Just a few flakes blowing around now, in Lytham
-
It has been snowing on the coast here in Lytham since about 8.30am
not showing any sign of slowing just yet
-
Huge flakes of snow falling for the past 45mins, after rain initially.
Its very slippy under foot in Lytham so take care.

Check out the latest met office forecast!!!
-
woke to a clear sunny day. In the last hour it has turned to rain and wind.
Stay safe! those in the most affected areas thinking of you all
good luck -
Amazing photos, thanks for sharing!!
-
Very very intense rain here, Lytham St Annes at the mo with thunder and lightning.
-
mostly sunny, windy, Temp 5c
-
Rumoured to have done £3.5M of improvements to Hull city centre !!!
biggest one I have been in was a 6.4... pretty hair raising stuff, but I lived in NZ for years and you get little tremors all the time there
-
Hi Rikki Yes I think so.
My Hubby was downstairs and didn't feel a thing
-
It was recorded as a 4.7 in Kingston upon Hull on USGS
It woke me up and I'm in Lytham Lancs!!

Want Switzerland? - See Queenstown.
Want New Zealand? - See Westport.
(Westport's fairly recent campaign to attract tourists
)I'd say the mountain range has everything to do with it- down in Hokitika, there's a catchment in the gorge that might record 12m of rain in a fairly wet year, a few dozen miles to the east, in Canterbury, they'd probably be looking at maybe 0.7m in the Mckenzie.
Think Wesport hit 25C today - and probably will be one of the better places to be in NZ right now as it's sheltered from the southerly.
As for your story about shoes sticking to the tar in Auckland- maybe that is why everyone wanders around the city barefoot now
:unsure: could be your right about the shoes
Seriously though I hope the farmers get some rain relief soon.
Can Westport actually attract the tourists ...oh yeah there's always the coalmines, ooh and the seal colony, ooh ooh and the jet boat rides and while weré at it the drive along the gorge can be exhilarating during extreme rain.
I love NZ! I like to go back as often as I can, it's great for all sorts of passtimes even if it's just watching the tide roll in on a summers afternoon.

Wow thanks for that JO
I lived in Westport (West coast S.I ) for a number of years and it was very green and lush. Canterbury was always drier, but don't remember it being quite so bad.
Do you think the mountain range has anything to do with it?
My daughter says it is very warm in Westport at present.
As a child in the 60's I remember there being hose bans in Auckland, it was so hot the ashfelt was melting on roads and the tar would stick to your shoes (jandals) ugh!

Sunny here, with dense clouds heading south out in the Irish sea, I reckon snow for Liverpool... just a novice guess.
