Liverpool airport did go for freezing rain las saturday, I remember. That said, they did go for heavy snow at the same time which was wrong. It will be freezing rain here today, maybe turning to snow overnight. Temp currently -1.3c here.

I'll Be in college then, and if it's that late then it will be just rain, rain rain. I can't live here anymore!

So what time is the front likely to arrive around here then? I'm going to have an early night so I can get up to see the front go through before I go to college. Temp currently -0.1c! Rubbish.

Temp was 2.1c at 8:00, now it's -0.5c!

Yes, I think you might be right, temp now 1.6c. Met office seem too have over predicted the temps tonight.

Well the MO have the temp forecasted to be 4c now, but it is actually 1.8c! A bit out aih?

Temp still at -1c here on the coast, not rising here at all. Didn't rise above 1c all yesterday.

just rain here now. It was freezzing earlier in the afternoon, but all ice has now melted. Temp now above freezzzing, 0.7c.

I'm throwing the towel in! I don't think I should have actually took it out in the first place. What a load of c''p.

snowing here now! Well it's gone a bit sleety again, temp -0.3c

Torrential freezing sleet for 5 minutes here, temp dropping, now -0.6c

sleet here again, a bit more snow in it now, ground is very icy. Ice on buckets has refrozen where I broke it. Temp -0.1c.

very heavy freezing sleet here now and I thought I heard some thunder a minute ago. The irish sea has woken up! Temp still dropping now -0.5.

Yes it was freezing rain, every wood and mettal serfice now has a layer of ice on it. Never seen that before. Lets hope the colder air is better mixed in with the main front.

heavy sleet and freezing rain here now, temp dropped from 0.5 to 0.0c.

So can I go back to bed for a few hours and not miss the front?

The MO have the temps at 8c on tuesday rising to 11c on wednesday so hardly an event at those temps is it. I think they're well over played though.

I will get snow here in Crosby, I don't know how long it will last but I will, trust me.

Temp dropping at last, 0.7c. I have a feeling that the colder the temp droppes tonight then the more snow the front will contain here.

Sorry, should have said I disagree with Liam. I can't go into the many reasons why it will be mostly snow, but just trust me!

I disagree! It will be mostly snow and freezing rain on the coast, just watch.

-4.1c here in crosby, -4.7c min.

had 30 CMs last year here on the coast, but was a once in a lifetime event.

I'll back BT up here, I remember many fronts that have fell as snow here over just the last 3 years, for example: 23rd Dec 2009, warm front from the southwest, fell as snow very heavy, 10 CM here. 13 Jan 2010, warm front from southwest, fell as snow lasted all day, 5 CM. 18 Feb 2010, warm front, snowed all morning, 3 CM. 21 Feb 2010, warm front, 5 CM snow, melted in afternoon. March 2010, several snow to rain fronts. Second friday in Dec 2010, warm front, fell as snow here though not forecast. This list doesn't include the many snow fronts of winter 2005-6 as well as countless others in the passed, and remember, I live on the coast! There is a theme of expect the unforecast with this sort of sett up. It's not over yet!

-4.3c here in crosby.
