Yeah it should keep the dust down. just a shame about having to cancel tonight’s bbq
-
Sticking here now, a cm or two at most but still coming down hard. is it to much to ask for a hard frost after it stops so I can manage a bit of winter walking in winter conditions even though it’s spring tomorrow.
-
Blizzard conditions here for the last half hour or so but pretty wet stuff and struggling to stick. on the tops I’d imagine it’s a different matter though.
-
It’s a good job it’s a leap year otherwise the February sunshine we’ve finally got would have been in March
-
Some large flakes of snow here now as the the cold air digs in. 5th morning in the row with snow falling here which given that this miserable winter had so far only given me a single time, isn’t a bad turnaround.

-
Horrible day’s weather although I can’t remember the last day where the weather wasn’t awful. one positive is that at least light nights are coming.
-
We’re right under one of the streamers, just a shame it’s nothing but sleet and cold rain.
-
Maybe it’s just from a different direction but the roar of the wind seems even louder than last weeks storm. the rain is just the same though, loud of the conservatory roof and no doubt wet when I have to go out later. so much for arranging something months in advance.
-
Ok if you want plenty of rain.
-
Yeah, given the sodden ground from last weekend, anything approaching last weekends totals will cause even more misery for prone areas. we’re in the amber zone here and Sundays flooding was the worst I’ve seen in the town since I was a kid so what’s the chance of having two 1 in 50 year floods in less than a week.
-
Thankfully it’s stopped raining here but it’s still windy. although the Irwell peaked slightly lower than Boxing Day 2015 the flooding here seems a fair bit worse than it was then
-
It’s getting pretty serious around these parts now. I’ve lived in this house for over 20 years and the water pouring down Todmorden Road is the worst I’ve ever seen
-
Yeah, pretty impressive stuff but the intensity of the rain again won’t help with the flooding in the valley.
-
A fair bit of flooding in Bacup town centre now and the road down the valley is now shut where the Irwell has over topped its banks. maybe not quite as bad as Boxing Day 2015 but certainly the worst we’ve had here since.
-
Flood warnings now for the River Irwell from Bacup down to Ramsbottom and looking at the amount of water running down the main road towards the centre I can understand why.
-
Curry, that’ll melt the 1mm of snow we’re getting next week
-
Pallet loads, you can’t be too prepared.
-
Hope so but I’m stocked up on Pot Noodles so I should be ok until the spring thaw if you have to turn around when the snow reaches the top of the tyre treads
-
That’s nowt, I’m expecting it to be at least an inch deep up here. probably the worst snow storm since the famous three flake event before Christmas.
-
Wasn’t expecting much more than windy and raining tonight. the worst blizzards for a gazillion years aren’t due until next week
-
Pretty wet and wild out now. We thought about going up the road to the local but after a couple of beers it’s time to open a bottle of red and sod going outside in this.
-
I think that the rain may be a bit of a concern for the high ground across our region and the other side of the Pennines if the forecast amounts come close to happening. 80 to 100mm isn’t looking good for anyone in prone areas given the wet weather of the last few months.
-
If it’s the event I’m thinking of then we got a bit of a pasting up here but it didn’t seem to hand around for more than a few days.
-
Out walking the dog and just got caught in a horrible cold rain or sleet deluge with a single flash of lightening and loud crack of thunder thrown in for good measure. absolutely soaked through but it’s still better than watching Emmerdale and Corrie
