METO text now mentioning snow showers to lower  levels through tomorrow...

Euro4 out in a couple of hours  

 

Meh...can’t bring myself to care or feel any sense of enthusiasm about that. Looking out of the window at all the water left behind by the relentless rain kills it stone dead.

[Frost HoIIow]

No snow cover here this morning. I slept through my alarm clock but the missus was already up she informed me that there was no covering. Never is with the fabled SE flow. Hopefully better luck tomorrow.

Looks like a shower stream is setting up from the Irish sea.

[Chris.R]

GFS 12Z shows precip Friday the right Side of marginal so still not resolved yet.

[WillinGlossop]

Arome over the next 42 hours.... 2-6 inches on hills if showers align...only one model and run though....

[northwestsnow]

Hopefully the irish sea will be a little more lively than the last debacle.

Couple of streamers...of rain/sleet

[itsnowjoke]

Have just drove back from Blackburn and it was sleeting on the motorway 

[damianslaw]

Rapid thaw through morning here, saturated air put quick pay to the decent 2 inch snow cover we had. The snowline lifted to about 400 metres. 

Tomorrow evening could deliver a few snowy surprises to relatively low levels I feel, one difference with this upcoming polar maritime flow will be less of a strong wind - so showers will be longer lasting, and better chance of trough formation as well, enabling showers to band together.

We’re right under one of the streamers, just a shame it’s nothing but sleet and cold rain.

[WillinGlossop]

Heavyish sleet and hail.... quite horrible out there... wind feels raw...

Yep, hammering the front window.

Don't worry everyone, as soon as the cold uppers come in the Irish sea will switch off. Still yet to see falling snow imby but surface flooding is a concern - I'm ready for high pressure personally.

You’re ready..I’m ready..everybody should be now after the last few poxy months. Anyone who isn’t..well...there’s a nice rubber room waiting for you and a jacket which fits nicely round the back!

[Frost HoIIow]

For the majority of us tonight looking too marginal for any meaningful snow - temperatures looking a tad too high. Although could be a window of opportunity of a few hours in the morning. It's a different matter tomorrow night though. Temp & dews looking a bit better throughout. Just a matter of getting the precipitation in. 

[frosty ground]

Showers turning increasingly wintry now

Be ready it’s not going to make any difference to the weather we get. 
 

long wet spring looks a good bet to me unfortunately but it is what it is

If that’s true then May can’t come quickly enough. Getting off this soggy horrid island for good and crossing the pond.

[itsnowjoke]

Roll on spring 

[Chris.R]

GFS 18Z The wrong side of marginal again.

[itsnowjoke]

Like I said roll on spring 

[Miamay]

It getting quite windy out
