Light rain

Which area of Wigan are you?

1.9/0.1, dry

Still 60% of snow left here. Already icing up where it's exposed to the sky.

Exactly and this unstable Cheshire gap set up for Thursday is about the most unpredictable that you can get.

I would be shocked if Thursday didn't deliver for at least Merseyside. Thicknesses 515 dam, T500s -39°C... that should create plenty of instability. Looks like quite a sharp fall in temperature when wind veers tonight. Will be interesting to look at obs as the sharp gradient comes south.

Really heavy, big flakes.

Still coming down heavy, small flakes again. Not stopped since 2:30. About 5 cm now.

Thumping it down.

I've been saying for days nowcasting was the way to go. Glad to see my optimism was not misplaced this time.

Really heavy now, accumulating rapidly. 4 cm. -1.0°C.

Heavy stuff incoming. As dewpoints rise flakes will get bigger also which will lead to accumulation quicker.

Coming down heavy again. Got almost exactly 1 inch. -1.1°C.

Getting heavier here also.

8 mm but quite heavy still.

Met text forecast. "Today: An icy start with wintry showers in places, and also a local covering of snow. More general periods of snow developing through the day, perhaps turning to rain in coastal regions. Travel disruption is possible. Becoming windier and feeling cold. Maximum temperature 4 °C. Tonight: A wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow this evening with further travel disruption likely. Gradually turning drier overnight with icy stretches developing. Very cold with a severe frost developing. Minimum temperature -7 °C. Wednesday: Frosty with icy surfaces at first, then a crisp winter's day with plenty of sunshine. Staying generally dry but a rogue light snow flurry couldn't be entirely ruled out. Cold. Maximum temperature 3 °C. Outlook for Thursday to Saturday: Largely sunny and cold on Thursday with scattered snow flurries, these perhaps heavy and frequent later. Sunny spells and less cold on Friday, then wet, windy and milder on Saturday." not bad, still a bit conservative... I can't stand the term wintery showers!

Hahahaha

Much heavier now, that's more like it.

Still light here, have a dusting. Need some more intensity. -1.9°C.

Light snow just starting now. -2.1°C.

My station in Parents house Crosby is at 1.1°C dp 0.1

Nothing falling yet. Liverpool Taf updated. Snow from 0100 to 1600. Well in

This is my thought. We should be alright until the afternoon.

Yep

-2.4°C, incoming. This looks good. Colder than forecast as well.
