Interesting if you dip into the Midlands thread - they’re still expecting snow to reach the South Midlands and dump a few inches. A few are convinced this is still a developing situation and could all intensify and move north! Damn I’ll have to keep watching the radar now, and open the vino I was saving for when the snow was supposed to start. 

Who knows Wolf .... I’m undecided.

Will keep an eye on the radar.

Part of me says deffo a covering, whereas the rest of me say not a lot lol hahah

Look at the intensity picking up towards the M4 corridor - some heavy stuff in that.

Still no snow here  

I'm being very patient

We might need to give it an hour, or so.

Check the radar, oh look, now brighter echo's have suddenly appeared just to the north of us ***must not swear!!! ***

Looks like the upper front left the surface occlusion behind as expected based on FAX charts. Not something that shows up well in models that at best have hourly averages.

The surface front continues to advance slowly but surely north. Annoying to have the break in ground temp lowering via bombardment with flakes to initiate settling, but the surface front should bring much heavier rates than the upper, as there's less distance of travel in which they can evaporate in the undercutting cold, dry air.

I agree with you 100% as usual James  

Some on here are looking at misleading information and making erroneous comments - I understand the excitement/disappointment etc.  The snow area has actually been expanding (not contracting). Most models did NOT forecast the the breakaway LP forming on the upper occlusion ahead of the main LP which now may be spawning another break away feature or is becoming even more east/west and pivoting/elongating. This is a highly complex set up and is continuously evolving.

On the current NetWx I should be under rain but here in Exmouth, I'm less than a mile inland and at a modest 65m and it has been snowing for several hours now, often quite heavily.  It has now settled on all surfaces - about 1 cm on the road and pavements and well over 2 cm on the cars and grass. It looks set to continue on and off for much of the next 12 hours.

Live Pressure (UK chart is GMT and NW France chart is GMT + 1 hour):

Watch that LP as it should move eastwards or north eastwards. It sucks down the cold air from the north and maintains the precipitation. I believe that another small centre may form (or is already forming) off Land's End - the main centre is still over 200 miles to the west of Land's End.  The surface occlusion is likely to pulse north and south several times along these mini features.  The upper occlusion is roughly along the line of heaviest snow (red/deep pink on the radar) east to west from mid Surrey westwards to north east Devon.  The clearance in the west has stalled as part of the snow area returns south westwards.  It is uncertain how much northward impetus there will be from the current occlusion, the breakaway feature, any new feature developing or even the main LP but a fair amount of lighter snow has already pushed into the south west Midlands and south east Wales. 

The winds are increasingly backing towards the east north east and the few remaining less cold areas like the IOW will see their temps falling quite soon and join in the fun quite soon (IMO).

Yeah, I haven't lost all faith. And MO has some heavy snow symbols for the early hours too

Highly unlikey, there's maybe another 30mins left of snow to come unless the radar is completely screwed.

@Bring Back1962-63 to be fair and credit to @knocker he suggested the breakaway low. I’m learning all the time. Thank you for your input and knocker’s
