Morning, 

It's a good job there's posts like this to make me laugh in the morning otherwise I'd be going mad with the complete lack of any snowfall. I love the chase & analysing charts but I also love this forum!  

[The Northern Ramper]

How likely is the band to hit us Saturday?

Another sprinkling of fairy dust to cover the grey concrete roads and paths this morning but I won't need to dig myself out of the house, like they are having to do in Braemar (Scottish Highlands)

(A measurement of 70cm (2.2ft) of snow has been taken in Braemar)

Very cold though, and even colder tonight.

I'm not getting involved in it til tomorrow, been sucked in too many times already. 

[James M]

-7.4°c this morning, coldest we’ve had for a 

while!

[robbo88]

Beautiful morning, another light dusting.

 

[hailseizertoo]

So, it's D-day. Day of the fish supper. 

 

Having sought out a suitable area to place my tape measure into the deep and crisp layer of snow, I've just come to realise my guestimate of 6cm was only 5.99cm shy. 

Hold the salt and vinegar @Spah1

Another stunning morning, this time with a thin layer of powder snow under foot

Looks as though it dies out just as it gets here and if there is a second band, it will reach here and it will be rain.

No frost though. 

[Chris.R]

Admire your optimism but been burnt a little too many times with prospects of fronts coming in from the Atlantic against colder air for our region

Mid March 2004, the amber alert given by the met office for mid January 2013 only for it too develop a low and it all sank southwards. Early February 2012, for western parts, eastern parts did pretty well though.

I can only think of the front that ended the January 2013 cold spell that really delivered anything in the last decade.

Beautifully sunny here. 

 

If it weren't for the fact my phone is suggesting it's - 4 degrees and it feels that cold putting the dog out, you could have tricked me into believing it was late April 

[Snow free zone]

Another impressive build up of snow overnight here. Can't wait for the weekend

[Helm wind]

Hoping one of these showers roughly heading in our direction actually drops something of note this morning! All streamers this week have missed us but maybe this one won't??

GFS 06z coming out now.

[cheshire snow]

Meto going for -9c tonight  I am going to guess somewhere in the region is going to get to at least -10 overnight still -2.9 here dispite full sunshine

[Iceaxecrampon]

Ok  - the chart that transported the Fylde into LapLand and Sundays 00z

Do battlegrounds favour the NW? - it's all in the stall factor and it's a bit mesh out there this morning.

Cold digging in then for Sat - Sun front.

[A Face like Thunder]

Another lovely morning here in the South of the Region. Wind has dropped off completely which suggests that it's going to be mega-cold tonight, assuming clear skies.
