Woke up to this but as temperatures rise it’s blowing off the trees

The tiny pink blob hit Bacup and we had a light shower. Still falling very lightly and more lining up heading this way at the moment!

Snow flurry here at the moment. Very light, but can see every flake settling.
Same here

Very heavy again now every time I think it’s stopped it starts again and with the drop in temp it’s settling better

Looking at the radar, we’d have to see a dramatic change in course or a dying of the activity for that lot just entering Lancashire to not drop something across most of the region.
It’s still heading for us and the clouds are building fast!

Looking at the direction, that large shower currently over Morecambe Bay should hit here unless of course the Bowland Fells kill it or it changes direction at the last minute.
I know within the next hour.
I’ve got my eye on that too. Just been out with the hounds and it’s stunning!

After a mainly foggy day, the frost has set in quickly and the car windscreen was frozen by 6pm.
the strange thing is that although it’s fine, the door bell camera is showing what looks like falling snow so maybe it’s picking up the dampness in the air.
I’ve seen snowflakes forming in fog in Bacup before !

Latest BBC forecast shows overnight snow showers moving well inland so there maybe a covering for some in the morning.
it also showed further weather fronts heading south out of Scotland and across Northern England both later tomorrow and on New Years Day so still a bit of interest in what has quickly turned into a bit of a bore fest.
Yes it’s odd the forecast keeps changing one minute going west then heading for us ! Anyway we still have plenty on the ground but it can go now it’s turning to sheet ice thank goodness I swept the snow off my garden steps while I could. I’ve learned the hard way.!!
At least I can toboggan on my own on my own field if things get really bad!!-

Following a night of low temperatures everything ice frozen solid and this was a very brief flash of beauty this morning before the fog came down !

Yeah it’s an absolutely vile night to be anywhere other than sat in the chair with a bottle of red and on Netweather.
Interestingly the EA already has a flood warning for the upper Irwell catchment so they must be expecting plenty of rain overnight and into tomorrow.
then it’s time for the snow
The courtyard looks very water logged already. Just went out to tie down a garden umbrella and got soaked!! Let’s hope we get our snow

Hard frost this morning in Bacup. Then some very light snow - I thought I’d set fire to the chimney again! But it was snow flakes!!

Bet it got worse in the afternoon after the heavier stuff set in again.
I have to say after years of driving up that 4 x 4 track it’s great to see how smooth it is after the resurfacing.
But will the surface last. It gets such a hammering from the weather

Driving from Todmorden back to Bacup at about 11am today. This is about 1200 ft asl

2cms of snow in Penrith this morning with 5cms plus above 200 meters.
Strangely the radar only ever showed sleet?
Andy
Same here only showed rain and we got snow

It will be interesting to see what the band incoming from the east will produce when it arrives here as we already have a covering
