Yeah this exactly, I usually find the netwx radar (I still use V4 because I'm old) to be pretty accurate, within expected tolerances obviously, but this evening has just broken the mould tbh. Spent hours under positive returns with s*d all and now I'm under nowt it's all go! One for the notebook I suppose!

We can never really trust it because Dean Hill is U/S, so it always puts doubts in your mind.

I'm impressed that you've got a notebook though. I just forget and fall into the same trap year after year.

I'll get some pics in the morning, safe to say I doubt I'll get my car out.

Snow now getting heavy enough for me to go out with the dogs

[Skullzrulerz]

Could it be a cornish luck

Metaphorical mainly. Just keep mental tabs on weather, booze and ferrets.

Wonder if that heavy band of showers could enhance the weather front precipitation. 

[Duane S.]

There does seem to be issues with the radar but I’ve noticed before that there does seem to be much more of a lag with snow compared with rain.

Hence giving the impression of predicting the snow!

Perhaps, when you consider the time snow takes to fall in comparison to rain,then throw in the wind and maybe there could be something in it...

[Mapantz]

Coming down nicely again.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Looks like the heavier ppn is going to swing from east to west dumping a load more snow soon.

Looks like Oxford got lucky! I know we can't trust what the radar is saying this evening but, according to that, The heaviest PPN from the whole band is slap bang over there 

Any reason why radar has been terrible today?

[noggin]

Still coming down. Getting on for 2 inches now! Here is another train!

Not a scooby. I have noticed this before with other snow events though. Especially if the band of snow is pushing up from the South. Happened in 2009, when according to the radar, Leicester was under light snow for a good 2 hours and nothing was falling  It did arrive in the end though, just a few hours late

We all knew about the first two, but ferrets is a new one. Too funny.

[Jeckers]

Why does interesting weather always arrive at midnight?   Need to sleep but got to see whether this band is snow or rain!  I guess the dog will get a late night walk:)

[kumquat]

Still coming down  - about the heaviest and thickest its been now. Could still make 10cm here

My ex had 3 ferrets. I did like them but they didn't half like to bite me  Gits.

[CheesepuffScott]

Snow getting heavier again here

Starting to nod off but keep checking the snow lol.

Who doesn't love a ferret right?

In other news and after a brief lull, it's only bl**dy snowing again! Bit finer, but coming down well. Seems to have been a decent push in off the channel just east of IOW, which someone mentioned earlier may be the case.
