said that in the model thread, 12Z still gives most of area snow on Fri but less and mainly W/NW

UKV is singing that as well from thurs to Saturday 

[Dancerwithwings]

The end of this week is still looking very wintry, but after this  I’ll say this...the SSW has just started so all models will be all over the place atm, even the top man at the METO is stating this

Apparently we got -6 850s over us right now and all we getting is rain showers!!i fear for the next couple of days!!!

They are turning though as they hit Stoke area.  Maybe  the DPS are starting to come down

[Ryukai]

Been keeping an eye on the radar and windows all day, nothing interesting happening here though  All the fun stuff is fully dumping up on the moor's

Yh alot of model uncertainty at the moment but looks like a snowy breakdown Thursday and Friday. Next up SSW will it be favorable for our little island.

Just had about 3 mins worth of spotting rain, but that's all so far today.  Though looking at the radar now, the precip has finally started pushing past the moors and making it past Leek.

 

Also temps are just under 3C with dp's at 1.5, so no chance for anything frozen atm.

It's raining in stoke now

bbc had the rain showers rattling in tomorrow, feel it's too early yet for E'lys to be cold, best time from Mid Feb to late March when north sea is at it's coldest

Also the issue that the synoptic setup hasnt allowed cold air to filtrate across northern europe i dont think this year. Looks like poland and germany has had above average temperatures on the whole? Also its a deep rooted easterly flow which has moderated those 850 hPa temps.

I could relate to many a year when Dec,Jan and Feb regarding a cold easterly has happened, you make out that Feb to March is the only time that easterlies are cold....sorry if that’s the case your stating that’s wrong

Sleet/wet snow here now, started as rain

[Midlander]

Sleet shower now, was rain but then the intensity changed it over, more flakes being added 

Another day of snowfall to add, although its really just making everything wet - not complaining though!

Heavy rain here. A few flakes mixed in.

Ah well, we have done very well so our luck was due to run out.

Really lashing it down out there...horrid.

Aye, think this cold spell on it's last legs, not sure if any remaining snow will survive the night, wish could just have clear skies

[Gord]

I have a hunch we’ll see more this winter.

Winter’s these days seem to be all or nothing. We don’t seem to get poor winters with the odd snowy interlude any more. 

It’s either a winter with a few snowy events, or a winter with nothing at all.

Sadly, I have no science to back it up. 
 

The last week has been good...but we all know better is possible.

And for the majority of Southern England, it’s been a very poor cold spell so far. So for them at least, let’s hope better is on the way. 

[nobble]

Drizzle here , snow will hang on it patches to allow day 8 of snow on the ground but not sure much longer 

our snowman will be here for a week at least , even if in blob form towards the end of his life

[Gord]

The stream of showers is at an absolute perfect angle, and it’s all rain!

Normal service is resumed.

Hopefully a true easterly will come at some point this winter.

[sheikhy]

Let me tell you whats going to happen!!the showers are streaming in perfectly but its all rain but what will happen is when it does get colder later on for snow the showers will die away as if by magic!!!

That sort of confidence will see us do well i personally think from 10pm tonight any heavier showers if there are any will be snow and all showers snow from 1am ish until the warmest part of the day tomoz which may see showers of sleet unless fairly hefty but from tomorrow evening through till weds we should be fine so long as there is some precip.
