Snow risk in next 48 hoursThere will be showers around in the next couple of days, and some of them will fall as snow. I’ve pasted in the GFS precipitation type chart for 18GMT Friday 26th October, and as you can see, the hatched areas highlighting the possibility of snow showers are quite extensive. It looks as though the greatest risk will be in the north, although the odd shower could make it to the south, and overnight East Anglia and Kent and Essex could see a few showers with some snow flakes mixed in! If it does snow in your locality [/font][/color]

Horizontal sleet at mo in North Yorkshire, sky very black and temperature is dropping fast.
No wonder pigs went straight back to bed after brekky this morning, they're great weather forecaster. ;D

We've just had the first snow storm of the season... Only lasted about 15 minutes - snow wasn't really falling, but blowing about horizontally! And now  the sun is coming out again... ::)

I have it on good authority that the farmers in this part of the country are expecting a very long and hard winter. Lovely!!!!! :gloomy:

Ha, I can think of worse places to be snowed in  :D

It's gone very cold here in Cumbria but its bright and dry still. Long may that last (ie all next week, when I'm off and have a hundred jobs to do). Sadly the forecast is for lots of cold rain  :gloomy:

WHOA!! Where the hell did that come from!?!?!

Ten minutes ago, I was walking about in bright sunshine working out where to plant our raspberry canes. Came inside to order them, then noticed it had suddenly got windy...... and lo and behold it's now snowing hard!!

We've had a bit of sleet and some hail here in North Wales this afternoon. Temp has dropped to 4 degrees now.
