Unfortunately the wind isn't great for us, looking better for this weekend.

Yeah mate in fact latest radar has beefed them up and merged on a tract that would keep us in it longer. Defo staying up for this one reckon it give us an inch if we're lucky.

Will go back after the cold spell. This usually happens in a 'real' cold spell because the forum is a buzz.

i'd like to think there's more than an inch if they can maintain their intensity

I think 10cm is nailed from the whole night tbh but I have a feeling we could get 15cm.

The conveyor belt from the Dutch coast should keep them coming in and now the showers are holding, it shouldn't be long before they get inland.

i like your optimism, but we've only got 2 cms here - difficult to see us getting another 8-13 cms but we can dream :D

Hi again Mitre. I thought I remembered the name from years ago! :D
I have so far been between all the action, but I am pretty confident that even my location will see some lying snow... Possibly within the next couple of hours. 

Radar looking good, ppn is now holding quite well as it moves inland and the wind should be veering to a more favourable direction shortly.

Another late night I reckon! 

Best of luck with your vigil at the window - I'm heading to bed soon as I have to get up in about 5 hours!!

Just hoping that by midday on Weds we can better guess the conditions on Thursday - I have a meeting scheduled near Exeter that I drive to. Normally leave Epping around 5am to get there for 8.30 and start the return journey at 3 in the afternoon. Usually hit the M25 at 5pm and its bloody awful without adding snow into the mix!!

Will cancel early afternoon on Weds if there is a chance of heavy snow en route but am conscious there will be a lot of mickey-taking if it then doesn't materialise...

Que sera sera!!

The showers are going to beefy 2cm on a shower get one of those every hour for the next 6-8 hours. 

EDIT: 1:25 frame has just blown up that shower is going to be the best one yet!

White out conditions here rapidly accumulating too.

1m of rain = 3cm of powder snow.

It was looking good here when the lights went out, probably about 4cm. Just heard the customary strengthening of wind that seems to announce each shower. Time for bed.

provided the wind doesn't change direction, there is a huge cell heading our way about 30 miles off the Norfolk coast - it will intensify and could produce immense amounts of snow

Streaming straight to us. Let's hope that this weekend upgrades so many others can get some snow.

Quick question... 

Although I have a subscription to the NW radar, I downloaded an Android app called Dark Sky after seeing it mentioned on here somewhere in the last day or two.

After playing with it, seems pretty good and user friendly with a lot of info. That said, anything could impress at first glance with some flashy graphics.

Wondered if anyone else has used it for any length of time and what your opinions are?

Looks great on the radar in your area.

Post up some photos in the morning if you can - will enjoy the snow vicariously through you!!
