After catacols update earlier I was thinking it was time to start the hunt for thunderstorms and heat. I personally am no where near ready for that….bring on bitter cold and lots of big dumpings

Back to working in a T-shirt again then

Gfs 18z....It wouldn’t take much for this slider to be nudged North come Friday to give more of us snowfall especially if the timing is right

[Arctic Hare]

Currently -1.9 °C here, the lowest I've had this winter. It's nice to have something a bit more seasonal, even if it isn't snow.

[cyclonic happiness]

Got down to -3.5'c last night and there is a good white frost.

Maybe winter is coming after all

[matty40s]

Down to -4.5c at just after 6am, no ice in the marina however

[stripeyfox]

-6° here early this morning which seems consistent with other stations in the area. might have to pop the heating on soon.....

 

 

[AltonMatthew]

A very cold overnight here in Alton Staffs with a hard frost and frozen ponds. -1 currently, wondering if we may be in for some snow later this morning as the front moves in! 
 

Look to the skies!

[MattStoke]

Waiting to see if we get a brief spell of snow before the front turns to rain. Looks pretty close to Stoke now. Freezing outside  

[Wingman Blue]

-2.0•C at sun-up here, still -0.5.

The approaching front has slowed on the Welsh mountains, should hit here about 12.

Yesterday after -1 overnight we had a high of +3.2, yet the sender unit was a metre above a frosted lawn. A classic case of warmed air above a deepening ground cold. Our lawn’s been continuously frosted now for 40 hours.

 

edit: I can’t add up !

Lousy maths

[Selliso]

Light snow in Loggerheads

[Eskimo]

If its just rain here, I don't think ive ever seen rain fall on frosty ground before. 

[Polar Maritime]

Just got back with the dogs, temp currently sat on 0c and Dp -2c. Looking at the radar something should arrive here in the next 30min so off for a hot bath then legs up..

[MattStoke]

Just started snowing ? 

[Staffmoorlands]

Snowing.

[Monkeypants]

steady fluffy white stuff here in st3

[MattStoke]

Settling a bit. Shame it probably won’t last long but I look decently positioned for snow showers tomorrow.

[Staffmoorlands]

Slight covering

Thick flakes, sticking here too. Shame that heavier PPN in Cheshire isn’t a bit further South!

temps dropping here but DP rising. 

[Neil Harris]

Light snow (very light) WS3

[Gord]

Snowing here now. Like others have said, shame it’s due to turn to rain at some point soon.

I’ve seen plenty of forecasted rain to snow events that went wrong and never turned.

Wouldn’t it be nice if, just once, it happened the other way around? 

[shunthebartlett92]

Coming down thick and fast here too! Echo other thoughts, shame it wont last as snow   But who knows, 250m plus could be a bit more exciting?

[wolvesman]

Snowing with quite large flakes and sticking on all surfaces for now which in itself is a bonus I didn’t expect. Suspect only very temporary feature though as slightly milder air is filtering in from the West.
