Well what a day of weather, this morning we had a bit of sunshine,
then strong winds gusting to 50mph + then some rain, then back to more
sunshine, now we have some very wet snow with flakes of over an inch,
settled on the glass but not on the ground.
What next?

Not very having watched it over several winters, or at least the map
that covers just Northen England and Scotland. It'll give a guide but
snow is fickle stuff and very altitude dependant.
This afternoon coming home from Carlisle it was variously rain and
sleet but nothing settling. Coming up out of town it turned to snow
and started settling within 10m of vertical accent. At home, 300'
higher, it was moderate snow and building up fast but it didn't last
long perhaps an hour and we hardly had more than an inch.

Yes, anecdotally, I'd agree. here in Bakewell we're surrounded by all
manner of microclimates, making it tricky to decide whether to venture out.
