  1. On a positive note it is once again snowing albeit lightly. We are roughly 60 days into winter and this must be the 20th day of snow falling in one way or another. If you'd have told me at the start of December that snow would fall 1 out of every 3 days by the end of January I'd have taken that. Hopefully February can keep it up ❄❄
  2. If we get a 2018 type easterly again plus Tuesdays potential happens it should be a facinating 10 days or so. In 2018 the way the wind shaped and carved the powder snow was incredible.
  3. Pity this band didnt have a little more about it. Snowflakes have readily fallen in light to moderate rain. Temp at 1.7c and barely risen in 4 hours and I'm sure if there'd been some more organised heavier stuff we'd have had a decent bit of snow. Onto Thursdays potential.
  4. Yeah can vouch for that little burst of snow/ rain giving icy stretches on the road. Nursery run done in pickup and the rwd had the back end twitchy several times. All good fun and nothing we're not used to.
  5. Mix of snow and rain here. Problem is the temp is currently -1.2c. Rain is freezing on car windscreens. Hopefully its not doing the same on the roads ❄
  6. Staggering satellite photo showing who did and who didn't get snow yesterday. Frustratingly close for many in our neck of the woods.
  7. Nowt better first thing on a Saturday morning in January (weather wise anyway ) 20210123_091658.mp4
  8. It looks like you can draw a line from the Ribble estuary to Manchester to split the chances tonight. South a great chance of snow. North nowt much at all. Good luck everyone.
  9. Looks like your shower will hit us is around an hour. Currently below freezing here so will be interesting to see what falls by the time it gets this far inland.
  10. The met really are downplaying Sunday's chances of snow up here. Their online video forecast for the weekend barely shows snow into the Midlands. Very much a dying, sliding feature for the SW. Looks a decent sunny winters day up here.
  11. Another example WH of lower levels of GM doing well. Here at 200m there is no snow at all and I'd have to walk about a mile north to find it at at least 300m and possibly 350m asl.
  12. Heavy sleet, rain and some wet snow here. Shame conditions are not a little bit more favourable. Altitude could help today but the moors to the north are shrouded in cloud so can't comment. Hopefully less marginal by this time tomorrow.
  13. Great evening for weather watching. 2 to 3 inches of snow after 40mm of rain. As others have mentioned, its the sort of quick change in weather you expect in such continental locations as N America. Not sure I can remember such an occasion in nearly 40 years of avidly staring at the skies.
  14. Yes, this I do not get. Didn't the met office post an Amber warning for 10 to 20mm of snow in the east Midlands and East Anglia last weekend? Perhaps they now we'll just deal with it.
  15. Heavy snow here for last 30 mins settling everywhere but the road. It'll cover everything shortly though due to the intensity. Temp dropped to 0.5c now from 5.5c at 6pm. 20210120_211226_1.mp4
  16. This looks like being an interesting evening. Temp now at 2.5c down from 3.7c at 7pm. An enormous amount of precipitation still to come to help with any cooling. Unfortunately that adds to the 42mm since midnight so not good and this about to hit us.
  17. Getting to more worrying levels of rain locally. 38.4mm yesterday but already 17mm here since midnight. Flood warnings on the River Roch through the town centre and in Littleborough. Hopefully river levels stay down as the last thing covid closed businesses need is the cost flooding brings. There's also a substation next to Rochdale 6th form college flooded in the Boxing Day floods that knocked out power to this side of town for 36 hours. Don't need that right now.
  18. Definitely the heaviest rain of the day at the moment. 29mm since midnight but 3.5mm in the last half hour. Not hugely wet but if this continues there will be some flooding in those places prone to it.
  19. Well I'm confident we've more snow than at any weve point so far this winter. Can't be mithered getting a tape measure out but I reckon we've got the grand total of 15mm on cars/wheelie bins etc. If it keeps up we might scrape the magic 2cm
  20. Certainly was . The magic of meteorological physics ❄
  21. Full on snow now and temp now below 0.5c. And weirdly enough it is readily settling.
  22. Slowly but surely the splodge of raindrop on the window is being replaced by the tinkle of ice. Even if this changes to full on snow the ground is so wet I can't see it sticking.
  23. Yeah temp dropped 0.5c in the last 30 mins to 1c. Its on the change slowly ??
  24. Regardless of whether it turns to snow or not this week is becoming a very wet one. 20mm on Monday, 13.6mm yesterday and already nearly 12mm so far today. With what is forecast we could get to 80mm by the end of the weekend ??
