What contiguous an orange warning from the MetO? Had heavy snow here about 75% of the time from 8am till now, some local communities have been cut off and the roads have been terrible. Or do we need to be either down south or in a city to warrant such a warning?

Stunning evening sledging with the kids, decent enough cover of around 4/5 inches so cant complain too much. Be great to get a few more heavy showers but looks like things are dieing off on the radar

Just been for a walk quite surprised by how much snow there actually is. Looks like wherever the sun hit the snow has melted though. Bitterly cold and it’s already quite icy! Was hoping for a snow shower too never mind!

Getting a light flurry here, that could be it for now, could & should have been a lot better for us this spell, but a lot better than last winter. oh well onto the next chase

Definitely can cope as used to snow but can’t say the same for everyone

Big gap coming up in the showers out at sea.  Who's writing chances of getting a top up?

I'm due a blob in 5-10 minutes. Hoping something out to sea hits. I'm not expecting a reload but it would be a very nice surprise to wake up to tomorrow

I think that could be it for now, let's see how cold we can get tonight. Be great if the small feature can nudge a bit more toward us tomorrow and give a surprise fall.

The trough coming down from the north gets very close to us on Friday,which explains the meto.warning for the region,but probably eastern scotland getting a decent hit.

Can anyone tell me (again, this is a genuine question) what it is about the air mass/air flow that means this sort of organised shower system is currently barrelling in and towards Kent, where they are looking at another 20cm overnight, whereas here we haven't had anything like this?
