Models are really struggling to get to grips with this LP and the potential precipitation it will bring.
Regardless of what the forecasts / charts are showing, some areas in the south could miss out completely and your neighboring towns may end up with 20cm....it's just so much of an unknown quantity still until we get closer and the hi-res models can try and nail something down.
My prediction is the entire south region from Kent to Dorset will take a hammering, it may even correct northwards to bring places like Oxford into the mix...who knows

It is switching almost by the hour between hours of heavy snow and a bit of damp snow/sleet here - doesn't look like it will last beyond midday Wednesday though even if it does settle in any of the scenarios.

Leicestershire. At the time, my high school (school years 7-9) feeder upper (school years 10-11 plus 6th form) school was another 8 miles away. Lived 3 miles from high school.
Both now academies for school years 7-11. The upper school still has a 6th form.
Some areas of Leicestershire you started high school in year 6.
People outside Leicestershire found our school system odd.

There’s no need to panic. Scare mongering again by the news outlets.

Am due to go to Manchester way for a few days. The responsible thing to do would be sack it off, but these news/ forecasts are simply untrustworthy and non sensical so taking the gamble with a well kitted out car (weather clothing etc) is the more reasonable choice.
BBC radar from past few days has been predicting a blanket covering of snow for weds/thurs, and metoffice nada.

Sensationalism and fear mongering like everything else the media reports. We was meant to have snow but its 0c and perfect blue skies. All those millions spent on weather and they still cant get it right. its even worse then it use to be. I wonder where those millions really went to.

Each weather app I have, has different weather forecasts.
They should all be the same! Which one do you believe in more?
