c to -5c!

Probably due to sensor issues rather than there being that much of a difference.

12z ARPEGE has snow into north and east Kent now, the southerly shift continues...

All getting exciting!! this time tomorrow I wonder what this room will be like.? Back to today where’s  the clear blue sky that was promised today? cloudy and sooo cold currently 1.2c here in mid Norfolk 

Indeed, it has been disappointingly cloudy.  I'm surprised you count Attleborough as being in Mid-Norfolk, though.

[Ben Blizzard]

Loving the continued southward shift!!  Cor, it's like Christmas Eve - the excitement!      

 

[Mark wheeler]

Just a lttile more south please I’m right in the transition line now , I admit I have up this morning on events tmrw and Monday but the hope as Been reignited . Probably means a very sad ? day tmrw but the chase is great ?

Oh God its going to be a close one for many of us tomorrow. Absolutely beautiful day out in central London today, i don't think i've seen frost in central since i moved down here!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

One more shift south and that will do all of us nicely.. Will it or won't it

White lines are snow

colours are precipitation amount

Hatched lines indicate snow those bright colours indicate heavy snowfall.

Hi

the white hatchings is snow - if you look at the bottom of your image you will see the colours is the scale of the PPN

 

New ash green. 0.0c

[Nick L]

Let's not get carried away though folks. Those London southwards are still unfortunately likely to get just cold rain followed by some back edge snow. Beds/Bucks/Herts are on the very knife edge of potentially significant snow.

[Nick L]

Meanwhile, there's clearly a problem with the UKV at the moment so will turn my attention to the EC as it trundles out in the next 10 mins.

Thank you so much 

[Eskimo]

-1.6C here in Buntingford according to my thermometer. What chance do people think I have of having snowfall tomorrow?

It was certainly a busier Saturday shift than usual today, thankfully off tomorrow! 

Hi Dan, been a while since we last saw you on the local news.  

[Nick L]

Euro4 doing the same as all the other models, that's a big jump south with the sub-zero DPs. I'm starting to think the Met Office warning needs extending into Bucks/Herts/Beds.

[Donna3397]

Is Monday a wash out or a white out

The white lines mean snow, the colour intensity of rain. Red = heavy blue = light.
