Hope so as well. Fed up on missing out on every single snow event and ending up with cold rain. Not seen any snow so far this winter..

The Gritter truck has just passed my house so maybe something a foot around here. 
 

Still feels very mild though. 

Judging by the mod thread it won’t be a foot of snow

[Chiltern_Blizzard]

Rain for 3 hours then heavy snow for 3 hours. Hope it might settle. 

Touch too low I fear at 90m asl

I’ll let you know if this from the Metoffice and BBC actually happens in the morning...

I don’t think ECM will be far off, it’s rarely wrong at 12hrs out

After today’s deluge this morning it cleared up about 12.30 here in Locksbottom and was quite a pleasant afternoon although not as mild as yesterday(11.6) and peaked at 8.6.Looks a miserable day here tomorrow with a lot more rain and maybe even a bit of sleet.As TB above says and as I have thought for last couple days any accumulating snow will be north and west of the Thames and this will stretch into Midlands and Wales.There may be a little sleet or snow on North Downs above 450-500 ft so places like Biggin Hill may see a temporary covering.The wait goes on for Sussex Kent and Essex and that wait will go on till this time next week at least.If the latest ECM is anything to go by then it will be a lot longer but a lot of knee jerk reaction on MOD Thread atm so maybe see where we are in a couple days due to the continued volatility in the models due to SSW.

Lot's of 'could' in that forecast Tom, going by the latest ECM more of a 'could of'

I think we'll know by about Sunday roughly what direction we'll be going in for later next week.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Penton hook in Staines warned of flooding and to prepare to leave apparently.. 

More rain tomorrow and Sunday..

Cheers Tom for the update.A very messy picture for the SE For the next 5 days.Would love a few dry days for ground to dry up as every time it rains my back garden is flooding each time as just nowhere for the water to go and looking at pictures in this thread over last few days I am not alone there.Feels we are close to this cold spell that the Met office are talking about but there are a few hurdles to overcome first and as we know 5 days ahead atm is deemed a LRF!!Just keeping That things fall in to place for everyone in this thread and other threads to enjoy all the joys that snow brings

Tim. Thoughts in heights to settle? I'm at 90asl. But I think anything over 150 will seeing settling snow.

Don't know which side of town you are. But for reference last weekend I went up to Oving (about 150asl) and there was much more lying snow than in the floodplains of Buckingham park.

Looks like we might have some disruptive sleet on Saturday, whatever that is.

Cold wet stuff that falls from the sky, and adds to our very high water table, right now even drizzle can be disruptive to some of us. Rivers are very high.

It's 'wintery rain', according to the BBC

Agreed... and not desperately ideal conditions either in which to own a Westie... She's never had so many shower-downs 

[Snow Queen one]

Awwww Mac my friend has one too.  Always washing him.   Cute dog though.
