UK meteorology

I'm in Poole

You may be a bit too far south to see anything tomorrow, though that is liable to change as it's a very marginal situation regarding how far north the milder Atlantic air gets when it meets the cold Polar Maitime airmass sweeping down from the north.

I don't mind snow. Just hope they don't shut the schools. It takes me an hour to get to work in the mornings. With snow it takes 3 hours to get back to school. With the school ringing asking if I am collecting her.

Met Office have put a Yellow warning out for snow over the South coast however "However, there is a great deal of uncertainty over the track and intensity of this system, meaning that confidence is low in the amount and extent of any snow."
So get your mittens out just in case!

Snow shoes at the ready

High winds, driving rain and hail in west Dunbartonshire ... I'll see if I can send some down, we've got plenty to spare. And yes Chris, we're battening down for the next couple of days.

Take care, Johnny, I expect the precipitation to turn to sleet or, more likely, snow overnight and tomorrow.

Not really meteorology, but a storm surge/coastal and river estuary flood warning for fellow East of England residents/natives:

[chrisbell]

Risk of possible snow later today for parts of east Anglia, the south-east and East Midlands as a band of heavy rain interacts with a cold northerly airmass before swinging away to the south-east during the latter stages of the evening.

It did ... can't you at least try to be mistaken !

Changing continuously today, I'm now in a Yellow snow warning area...."Don't eat it"

 

[Padstar]

Well as I said, just lots of rain here

You're on the mild side of the shortwave yet. Give it a couple of hours.

 

[chrisbell]

Alert for ice tomorrow morning where rain/sleet/snow has fallen and is due to freeze.

 

[Count of Undolpho]

Just enough snow to be treacherous, not enough for snow chains. Interesting getting up the ridge this morning.

 

[chrisbell]

We have around an inch here in South Norfolk, thought it's getting lighter now and will probably stop in the next 15 minutes or so. Pretty heavy around an hour ago, though!

One of the lads who lives on the tops was driving through foot deep drifts this morning - didn't stop to make a snowman either.
