xc weather has us down for light snow from 9pm and then heavy snow from midnight until 3am looks like you will be up late !!

Worth waiting up for, after all we're not normally blessed with snow

[kold weather]

Good to see these reports of snow guys!

Also, just to say, the ECM ensembles are broadly very good for our area on Thursday. About 85% of the models have 2-3 inches over our area, a couple have a higher jackpot, and only a few have the old GFS solution of going too far north.

still only snow mix with rain and the main front with the heavy stuff is just about to fully clear past so i fear when it does it'll go back to rain.. 

[Matty88]

Not so surprised at the snow transition but surprised at the settling rate - everything is getting covered within a short space of time

Still rain here in Chingford, NE London 

Yes, and we are normally quite snow sure in these set ups. Patience I guess!

Give it time I hope, what’s our chances  Thursday and Friday 

Looking much better on Thursday evening for us.  At this stage, it won't be a sleet-fest!

[LightningLover]

Seems to be moderate rain still in Hastings. Hopefully it will change in a short while! I'm glad to hear some areas of East Sussex are beginning to get sleet/snow!

[weathertoski]

Back to light sleet

Drove from Purley Way to Dorking about 7-7:30 (was there to buy some cheap warm gear for my trip to the Canadian Rockies on Saturday) and it was raining then very very heavily sleeting then snowing at the top of Pebble Hill. Driving down into town and it turned back to sleet but now it’s snow. I think the MetO will be spot on with their ice warning, there’s so much standing water out there - massive puddles on main roads. Be safe tomorrow folks. 

Might be worth me trying to get up Boxhill tomorrow then, if there was snow at the top of Pebble Hill..... that's if I don't slide back down, lol!

Mis spelling

[chionomaniac]

Hoping next heavier burst with a bit more cold air undercutting I will see snow

[Ben Blizzard]

Turning a little sleety here now in Rochester, but still mostly rain at the moment. Think the transition is beginning though! 

[Met4Cast]

Darn.. sorry, I left the snow shield running!

I've turned it off, we should start to see things turning to snow more widely now!
