Finally, something on Twitter is of use...
This Map is updated from Tweets to do with the snow, so you can see where it is actually snowing... We had a dusting last night, bracing ourselves for the worst to come.

Don't worry, whoever hasn't got the white stuff today will defo get it tomorrow... It's on its way, folks, bigger and badder than ever!!Nothing here at all except for it's damn cold & has been below freezing all day. I really hope it doesn't snow tbh, like a few others on here i'm waiting for a heck of a lot of mail to get here that was posted some time ago
As if that's not bad enough the only day i can go shopping & have no fear of anyone trying to deliver post or parcels they decide to deliver on Sunday to

None here yet, hardly any to speak of all winter so far. I think we should be getting some at about 9pm & then a big blob in the wee-wee hrs.
The Norwegian weather service is pretty good, I've been using it for a while - great animated satellite images:
