Any1 in north east wales getting some decent precipitation at the minute?
Small showers and flurries, just a dusting from today's snow. It hasn't gone above -1.5c all day so nothing is melting, just blowing away.

Moderate snow here, heavy at times. 40 mph winds making it blizzard conditions at times, large drifts forming

Actually, it is snow. "Cumul de précipitations neigeuses" = "snowfall accumulation". It's no doubt overdone, but the signal is there for a snowy weekend next week, so much so that the BBC's TV forecast for the week ahead has mentioned it.
Cant see it myself, looks too warm Thursday for snow. Weekend looks more promising

Moderate snow falling all morning here, piling up on the existing snow from the past few days. It froze hard last night too.
-
The snow depth charts are wrong for here, load of fresh snow overnight and carrying on throughout the day so far. It has been snowing all day in the valley also, down to 100m asl (Mold / Yr Wyddgrug)

Snow falling most of the day here, its pretty deep now added to yesterdays and last weeks snow falls
-
Lots of heavy snow showers rattling through here tonight
-
Warmed up to 3.2C earlier today and a big thaw has occurred.
Down to 0.6C now and heavy snow being blown around in a very strong WNW wind
-
Ice pellets falling here and its warmed up to 0.4C. Slow thaw beginning.
About 10cm of lying slow, with some large drifts around. Below 200m ASL its mostly green around here
-
Has been a very interesting day here in Bwlchgwyn. Max temp +0.4. Heavy snow/hail showers with gusty winds. Depth at the moment around 9cms but some drifts now up to 20 cms.
Current temp exactly zero so expecting a lot more in the next few hours.
Similar depths here, although its difficult to measure due to the drifting.
Here comes the snow again, wind up to 50mph now too. Wild out there.

Thundersnow again!
Nice.
Where abouts in Glossop are you? If I recall most of Glossop is around 200m ASL, I know the pub on the A624 is over 300m ASL, you in that area?

So what's with this Polar Low everyone is getting excited about in the Mod thread??
They are very rare, and can dump a lot of snow if they make landfall. This one is currently dumping a lot of precipitation on the Outer Hebrides.
If this one doesn't die and tracks south it will pick up a lot of moisture off the sea and has the potential to produce a big snow event. It will also drag a lot of colder air with it, the models will need to play keep up now as its presence could alter this forecasted cold spell in a big way.
Saying all that they are very volatile systems and it could die out as quickly as it formed.

Gwersyllt about a mile or so from the town centre.
Gwersyllt is very sheltered from a westerly flow, the heavy precipitation would be falling just to your west. I Imagine Brymbo and Coedpoeth area a mile or so west of you have snow.

Am curious to understand why snow is falling and settling at modest elevation in parts of North West England, yet here we've had rain/sleet and am at higher up than some places with lying snow? (Chester Zoo, Liverpool, Manchester)
Wrong wind direction? Rogue warmer uppers?
Where abouts in Wrexham are you? Wrexham is pretty sheltered by the hills and mountains to the west in this wind direction.
-
Whiteout conditions at the moment!
The Ogwen Mountain Rescue webcams make for some interesting viewing!
A55 down to one lane through Caerwys and Pentre Halkyn.

Buzz off you've had yours already. Let the rest of us get in on it.
I would imagine theres a fair bit on the hills west of Wrexham. I caught a glimpse of Llandegal and Horseshoe Pass area earlier and it was white. Even Hope Mountain was white! Take a trip to the higher ground if you want to see snow.
Hopefully when then cold fully digs in lower elevations will see snow too.
-
A few cms of snow here, drifting in the westerly wind. Hopefully see some more action as the winds swing to a more northerly direction.

Light snow, moderate at times has been falling for the past hour here
