Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

Snowing 

[Day 10]

Need heavier precip, then it may turn.

[Snowmusic]

Snowing here now although fairly wet snow. But definitely snow! We’re at about 500ft 

[wrightc23]

It's snowing, oh hold on it's just bird poo on the window. Raining, cold, pretty nasty outside.

[Gary L]

Wet snow here at 200m. Looks like the snow line is above 350m! Not a great day for snow.

[Kasim Awan]

Does anyone below 200m have settling snow?

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Proper snow here at 60m asl

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

[Chris.R]

1.7°C DP -0.1. Trying to turn here.

[Spah1]

Kasim - nope

[Had Worse]

 Kasim Awan Its snowing here in Hadfield.  Tell tail sign of snow settling is the roofes of the houses are starting to have a matt rather than shiny glossy appearance. .

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, the amber warning for the Peak District around Glossop seems to have disappeared.

Out of our region, but I wonder whether the authorities in Flintshire are regretting their decision to close all schools today. A case though of damned if you do and damned if you don't! 

[Gary L]

Funnily enough the temperature here is 1.5c...

Before AGW would we be enjoying a 0c snow fest at 200m?!

[Miamay]

Has just started to snow here

Don't think it makes a difference, we needed more cold air to flood down and for overnight temperatures to be lower than what they were.

Of some interest for members to the north of me and on higher ground, despite PPN being light, there is a sleety element to it. Intensity is of course an issue but maybe a good sign for higher parts of Cumbria later on.

[Had Worse]

 A Face like Thunder You should have gone to Spec Savers. 

I've checked and the Amber is still there. 

[Mark_p]

Some big snowflakes are making it to the surface here now which is pretty nice to see in daylight I suppose. 

[Gary L]

It's clearly very complicated but I am very interested in the material impact of a warming environment. Would be great to see modelling studies to confirm whether or not it makes a difference, but you'd think it absolutely would have an impact.

[Had Worse]

Getting more organised. 

[Kasim Awan]

7cm level snow.

[Spah1]

Amber warning not changed

[PsychedelicTony]

 A Face like Thunder Not even much snow on the mountains. Will be travelling through Flintshire in half an hour.
