Perhaps some snow for southern England.

Maybe some snow for some of southern England and east Anglia in the early hours tomorrow. It is marginal and many will see rain instead, but I think that the chilterns may see some and perhaps the higher part of the Downs as well. Could be a messy mix, so don't get too excited!

yes they said may be -6 for tonight on last nights news

-6? I don't think that's likely, temps hovering a little above or a little below freezing seems to be about right I think. Funny tv forecast!
Mind you, the met office isn't even really going for rain tonight, tomorrow so lets see what happens.

Certainly still the possibility for parts of the SE tomorrow morning. Nothing spectacular, just a little taste of winter.

Happy joy! My only early morning start at work for the whole month (about 4am early Confused) I'm in a fairly weather-dependent line of work.

OYBBK I'm hearing talk of more snow next week in the SE, accuweather is predicting several days of snow. I know it's a long way out in meteorlogical terms but what do you think?

Headfairy, I think it might be a bit too dry for that, but I think it's the kind of scenario where snow can pop up very quickly. I will be keeping an eye on things!

The only downside I can see is that it'll be gone by Christmas. But it might put a stop to ds asking me every day when it's going to start snowing!

0.8 on my front door wall at the moment. Just looked outside to see if cloudy - no frost- or clear sky - frost-, but can't see any stars.
Thames Valley area. It was 0 last night at this time but by 7am this morning it was +6, so warmed up overnight as clouded over, I bet. Oh, outside has gone up to +1.6in a few mins.


No, thank you !!

Anything forecast for Derbyshire?

OhYouMerryLittleKitten · 04/12/2012 21:43

Merrycucking, no idea I'm afraid, I expect not tonight, hilly areas most likely. However, perhaps later in the month.

Babylon, not enough for sledging yet!

Just to remind you all I'm only an amateur and the professionals find it hard enough in marginal situations and this certainly is a marginal situation away from the north east.

Am further north and only sleet been forecast as a possibility. Hoping so. I really do not want snow. I want to be able to drive to and from work, and get out and about. Too much to do to be held up with snow.

I hope we get snow this year as I am on mat leave so won't have to fight my way to work like every other year!
