    Hail, slush and lots of surface water on the main roads. If it clears up ice will be an issue. Would need it to come down for a while to stick over this mess so I fear Imby is out of the game unless we got some streamer magic. Hope areas more inland see some snow tonight though.

    Ground is really wet in ormskirk now at work, whatever has been falling has been melting for now - could be that ice becomes the main wintry hazard down here in the morning, interesting to see how it will play out.

    The shower in Southport is falling as snow the pier webcam which is encouraging at sea level but yes they need to be a bit more robust to get much out of them. Edit: and also survive the perilous journey inland

    Been a beautiful winters day here. A new batch of showers have popped up in the Irish Sea, I wonder if these will make it inland they’ve just been fizzling out previously.

    It's like they were listening It's a very extensive geographical area - they're covering their bases I suppose. UK weather warnings WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK Met Office UK weather warnings for rain, snow, wind, fog and ice. Choose your location to keep up to date with local weather warnings.

    I wonder if the Met Office will do a new warning today - the current one expires at 12:00. Yesterday's was pretty accurate, misty here still with a covering of snow still, working my other afternoon shift of the week so I'm curious whether it'll be a rare occasion of driving in snow.

    It is snow I was a bit worried driving back saw gritters about. Let’s get that Irish Sea a bit more lively! Seeing falling snow on 2 separate occasions puts this winter up quite high in the rankings

    Sat in my car at work in ormskirk waiting for it to unfreeze, shower inbound if it’s rain I’ll flip

    Interesting little snow warning for the coastal regions - I do love a Cheshire Gap streamer when they form. The Met Office don't usually identify them with a warning so I hope it isn't the kiss of death for it

    It’s always difficult to link weather events directly to climate change but reading the posts above I would add a major factor is the anomalously warm sea surface temperatures. In our small part of the world an Irish Sea even a few degrees warmer has weather consequences.

    Irish sea has been a shower machine today, we had hail earlier - shame it usually goes quiet when it could fall as snow. I think imby will see falling snow from this set up but settling is another matter. Happy to be surprised of course.

    Cold weather alert - Met Office WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK Met have issued a cold weather alert with their early thinking. This setup looks very nowcast, I’d expect some snow and ice warnings later in the weekend most likely when their confidence has improved.

    It's a quite pleasant, sunny winter solstice (where does the time go?) I've enjoyed the amount of light we've had this December particularly because this Monday just gone reminded us of how miserable mild cloudy dark gloom is. If we can't get snow give me

    Snowing now, very small flakes. Some of the ice is still holding on but I have that sinking feeling of, 'when will we meet again snow?' Hopefully not too long.

    Amber Ice warning for elevated parts of the region, struggling to remember last time one of those were issued. Freezing rain is rare in UK people need to take care up there for sure. It's quite slippy around here now that the melt has finally begun.

    Erm it’s lightly raining in ormskirk at -3 that’s going to be fun deicing my car later when I finish work.
  17. Mark_p
    The met office warning is pretty interesting - we'll have to see how it develops but there could definitely be disruption to people travelling and shopping depending on what time the precipitation arrives. I'm not convinced we'll see lowland snow but their video about it on twitter certainly ramps it before it turns to rain. I'm sure they will refine that area down over the coming days but it would be cool to see some heavy falling snow at least.

    It's developed an incredible radar profile that little low in the SE. Feel bad for those on the mild side of it though. Should be some good news footage of landmarks in snow.

    Some inland parts of the South East should do well from this but the coastal and low elevation areas face the same problem as us. Got a mate visiting family in Southampton who only reported rain/bit of sleet earlier. I just put on a webcam of Brighton Pier and it's just raining there. They need the flow to go offshore later or evaporative cooling to come into play. It's us being a relatively low elevation island that makes getting snow such hard work for our latitude.

    Been a strange one here, the streamer mostly passed *just* to the south.It’s currently snowing lightly. Missing the streamer has ironically preserved some of the snow cover from this morning. Side roads will be tricky. IMG_1414.MOV

    It's reached my location, it is snow there's no marginality about it but it's very light.
  22. Mark_p
    If it falls as snow here, areas further inland and with elevation will be fine. I'm unsure what it will be when that area arrives - I can't remember seeing it snow here in the middle of the day for a long time (it did with storm Arwen last year but from a westerly flow it's only ever delivered over night in my location.

    State of play here near the Merseyside greater Manchester border at 10:30am. It’s only about 2-3cm wondering how much thaw will happen before dark. Roads slush fest. Irish Sea could deliver more showers yet by the look of the radar.
  24. Mark_p
    Surprisingly woke up to the it snowing it has settled too, not a huge amount light snow.

    Echoing the ice concerns my car at work is literally frozen like a freezing rain type effect. Take care on the roads folks precip stopped here at like 2pm as well very slippy.
