multi cellular thunderstorm

Same here, rain most of the afternoon but gradually changed to sleet the light snow. Stopped now.

Light snow shower in Stanley.

Raining here now, wasn't expecting this.

Hammond has just said they'll "firm up" on mondays details over the weekend.

They're not going over the top suprisingly: "Week beginning 27/02 A cold start to the week is expected. In Scotland and northern areas sleet or snow showers are likely to develop widely giving significant accumulations of snow in places, especially over higher ground. Further south drier conditions are likely, although there is the prospect of some mainly showery rain, sleet or snow developing at times. Conditions look set to remain cold and rather wintry during the middle part of the week, although by the weekend there are indications that it will turn milder once again."

TWO usually updates this evening. Keep an eye out for one of their dramatic cold ramping headlines. Maybe something like: "Chaos ahead as northerly approaches" "Britain to be gripped by big freeze" "Big freeze ahead - stock up on essentials"

almost blizzard conditions one time during the night. Started as heavy hail the started turning to snow but stopped. It was just starting to dust the roads and cars. All gone now though.

Just had a shower, started as mostly rain with the odd flake of snow then suddenly 100% snow, heavy with gusty winds <_< . Stopped now but could be an interesting night ahead

I'll certainly be ready to give snow reports from here in Stanley (just over 600ft) as soon as I see any flakes. Just a few hailstones sofar today. Mostly clear and sunny now.

A few hail showers this morning in Stanley. Quite clear now. B)

Please post your weather reports here... Hope the mods don't mind me startin it

Monday 20th to Sunday 26th February This week continues on the depression theme for the most part - low pressure will still bring mild, wet and rather windy conditions for many parts of the UK, with the wettest weather likely to be in the northeast. However, high pressure could be building from the south from midweek onwards. The wind will still be westerly, so it should stay mild, but the weather itself looks to be settling down somewhat, especially in southern areas. Most places should still see average rainfall, but in the south that may not amount to much. With more settled conditions, overnight temperatures may well dip low enough for some local ground frost to develop, but this shouldn't be too sharp. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/monthly_outlook.shtml They got it all wrong for this week coming. http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif Don't know why they bother with the monthly outlook, just gives them a worse reputation. They should just stick to going 5 days ahead max. then most likely they will be right.

Net-weather homepage says thunder and lightning at Glasgow. Have you heard anything?

What a night! Heavy rain and strong winds now. Time to go to bed and listen B)

A few grains of snow spotted here. Look at this though in Eskdalemuir, a nice little covering.

Just been on a driving lesson down to the coast (south shields) and there are plenty of snow showers around and dark skies. Only settling in corners :lol:

A few flakes of snow falling here, gradually getting heavier :lol: (Jarrow, Tyne and Wear) Not much but it's better than nothing :lol:

Raining here in Stanley aswell, quite heavy sometimes. Looks like the Lake District is getting a bit wet :blink: http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather/europ...ta/3EF_PS_0.GIF

Sunny A little chilly but not like the last few days. Also just got this from a Cumbria webcam, looks a bit strange.

Clear with a thick white frost here. I have recently spoke to a friend lower down than here in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear. He says very dense fog. Thickest he has ever seen By his description I would say <50m. Too high up here
