I'm still hopeful over here in Leicestershire.  tbh not expecting anything much.  Whatever happens will not be a bad start for winter (apart from torrential rain or a heatwave of course) 

[Dancerwithwings]

Staying reserved in seeing any potential snowfall Thursday into Friday until tomorrow (06z and 12z)

That low?   Although further south  I may see a few flakes at my altitude    just to see flakes falling would be great

Indeed... same here would be lovely to have the Christmas decs up and have snowflakes falling... don’t think it’ll be a covering here but willing to be suprised... it is 2020 after all

[Dancerwithwings]

Just worth a mention the 18z ICON is bringing its Friday morning Snowfall further west compared to the 12z run, defo over the East of our region anyway, that’s why even the METO have mentioned earlier/todays forecast that conference is still low in what will be happening come Friday....time will tell

Do you have a link for those charts? Please

I cant see any snow for low ground here in the west mids higher parts may see something tonight and tomorrow. This morning it's cold and raining.

[weirpig]

Modles  sill all over the place   0z  went east wards  the 6z  seems to have brought it back west.  For us guys to see some snow  the Arome 6z is perfect   if it had just been a tad colder   dew points  etc  we would have seen sig  snow    

[Derbyshire_snow]

Snowing up on the Cat & Fiddle no surprises there and it is settling now too.

[Gord]

I think the Met Office would have produced some warnings by now if they felt there was any kind of risk. Though I'm surprised they haven't for the Peaks as it's the first snowfall of the season up there.

Now snowing and seemingly settling on Long Mynd looking at the webcam for the Midland Gliding Club.

[Terminal Moraine]

The first sleet and wet snow of the season here this morning. Nothing settling though. Current temp' is 2.1c but in the heavier bursts of precipitation earlier this morning it fell to 1.3c.

Horrible cold rain and drizzle all day, been raining since about 3am with temp stuck around 4C. Despite the nonstop rain its never been heavy enough to start evaporative cooling

[snowangel32]

Hello snow starved Midlanders its good to be bk as once again we began our chase for a flake. Tomoz i can see a bit of sleet if the low tracks West and Snow for the peaks. Hope we all see a Snowy Nirvana this Winter. Best of luck evreone. ?❄

[Dancerwithwings]

Well I’ve seen all I can see now regarding any model output.....sorry I can’t see any Snowy times ahead for tomorrow that was promised yesterday.

Only the likes of our fellow members that live up in them magnificent hills will see snowfall.

The only good news for the rest of us is it looks dryer for most tomorrow.

BUT as all that knows me, it won’t stop me looking ahead/hunting for cold and snow ......STAY POSITIVE...it’s only the 3rd December

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate wet snow here, nothing settling as yet.

[weirpig]

Temp currently 1.9

And it feels bloody cold
