Just missed the snow here in Cockermouth. The snowline looks to around 100 metres, with proper lying snow from 150 metres from looking out the window.

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

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

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

I can't believe some of the comments on here. So it maybe wasn't as strong as forecast on the south coast, but I and lots of others in the North and Scotland can tell you we got an absolute battering last night. Roofs ripped off, chimneys down, fallen trees etc. The most notable storm we've had for a long while .

Breezy here in Cumbria, nothing too bad though.

Well, I've been on here for more than twenty years and, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that you'll never convince a Climate Change Denier that mankind is buggering up the planet.
Who's denying?

We are in an unusual state with all the extra water vapour from the Hunga Tonga eruption. We need to see where we are in 3-4 years time when the water vapour has worked its way out. We don't know, but my hunch is we will have cooled.

My take on things is that I don't deny that man made global warming exists. The big question is how much of the warming trend since industrialisation is attributable to man made greenhouse emissions? I don't think we will ever know the answer to this question. One thing I don't agree with though is the shutting down of the debate on this, by stating there's a consensus, when nothing is definite. I suspect 30 years from now little will have changed. Then again I can't be certain and I may be proved wrong. My mind is certainly open to all possibilities and not closed like some.

Unfortunately it looks like the weather is repaying its debt presently.

Getting to drought conditions in Cumbria. The river derwent has almost stopped running in borrowdale for the 3rd year in a row! All the storms are clipping the west coast and to the south, Barrow area. We had about 5 minutes of rain in Cockermouth. Unbelievably no meaningful rain for weeks here.

May well hear a rumble and see a flash anytime soon. Skies going very dark to the west and a convective cell has just appeared over the central fells. Let the fun begin!
Dry in Cockermouth with distant rumbling and darkening skies to the southwest. Really hot today and breezy.

I spotted this Yesterday near Carlisle. A fallstreak hole apparently.

I remember a morning in the 90's in April when there was a good 3 inches in Manc. 3 inches is good for January never mind April. Not been able to fund any details but imagine a northerly or northe westerly with. Def no shadow. Blooming shadow!!!
There were 2 mornings on the trot with lying snow in April in maybe 1994 or 1995 in West Cumbria. Almost t shirt weather for the afternoon of both days.

If you look at archive BBC weather footage, heavy snow was forecast to hit west of the Pennines late on the Friday and into Saturday. It did come as a surprise as we don't tend to see trough features do this, there was a straight long fetch easterly flow. We ended up with around 5-6 inches, it being a Saturday as well made it very memorable.. had I known at the time just 9 days later we would then be buried in a level 18 inch cover, and cut off for a couple of days.. I'm not sure I could contain myself, but back then we didn't have the computer models, just as well!
I remember February 1996 well. I lived just south of Egremont at the time and it started snowing heavily on the Monday morning and never let up until the following morning. The drifts were enormous and buried my car on the driveway. I really need to find the photos which were taken at the time. One shows an attempt to deliver milk from the local farm, with the milkman attempting to get through a drift of maybe 8-10ft to the front door.

Fingers crossed
this stays on for the night. Looking white on the estate roads now. So far better than expected for my location.

Phil Blake yes getting really annoying now. We haven't had one nice settled spring day here and its mid April! Absolutely hacked off seeing southerners out and about in their locale with no coats!
