Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Chris.R]

Small window of opportunity for some heavy showers with possible lightning this afternoon with very cold air aloft.

[shadowfax]

this time it much heavier and settling everywhere. 

 

 

 

[Scuba steve]

As expected cold moderate rain ,not nice out with the wind 

[Pendlesnow]

Rain fall radar says sleet for my location but been snowing since 11 and now got 50 p snowflakes won’t take long for Jimmy to get a covering at this rate

[Had Worse]

Looking towards the Snake Pass.

Big clouds with dark bases to my South and South West.

Just cold rain here, current temp 4.4 degrees, a colder day than most in February.

Suspect the fells are receiving a good dosing. 

Weekend set rather cold, tomorrow wintry showers, Sunday cloudy and cold.

An unspringlike start to March, spring tends to take until the equinox to kick in fully, first half of March often has a winter-spring tug o' war feel.. 

[Dark Horse]

Seems like it was a 400m+ affair today as I look east. Only the highest hills have any sort of covering. Below this nasty cold rain.

[russwirral]

The Lake District fells will be doing well today... front has stalled over them.  Deep snow over the tops

[damianslaw]

 russwirral Yes there are deep pink colours over the fells, its cold rain here, current temp a raw 3 degrees. No first day in spring Friday feeling here...

[Joe Snow]

A foul start to meteorological Spring  this morning heavy cold rain but a better core of the day than expected with a brighter clearance,  even some brief spells of sunshine & the odd shower. Cold out of the sun & in the wind. 

[James M]

Snow line seems to be about 350m here today. Looks like a decent amount on Marsden Moor, very white.

[Had Worse]

Anyone for a cloudbow 

[cumbrian ice]

Cold rain in Cockermouth. Temperatures are forecast to fall slightly, so we may get sleety later. 

[carl1980]

4°c falling our road has just been gritted 

[Weather-history]

1/6th of the year has gone already and its Easter next month. Gee....the passage of time seems to increase as you get older.

[iand61]

Still a covering of snow on the grass and roofs up here from the two or three cm that fell from mid morning until mid afternoon.

not a bad effort in the end but it didn’t take long for the sun to break through and clear if off the drive before I got home.

saved me a job.

[severe snowstorm]

As expected here, a spell of heavy rain this morning, not even a hint of sleet. Like the last event, around a 1000 feet or more needed for proper falling and settling snow ot seems.

[Joe Snow]

 severe snowstorm Tomorrow looks yucky on the latest 12z GFS too down these parts - showery cold rain maybe a touch sleety at times 3-5c the max At least we got a bit of brightness today however brief. 

[severe snowstorm]

 Joe Snow Yes, at least the band of rain was relatively narrow and the worst of it moved through this morning. Tomorrow definitely looking grim, not the best start to meteorological spring.

[itsnowjoke]

 severe snowstorm you need to get higher 

I had sleet then snow which didn’t lie only over Pendle hill and Todmorden way

[cumbrian ice]

As suspected sleet has been falling here for the last couple of hours. I reckon there'll be a pasting higher up

[damianslaw]

Will be interesting to see where the snowline is in the morning. There has been a good 8 hrs of snow on the tops today.. current temp 2.7 degrees. 400m is my reckoning. A snowy weekend on the fells.

[cumbrian ice]

Whinlatter car park is exactly 300m, I'm hoping I'll be able to take the kids up there in the morning 

[damianslaw]

 cumbrian ice May be a sleety cover at that level, but will probably need to go up to about 450m to guarantee a decent cover.. we shall see.

[raul_sbd]

1.4c … colder than predicted by MO
