We've got torrential nothing at the moment , not even a subzero temp 0.5c
Just dropped my girlfriend offin the town centre and there was very light snow falling. Typically, it was light rain by the time I reached Appley Bridge.
Had a 'moment' on a patch of black ice outside Rhodes Peugeot, so it must be colder there than it is here. Currently 2.4c and dp 2.1c

Well earlier today when I went for a walk it was still looking white, not sure if that was from before christmas or topped up today. Unfortunately, I cant see it from my house anymore as someone built a block of flats in front of it :o. (and it's dark lol )
I cant see it from my house anyway - wrong side of the hill.
Temp had dropped to 1c but it is now rising to 2.2c with dp of 1.9c
-
Hey wysiwyg - what is Winter hill looking like now?
-
Finally starting to cool here: 3.3c with dp of 2.7c
Wind direction slightly more to the north now.

Just had a peak at your temperature
Appley Temp 4.5C
Dewpoint 4.1C
Those are incredible temperatures considering even the warmer areas south of the region have reported massive temp drops. Tho I do confess the max dewpoint for us this morning was 2.2, now its 0.6C. Temp just about hovering on 1.8C all very marginal at best at the moment, but we have had some very wet snow / sleet when it was looking like being a very warm day indeed.
I just want to add our temps are rising again too.
My temp 2.4C
DP: 1.0C
Wind Dir: W by S, so we are back under the irish sea influence after being under the NE airflow for an hour.
Overcast with occassional light drizzle.
Yeah I have not seen any drop at all.
It always seems to be warmer in this precise location than the surrounding areas - both in the car and on my weather station. I am at about 60m I think but there is nothing between me and the sea to stop the warm air.
-
The problem for you, is your height at the moment, maybe this afternoon it will become more favourable..as temps continue to drop.
Plus, unfotunately, I am to the West of Wigan - if I was to the East it may be a different story.
-
Still 4.2C here and light rain
Fixed my weather station links too and got it up and running.
-
Good morning C.S. Yes I'm hoping we might just see a little snow when we go back home later. Fingers crossed for Cheshire
Just looked at keepmoving, up the M62, blimey they've got it bad up there
Yes, you're right!
-
I wish I could ski, but perhaps they'd allow sledging?
I saw a few people up there with sledges, but I doubt that they would allow you to use the drag lift.
Light snow on and off throughout the day here in Horwich along with very strong winds. Not settling at this altitude, but there are blizzard conditions up on Winter Hill and a light covering blown about by the wind up there. The ice is hanging on wherever it has been compacted - footpaths pretty lethal unless great care taken. Elsewhere, a mess of meltwater, slush and mud.
How are the roads? I was thinking of taking a drive up Winter Hill later this evening, but I drive a Lotus which is not renowned for its winter capabilities.
-
Frequent, squally wet-snow showers here this afternoon, with the temperature back home of just 1.6º and the dew point of just 0.3º. Must be settling again on the Pennines, but I can't see them so I don't know to be sure.
Hi OON
I was up your end yesterday (skiing at Yad Moss). Came down into Appleby and it was around 2c and raining, whereas up on the tops it was around -1c and quite heavy snow at times.
The snow was really blowing around too in that easterly closing the summit back down to Penrith. It was open when I went up with approx 2ft on the road then, so it must have been bad later on.
-
2c here and had heavy rain about 30 mins ago - not sure if it's still raining though.
-
Yeah there seems to be a better snow cover remaining down this end.
My temp sensor is located in a gap between my shed and fence, so maybe this is insulating it a bit.
-
Where abouts in Wigan are you Spurry?
You are always colder than me (currently 1.4c in Appley Bridge).
I am on the first nipple of land from the Irish sea, so with a Westerly this is understandable, but currently this is not the case.
-
Looking on raintoday, the band is readily turning from rain to sleet just south of Birmingham.
Temp dropped slightly to -0.2c here. Going to be very marginal I think. Few hours later would be much more favourable.
-
Just hit 0c here - not sure about the temp history as I have not got the sation connectd to the PC.
Looks to be hitting my area arount 7:30ish - how much do you all think that the temp is going to drop before then, as in celcius per hour?

My worst fears were correct - it is currently falling as rain
near Wigan and temp gone up to 3.0c -
Has anybody else noticed that the temp in Tullock Bridge (Scotland) is already -16c!!!
The band of prec above Northern Ireland looks like it actually has an outside chance of making it's way towards us - here's hoping
I just hope that prec of Southport now does not fall as rain here.
Kids have been sledging down my street all day and it is unbelievably slippery - a frozen layer of water on top of that would not be good.
Current temp 2.8c, so a little marginal.
-
Last post from me tonight.
Current temp -1.7c so still dropping even with a few clouds overhead.
By my reconing prec should give something for all of lancs / some of mside and wirral / possibly gr manc.
Goodnight all.
-
The blob directly to the west of Southport does appear to be intensifying.
Current temp -1.4c and still dropping.
Edit: By My calculations it should reach me in around 2.5-3hrs
-
-1c here now. Dropping quite fast.
Prec in the Irish sea seems to be bunching up and moving "very" slowly inland.
Here's hoping.
-
Had a great day today skiing near Ings in the Lake District.
Coming back, it was raining between about Lancaster and Preston, then back to sleet / snow here in Wigan.
Currently 2.1c with a dp of 0.0c and the odd shower.
-
Jeez......3.3c on Winter Hill!......what is going on?
Sorry should have been clearer - the temp is 3.3c at my house in Appley Bridge.
Actually its now 3.1! Yay B)
Now 2.9 after 2 mins!!!
-
Had some very heavy rain here for a time.
Took a drive up Winter Hill and it was even raining up there which I didn't expect.
Temp currently 3.3c and air totally asturated.
No sign of dropping yet.
-
Heavy rain shower just passed through-I reckon this may fall as snow in Wigan, St Helens area-still +2 here
Where abouts are you? Very light here right now - I'm about 4 miles west of Wigan.

Looking at the rainfall radar, it is posible that the very back edge may catch me as it appears to be starting to move the band of prec West. If this happens the temps should also drop on the back edge too.
Now that's straw clutching for you
Still 2.4c here!
