    We're going to get a covering here which is the last thing I expected when it started raining this afternoon. It's so heavy even the wet ground won't stop it.
  2. harrythefish
    Some of those flakes are an inch in diameter. It's sticking to the roofs of cars nicely.

    Just rain here half an hour ago. Now proper snow for the last 10/15 minutes, which is the most here since the spring of 2013! Not sticking yet though.

    It just has done! Huge bolt of lightning and a proper downpour within the last 20 mins, but fizzled out alarmingly quickly. Still, that's three thunderstorms in October, putting this month in second place behind July.

    I can back this up - the 1415BST display only shows about 3 or 4 strikes within six/seven miles of here while to my knowledge there had been at least 10 by then. EDIT - All of them now popped up on the 1430 run.

    Quite a bit of activity here, must be on 15 claps of thunder from this latest cell already. Building up to the north after what looked like an end to the storms an hour ago with sharp blue sky to the west. Surprised not to have anyone else reporting from the Manchester area by the way.
  7. harrythefish
    Lightning within half a mile (2 second wait for the thunder) and pelting down, has been for 15 minutes. Make that two strikes now. Rain easing off in the last minute.
  8. harrythefish
    Yes, it only sticks during the heaviest showers and then melts again. The nearest to a covering round here since February, though.
  9. harrythefish
    Big flakes coming down hard and starting to stick to the roads and pavements.
  10. harrythefish
    Well this is the heaviest I've seen it all winter and it is starting to settle, at long last.
  11. harrythefish
    Sleeting up to a minute ago, now definitely snowing. Looks promising if it's still not turned to rain at Blackpool.
  12. harrythefish
    Pelting graupel here about 5 mins ago, then proper snowflakes - getting lighter now though.
  13. harrythefish
    Just had a couple of sferics here. Starting to hail properly
  14. harrythefish
    Can't believe I gave up on this earlier when it turned sleety. This is the best since Dec 2010 here and shows no sign of stopping either. It deserves better than to be washed away tomorrow night.

    It's making that rattling sound you get when snow falls in heavy showers on a NW wind. Just noticed the purple area on the radar east of Chester coming this way!
  16. harrythefish
    It's both snowing and settling here so should make it to Stockport soon
  17. harrythefish
    Just starting to get a covering on roofs and cars
  18. harrythefish
    It's finally getting more organised here, bigger flakes coming down. Long enough wait for it.
  19. harrythefish
    Just started in Sale within the last 10 minutes - very light though. Nippy wind!
  20. harrythefish
    Same here, just been too mild today for it to stick, grrrr - nearly all Friday's snow gone now too
  21. harrythefish
    Looks like it's starting to get lighter around here, flakes not as big as earlier, and melting off some roofs. At least there was a bit of a cover (only 4 or 5 mm though).
  22. harrythefish
    And Manchester has the surreal combination of an amber warning and a 20% chance of snow. All day!
  23. harrythefish
    It's only a small part of Wales that has red, looks like the Brecon Beacons
  24. harrythefish
    Yes, the 06Z has a small low with 12 hours of snowfall for the region tomorrow. A ridge forms from the NE later but we may get another go next Monday.
  25. harrythefish
    Tiny flurries on and off here for the last ten minutes or so. However the Met Office 5 day has downgraded Manchester's snow to tomorrow evening only, dying out by midnight...
