If you look at the precipitation charts of the various models, you will see that Monday was not expected to give anything significant other than a few flurries, mainly in the east. It is in the next few days that more potent showers are expected and again eastern areas getting most of those. 

Yes, I've been surprised to see any falling snow at all. Mind you, it's frustrating to sit at my desk and watch Dovestones going misty and occasionally disappearing, then it all fades away before it reaches the city centre.

Nice view! To be honest even if they showers were a bit more intense they wouldn't settle in the middle of the afternoon. The God awful sun is too strong.

The updated Icon brings the precipitation in the southern parts of our region, in the early morning. Not much change from the earlier output.

Or it's only Monday!

And nothing was expected this morning so we are in fact ahead of the game ?

John Hammond tweeted it, I have a lot of respect for him.

I hope it is right but I doubt it. 

Anyway, the Aprege has the band of snow in a similar location to the icon, maybe slightly further south.

Aye but it closed and was privately bought. There is talk of reopeing due to demand. Would be nice if it did as it's a nice walk

It does seem overly optimistic, having said that, if the SW leaving Norway currently is very strong and the low coming up from the south Stalls over the North then that chart could be spot on.

 

All if's and but's.

APREGE 12z is bulls eye for tomorrow morning- again, high res model should not be far out at 18 hours.. 

Fingers crossed, if any region deserves a change of luck, its ours!!

Well thats the very definition of on a knife edge !!

Will wait and see what happens the amount of times the forecast has changed today i'd still say its not nailed on.  Looks good for those to the east and south of the region though

 

[Wardlegacy]

I’m just in the Amber area now. Could be some fun 

[weatherobsuk]

I'm just inside the Amber warning for tomorrow and it looks to be a hectic travel day for those in Yorks, Lincs too.

Yes the whole week is chopping & changing by the minute, that low for Tues seems extremely unpredictable let alone anything past that!

[Day 10]

Another nudge West would be ideal for all.
