Any reports from what is drifting SW across Kent right now? There seems to be some build up behind it too.

I don’t see anything on the radar ?

I thought they might, but also expect more twists.

Yep, the problem is the ensembles all keep clustering towards cold or mild and the next run they all just flip to the opposite once again. Been happening every other run for the past few days, just no consistency whatsoever. But something has to give eventually!

WOW, tough crowd! Hopefully you will get parole soon and be back enjoying the models?

I might get my first taste of the white stuff, though very much on the periphery, and probably a quick snow to rain event in low-lying Surrey. Better than nothing!

[SLEETY]

Anyone in my area going to head up the ditchling beacon road tomorrow hope to see snow up there,its around 700ft and and from the car park its a minute walk to get to the beacon at 814 ft if its still rain at that level,im throwing in the towel on this winter lol

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Loving the sun coming out now.. Very welcome.. Hopefully some clear skies later need to get the Temps down as much as possible before the PPN arrives tomorrow.. 

 

Everything crossed we all see at least a dusting!! 

[Jamie M]

Sleeting here slightly. Mainly cold fine rain.

[m1chaels]

When I were a lad in the 80s and we got these snow to rain breakdown events often because it was frontal snow it would arrive with lots of wind (a wind and rain event but snow first) and after the warm up and rain the general cover would clear but there would still be massive drifts behind the hedgerows.  Are we looking at strong enough winds tomorrow morning that if there is a spell of snow it could lead to big drifts?  My location is forecast 15mph, not sure if this is enough for drifting?

Cracking update for our region from the met office. 
 

Forecaster confirms 2-5cm widely and up to 10cm in EA.

Bedford Eastwards to Norfolk should crack the magic 5cm

please dont be a wet out here just a few hours so i can take my 5 year old out for a hour or so is all i ask please please  

[Tom Jarvis]

@chionomaniac what’s your thinking for our area tomorrow will we finally get a covering? 

[NKentWeatherWatcher]

When the term "may see snow on higher ground", what sort of meters asl are we talking about?

[jamesgold]

Fantastic forecast for us from the MetO, really hope they’re not overplaying it. It does seem like East Anglia will be the best place to be, but I’m hoping here in Bromley (being 60m asl) I should be in with a shot of something...

Scotland

In all seriousness it depends but typically 150m probably better to ask someone else.

Don't say that IDO, Reigate Hill is our go-to spot when Surbiton is way too low lying for snow! Fingers crossed that everyone gets in on tomorrow's 'snowmageddon';)

And sorry to hear that Xander, don't let it get you down, keep up your enthusiasm and learning, your efforts are much appreciated around here and all of what you are putting in will take you far.
