I thought the MO was rather bullish, where as the BBC showed nothing but cloud half the time with the odd snow shower!

BBC's graphics is up in the air IMO because I don't know if the cloud is snow or the snow is cloud 

[Lazarus42]

First flakes in Lyminge! Fine, floaty... If we get lots of this stuff, on this cold ground, it'll drift like anything!

[snowrye]

Seeing snow will wake me up

[Daenerys]

Gah! Why does this always seem to start at Midnight? Tired but can’t. Help. Myself. From. Radar. Watching...

They really are rubbish, aren’t they? Between the graphics and the place names taking over half the map, I couldn’t make head nor tail.

I've just tweeted the following to BBC Weather and their boss MeteoGroup re: 'if the cloud is snow or the snow is cloud'

It is bloody freezing out now. Just popped outside, i could only take it for a few minutes. It's great that we finally don't have to worry about it being too marginal for snow or the snow not making it inland.

[SMU]

burst of snow - still mcflurry but better....

[craigore]

Reports now of light snow along several coastal areas of East anglia.

But nothing showing on the Radar.

Interesting

Maybe wrh the very low dps radars wont pick up all the mousture ^ we end up being suprized..

[steveinsussex]

Lincolnshire about to get hammered

[snowrye]

Radar is showing snow,but I cant see it,must be very light on the murr scale
