If you were at sea level, I was going to get the snow shovel out!

Looking very beefy out to our west now. Showers almost moving directly west to east.

Just looking at that sperrin, wonder what’s behind it and can they last to reach the east coast

@Weegaz what was the site that let you see radar further out into Atlantic? Be interesting to see that.

Sat24 but I’m not sure it’s correct that it’s showing rainfall as we should currently be under a deluge based on the below picture.

I can confirm lovely cold rain falling here no chance of snow the night not unless the parameters change as we go through the night wet bulbs are positive across the country you'll need to living on top of a hill.

Better chance last nigh of seeing laying white gold.

Currently 

Dew points +1 

Temperature +2

[na52]

Updated 106m asl and it's still snowing 

[na52]

Easily on grass and cars , having a little more difficulty on road but just about 

[mountain shadow]

All rain here and I'm at 110mtrs.

Snowing here @40m. Colder air moving in

Colder air but the showers seem fewer?

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Hard frost down here, with the tiniest dusting of snow

[na52]

Good dusting here

[Weegaz]

Based on GFS, Saturday is the next day with potential for snow to fall for some

[booferking]

Dusting here this morning.

A wee town called Straubenhardt on the edge of the Black Forest....an hour from Stuttgart. Seeing a grand German lass from here so travel over and back quite often. It’s a beautiful area. 
Looking forward to a nice winter wonderland walk in the woods in the morning Snow is shown to continue until 4am so hopefully will see some accumulation.

[Mixer 85]

Saturday certainly not without interest going by Met Eireann report on Storm Jorge....orange warning already in place for many western parts and a mention of winds possibly exceeding 130km...that would merit a red warning. Mention of the S word too.

Mmmm 130km winds and heavy snow....

The latest GFS 12z seems keen to ramp up the snow chances but I'm not convinced.

[Weegaz]

Euro4 showing snow potential at reasonable timeframe
