Looks like the showers are getting heavier to me.
Not exactly Narnia out there but doing better than I’d feared. Another fun winter day!
So Lucky (compared to where I am) everything from last night melted. Had a small graupel shower that left a tiny bit sitting on the windowsill and pavement cracks. Got a sparse few tiny (re. microscopic) flakes that are just blow-overs from the moor's constantly drifting by but that's all so far.

Looks like the showers are continually dying on their ass just a few miles to my east but it is an snowing enough to put down an extremely thin dusting.
Same, considering it's basically been snowing for about 2 hours here now there's barely anything on the ground. Oh well, hopefully it'll pick up and there'll be a nice covering by the morning.

Still snowing here but not sticking at all. How is it not sticking, day time temps have been around 1C, currently just below 0C and dp's are at -3.5.

Just started snowing, light but decent size flakes, about old 5p size.

If anyone can tell me about Wirksworth? Its been on yellow/amber/red blob over an hour nearly. Some kind of peak?
39 minutes ago, DerbyshireDales said:I’m 5 minutes from Wirksworth. That literally always happens. Have no idea why. Always gets stuck showing that and always above Wirksworth. It stays like that for hours, regardless of the weather there. It’s not even snowing at the moment. I wonder if it’s a glitch in the monitoring/radar info they have there?
There is a high point there, gets up to about 1180 foot (The old Hooton quarries dig into it). Wirksworth's at around 500foot, so quite a gradient change but it is a steady gently increase rather than a sudden steep incline, so much less noticeable.

that is on heck of a shield of cloud forming in the north Sea, someone is gonna get pummeled!
Looking at the animation on meteosat website, that blob is moving northwards and is getting sheared westwards and ripped apart at the same time. It's the lighter grey cloud layer that's moving eastwards that's bringing the snow.

Everything moving towards me from the north and east is dying out and everything sliding just to my south and west keeps going.
Wasn’t expecting anything today anyway but it could be a sign of things to come.
Prays ferverently to Khione in hope that she sends some snow our way. ?❄

Brumcam testing..... Not sure whether it`s working good enough on my host site....but will be trying out YouTube and Facebook livestream.......I'm trying to get something up for tomorrows forecast snow fest
https://camsecure.uk/httpswebcam/brumcam/brumcam.html
stream and audio feed back is appreciated
Can't hear any sound, but unsure if that just because it's quiet. Plays for a few secs then buffers for a few secs (repeating).
EDIT: just turned my volume up can hear very quite music when it plays.

Throwing this here for anyone interested, this is NASA's near realtime orbital swathe satellite images of the globe. They have 4 different satellites you can swap between at the bottom of the control bar on the left. Should give some nice images of the snowcover if we get a clear day before anything melts away.

Getting the odd barely there dust 'flurry' that lasts about 2 mins here but that's all. *angrily shakes fist at Pennines*
Wonder if we in S-O-T could Petition to get the government to bulldoze the Pennines down to about 700 foot so we get some easterly snow! Cloud's could make it over then.

Someone wake Matt Up, we have light Snow in Chesterton, Newcastle
I'm directly East of you, and saddly to say it's now stopped again. Though looks like it's finally made it over the moors and is heading in fast

Snow \o/ ❄

Radars showing nothing over me so must be blowing all the way from Leek o_O

Now a bit of light snow but far too light to settle. Funny how that area of rain/sleet/wet snow came through earlier no problem but proper snow doesn’t.
Higher cloud base maybe? Wouldn't get 'caught' then.

Perfect example of how the Staffordshire Moorlands/Peak District destroy anything from the east. Just as I’ve been fearing.
Yup, been watching it fading myself Just checked and Cloud base is apparently around 800 foot, Moorlands to the east are 1000 foot, needed a much higher cloudbase to make it over.
Lest we got a bit of a flurry earlier though.

I've driven down from.Blackpool this afternoon and had torrential rain, whiteout snow over the M62, more rain and then sun as I got to south Leics.
So Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer, all in one day

Precipitation looks pretty heavy. That should help.
For me it just needs to make it over Cheddleton/Leek area, as considering the direction it's coming in from, that's the last major moorland 'peak' in that direction (for me anywho). Will be well chuffed if it makes it past.

Temps down to 2C, DP at 1C and dropping fast. May get that dp at 0 just as the precip arrives here.

Doesn't it appear that the snow is appearing earlier than forecasted. South Yorkshire and Derbyshire already....
This isn't the 'Beast from the east #2' This is a different thing. But because Beast#2 affects the south east, that takes preference over EVERYTHING else weather related on the news/mod thread.

Watching the main band getting closer now, fingers crossed it makes it over the moors

Seems to be 'pulsing' in little bursts. Big enough to stick around on the grass for a bit (long enough for it to build up if there was more intensity to it). Layer of icy slush on the car roof's/bonnets too.
