    Light snow here now giving the slightest of covering on the cars so if nothing else it shows it’s cold.

    If it’s not heading this way then not me but good luck to anyone under it.

    By the time that system from the north gets here it’ll certainly be rain as we don’t tend to get snow in July.

    The conditions on the higher parts of Rossendale are as good as I’ve seen them for several winters. we did a decent walk at the Bacup and Whitworth end of the valley yesterday and the only thing that spoilt it was foggy conditions although when things did occasionally clear and the hills came into view they looked spectacular. at other times though the scenery looked quite brooding.

    And I thought our 2 minutes of the lightest falling snow was a poor effort northerlys are crap for this far inland and altitude means nothing when there’s no precipitation about although at least we had a decent covering yesterday morning which has pretty much hung around until a thaw set in this afternoon. never mind, maybe next weeks easterly will delivery its forecasted cold drizzle and sleet.

    What’s left of it has reached here, a few light flakes only but nice to see anyway.

    Looks like it took the breaking up and dying out option.

    Any view that includes St Saviours and the park looks great, summer or winter but conditions at the moment are fantastic for being out and about. just a shame the church is derelict now

    Looking at the direction, that large shower currently over Morecambe Bay should hit here unless of course the Bowland Fells kill it or it changes direction at the last minute. I know within the next hour.

    The direction of the flow means that anything hitting land south of Morecambe Bay misses the East of Lancashire and Manchester and the cluster coming in that far north are breaking up when they hit the Bowland Fells so it looks like a day of missing out this far inland. Possibly a better chance when that lot arrives from the north later although marginality may be an issue then but it better than a train of mild south westerly depressions.

    Was just going to post that myself. fingers crossed for getting something out of these.

    We were to far inland to get an invite to this party so just a dusting here but enough to cover the cars again and a bit of a top up for the few cm still on the ground.

    Off topic but moving into Tier 4 at midnight means that someone has decided to set off all tomorrow’s fireworks a day early. I don’t think they realise that it was still as much an unacceptable thing to do in Tier 3 as it will be in 4.

    Oh bless

    Why whats going on, another failed snowmaggedon.

    Strange things happen in Bacup, that’s probably why they filmed Brassic here.
  17. iand61
    Showers are always a bit hit and miss but I’m sure most in this thread would take their chances with that.

    After a mainly foggy day, the frost has set in quickly and the car windscreen was frozen by 6pm. the strange thing is that although it’s fine, the door bell camera is showing what looks like falling snow so maybe it’s picking up the dampness in the air.

    Latest BBC forecast shows overnight snow showers moving well inland so there maybe a covering for some in the morning. it also showed further weather fronts heading south out of Scotland and across Northern England both later tomorrow and on New Years Day so still a bit of interest in what has quickly turned into a bit of a bore fest.

    I’m sure it’s exercise and that’s still allowed although No doubt the COVID police would beg to differ.

    Northerlies are good for the coast but don’t usually deliver this far inland but some of our best snow events have come from an easterly. that said, I live as far east as it’s possible to get in Lancashire before falling into West Yorkshire, further west it may be a different matter.
  22. iand61
    Yeah a good covering now and still coming down. I’m just glad that I looked out of the window before reading the posts as it looked at one stage like my thoughts of it missing us and crossing the Pennines further south may be coming true. anyway looking at the radar we should get another hour or so before it clears through so maybe a covering of 50mm or so in the end.
  23. iand61
    Fair bit of consistency with them. I just hope that they all show our region after the heavy snow has fallen and not that we have once again missed out.
  24. iand61
    It is and that’s why a bit of fear has set in in the Mad thread with some worrying that the snow may end up in the channel and wanting that rarest of late Christmas prezzies, a northerly correction.
  25. iand61
    At the moment there’s to much of a NNE element to the flow and they are barely heading inland but the main feature looks like it will be more ENE so hopefully will have no trouble getting well inland. this far inland though, that’s another matter.
