i am and its light rain haha

agreed

i doubt it..it does not look that impressive to be honest.

that is a gorgeous scene!

I will tell you why. This low is sucking up warm air from sea, and then pushing it westwards, where ever the temperature and dewpoints are marginal its pushing them to far up , so it ends up falling as rain and not snow. However in heavier precipitation (rain) it is turning to snow and pushing the temps and dp down. Unfortunately this is what we where to expect anyway. Some times or often times the synoptic set ups that you think are right, just never deliver, and places which should not be getting the snow, end up getting it. Unfortunately outside of marginality it is not a problem, but thanks to the irish sea there is always the element of it pushing warm air inland, and the only way to avoid it, to some extent is to get to higher ground. For example at 220m asl, your chances of snow will have increased by about 50/60%, go higher and you get the idea the % rate goes up, the only thing missing then is the precipitation, since your not really going to be marginal temp or dp at elevation.. this is what living within 15km coast will do for you, you have a significantly higher chance of rain than say 15km+ inland. if you really want snow, you should look for properties in northern scotland, highlands, you can be guaranteed snow there every year.

it is an interesting watch even if we get nothing.

i will take a rioja haha

its very selective and very localized snow. the coast has nothing to do with it, since it was snowing in southport, blackpool and liverpool with above freezing dp's. here the temp as dropped to 1.6C again and now the dp is at 0.5C which either means one or two things. 1 the precip is moving away as opposed to coming to, the temps have reacted this way all day and tonight or 2 there is going to be an almighty snowmeggedon about to happen, which when you look at the radar seems rather far fetched.

synoptics are just wrong, we have rising temperature ahead of the precipitation, and the dew point just goes up, once the precip passes the temp goes back down along with the dp, seems to swing back and forth like that, but to be honest there has been no heavy precip , so its hard to tell if would snow or not under the current set up. Also looking at the system now it does appear to be sliding southwards as it pivots and i suspect its going to be to far south to deliver anything the way it is going, or it could just be some illusion that it is sliding south as it pivots. i do not have the precip premium radar so can only see the last couple of frames or so. zoom out a bit on the radar then watch the precip over scotland then watch it over ireland it looks like a northerly lol

its been gash here, really gash all winter. last time it snowed for more than 5 minutes was on 26 december, as soon as it finished snowing within an hour of that heavy snowfall it was gone, like it had never snowed, kids where gutted

rain it will here, since now the temps are back on the rise. interesting it is now 3.3C and dewpoint 1.1C again, that stuff does not look that heavy to me, light to moderate, but certainly cannot see it do anything to the temp or dp

the last band completely missed my location despite falling as snow less than 1 and 2km away, now thats really messed up, considering it was dry here and still is lol

is it invisible snow or something ?

we have heavy precip over us and its dry

pretty much game over here, its been its gone and it never arrived lol i would imagine 10-12 mm rain tonight when it arrives

not sure what to make of that picture, is that snow , sleet or rain?

haha the difference is staggering where it is snowing and where it dry or raining. to my east in Widnes about 1km its snowing, across in runcorn snowing, apparently in woolton its snowing, and a couple of other places dry to

correct it will move over us, not sure where he got that erroneous information from.

Liverpool winter heat shield in full force, not sure how it got this far east though haha

cant be that close to estuary because we just had light drizzle, which turned into heavy rain and its just stopped

this is far to localized for my liking

look at the area where the tracks or whatever they are, and surrounding ground, looks like its sticking snow

just stuck my head out the window, and its turned to heavy rain now 0.o

this is incredible you are no more than 1km or something from my location and i have light drizzle

no thanks, there is this little window where i live where it is light drizzle lol
