I'm jealous. Just wet and miserable in the midlands.

Same just rain, rain and more rain here. Darn cold overnight though had to find something extra to throw over the bed

Havn't seen weather like that down here for a very long time can remember listening to the radio as kid for whether the buses were going to be cancelled and/or school closed. Seen the odd bus sliding around and cars especially we kids used to pick a good spot and watch the chaos was quite hilly where I lived.

Hopefully won’t come to anything.
The last thing the country needs is prolonged bad weather to put further stress on NHS and food deliveries.
They already shut one of the vaccine centres today because of it.

Noooo, snow tomorrow morning. The one morning I need to take my car for a service and mot. Hopefully the roads will be ok.

Looks like snow in the early hours here and heavy snow forecast for later tommorow morning!! could be interesting.

Looks like an east/west split

absolutely nothing for me

Weird as well how patchy it is - obviously high ground gets hit harder but some isolated places seeing quite extremes.

South Hertfordshire here and looks like it’s set to turn to rain quite early on. Heaviest when I’ll be out in the car, typical.

Yesterday was the wettest day on record here with 19.7 mm of rain.

Of course, my records only started in the middle of November!

No sign of any snow here and it looks like we're going to miss it.

We have an amber snow warning now. Fortunately I think we’re too far south/west of that band. Fingers crossed...and I was worried about my rear tyres getting through the MOT - they now might not even get me off the drive

Hertfordshire, south. Sorry

The met office seem to lump us in with ‘east England’. It’s a stretch at best.

South Hampshire coast here. More likely to see pigs fly than get some snow here :mad:

I’d rather see pigs fly than my car slide off the drive like it did last time it snowed and nearly took my with it

Amber snow? Must have been the dogs.........................

Looks like there was snow here but went pretty fast with the heavy rain

Can't believe how mild the weather was this morning woke up and had to throw off the duvet as was sweating like a pig. Snow, no chance lol. Currently chucking it down with rain.

Was looking at the DM website "london hit by heavy snow!" with pictures of a few millimetres of the stuff in a few spots lol.

Rroff · 16 Jan 2021 at 15:03

Yeah started to cool down a bit as the evening got on last night but fairly mild here by morning

not a hint of snow.

Models significantly downgrading any chances of anything significant through the rest of Jan now as well

though with the polar disturbances in the equation that can still change quite quickly.

Very mild, the sun has been out most of the afternoon here, I was sat in the garden for the first time this year

Bah, no chance been sat drinking tea watching socially distanced kite boarding (or is it kite surfing dunno) pretty mild tbh, ended up nice and sunny back in Polzeath
