I think we should at least see snow falling from tomorrow evening onwards. Whether it settles or not is a different story!

Every time I open the BBC app it appears to be intensifying tomorrows event gone from mainly sleety with a window of proper light snow in the afternoon tomorrow to a sleet in the day time to snow in the evening turning to sleet overnight. Potential for a few cms from this. Hopefully the sleety ends can be intensified to prevent slushfest.

 

Although I'd quite like my forecast to look more like the Moorside forecast mentioned above. Heavy snow all day, haven't seen that since i lived in the North East in 2010 and that didn't actually materialised. That Moorside forecast has 37 hours of consecutive snow. I think I might be pricing up rent in Moorside if that materialises.

Think we all know the apps are useless but i'd rather see them upgrade than downgrade all the same..

Its obviously nonsense to expect heavy snow all day as the warning from the metoffice would more like 26 cm rather than 6cm..

The apps are generally useless for anything beyond 24 hours and if you want a exact weather forecast; but they give you enough of an idea of what type of weather will fall from the sky.

Giving me hail back to rain tonight despite the temperature being the same? How does that work?

That GFS mean does look amazing! Let's hope it continues shifting slightly more south.

 

...though saying that it is impossible for that feature to keep up all happy, as for someone it will be too far north and others too far south! haha.

This week is shaping up to be excellent. Chance of significant snow showers throughout and if that low keeps shifting South, potential for a significant spell of snow midweek or is that getting a bit carried away?

Not at all D it's all about that low. ?

Its wether or not we just get snow on the leading edge and then turns to rain for a period before the cold air comes back giving snow and sleet showers again. Or wether it remains as snow at it passes. With the low lower than lastnight we have a better chance of this. But at the moment these models have it flying round like a kite lol. But it's definitely looking better and location has already upgraded twice today.

The GFS mean looks tremendous to me !!

Sorry, I wasn't being sarcy or anything, I'm just generally not sure what I'm meant to be looking at? Is it the fact the squiggly lines are further south?

You have decent altitude there- the ONLy issue is you are further west than me by a good 30 miles- that wont help.

Take a look at the 18z mean of yesterday  and compare it to the current 12z. You can see it is further south hence there are more ensembles in the 12z having it tracker further south.
