Met Office upgraded to Amber snow warning

[Norfolkit]

We've now got heavy hail and thunder!

[SpeckledJim]

Snowing in North Staffs now. Not a lot.

[benjj]

Temp has just dropped like a stone here in the Dales. A stable 6 degrees to 0-1degrees in the space of 70 minutes.

Come on and snow you fker.

[SpeckledJim]

Stopped snowing in North Staffs. Blue skies and sunshine.

As you were.

[SpeckledJim]

Gone dark and snowing again. I feel like my life is rocketing past.

[Puggit]

I think the cold front has passed over

OH MIGHTY SNOW GURUS OF PISTONHEADS! HEAR MY PLEA!

I've got a meeting tomorrow at 9am, what are the chances of heavy snow and limited ability to travel?

I'll be driving from Redditch (Birmingham) up to Leeds; taking the M1 at around 6am.

So, what are the chances?

I'm going from a bit North of Leeds to a meeting in West Brom.

Do you want to go to my meeting, and I'll do yours?

Just arrived in Durham to snow flurries and very ominous looking weather front

[soad]

Pesky weather, eh.

One moment it's near darkness, and short-lived ice shower arrives.

Then all of a sudden, there's blue sky with the sun making an appearance.

All together now - We Want Snow!

Looking at the hourly breakdown on the BBC website I should be in the middle of heavy snow from 1pm to 3pm, instead I've got blue skies and a bit of cloud.

It is also saying heavy snow for most of tomorrow, they'd do better to look out of the window.

[goldblum]

Snowing in Macclesfield.

[Smiley198700]

Clear blue skies and sunshine in cambridge - tipped it down earlier for abour 30mins though.

forecasts are saying there could be a few snow showers later but the ground is too wet for it to settle i think

[IroningMan]

Strong S winds in Somerset, heavy showers about, plus patches of blue sky.

No snow, temps somewhere around 7c.

Don't worry, seems to hit quick and hard. Just gone from blue skies to blizzard in Skipton within 2 minutes.

That was my fear, so we won't really get any prolonged periods despite the forecast.

Dunno. I've got a little niggling feeling that we're going to get slotted pretty well by this lot tonight.

A random side effect of the cold front coming over is that my Fitbit thinks I have climbed more stairs than I actually have as it uses a pressure sensor to track altitude. According to my calculations pressure has changed by the equivalent of 90ft in height over lunchtime here in London City.

That's quite interesting actually. For science geek stuff 'n that.

Snowflakes are falling again!
