talk of marginality is nonsense. From later tonight until Sunday, anything that falls will be snow. The air coming is very cold. Even the BBC are not saying sleet and snow showers in their text forecasts but are saying 'snow showers'

Yes I believe anything out the sky after midnight will be snow. Of course altitude will help  anyone over 100m will deffo see snow  whether it will accumulate is another matter   150metre plus should see it pile up 200 plus and your laughing. If off course we get the precipitation

Completely agree to many panicky people around. Just enjoy and chill

Saturday looks our best day, Staffordshire, tomorrow we look being too far east for a dumping, but maybe not for a covering, but ground very wet

Agree with being too far east for tomorrow. Buy i'm sure we will at least see a dusting of the white stuff at the very least.

Altitude wise yes  it's just if the showers get here  even more so in areas in brum . Frankly is around 240m . Radar watching now. It seems like there are not to many showers about which is good let the dp s drop first

Yeah we are around 240m, many a times it’s been sleet everywhere until I get near home and it’s all white. I’m sure the showers will pep up after say 11ish imo

I'm not sure it's even possible to get rain/sleet in this setup. Forget altitude. Although, of course the higher you up you are the heavier snow is likely to be.

Also disagree with Staffordshire being too far east on Friday. It is one of the best positioned places for a Cheshire Gap streamer. All the pros are saying Staffordshire and Shropshire will be hardest hit.

Would that not contradict the idea of us being too far east? Or are you referring to Sunday?

Talk of dew points -

MIne has just dropped  to 0.4C with an air temp of 3.5C under clear skies but a strong wind.

 The temp was 6.5 at 17:00 so is falling like a stone now.

It has to be all snow by the time the showers arrive  here (looks like 21:00 from the latest radar).

 Good luck to everyone although those charts for Sunday and more particularly Monday look like a huge drifts for the area after a fall of around 8 - 12 inches.

It could cause some disruption:bomb::cold::yahoo:  

MIA.

We're at 4'c and dew point of -0.2'c here now, so the next stuff to fall should be snow :-D
