Pallet loads, you can’t be too prepared.

I will dig myself out get my snow tyres on then rescue you
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

1/2” drifts ...... I’m all over it
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.

Been able to hear the wind for the last 10 mins or so. Just dipped into the Ireland thread, it seems the rain has become more of a concern than the wind at the moment.
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.

Why?
Doesn't mention North West.
I was 14 in 1991.
Did it snow in Lancashire?
I hear a lot about 1991 but not sure what happened.
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

Springlike?!! Very icy here with a low of -2 and a high of 3 so a cold winter day with frost persisting in places. Nice and sunny but a day for wrapping up!
Agree with a frosty start but it got to 8c here and felt decent in the sun.
it’s gone cold again now though.

Well, if we can’t end the year with ice and snow then today’s sunshine and springlike conditions are a decent consolation and certainly a welcome improvement over the drab crap of the last few days.
a bit coolish out of the sun but good for being outside and a few hours work means that all of the front of the house has had a good power wash.

A bit of a covering here but given last nights charts I was expecting more.
never mild at least it doesn’t mess up today’s Christmas shopping plans.

Covered here but the dog isn’t impressed with this weird white cold stuff on his decking.

Is this the main course or just the starter as looking at the radar there’s nothing much behind when it clearers eastwards in the next hour or so.
i was under the impression that the heavy band was due in the early hours so not giving up on white conditions when it comes light in the morning.

@iand61 what was the score have you been on today
Crap game, bloody cold sat there but 1-0 to the clarets.
oh and my forecast is give it 10 minutes and then it’ll be coming down hard in your part of the world.
just hope it’s snow you get.

As others have said, a few degrees colder and all of that rain would have given a lot of the region a decent dumping.
We ended up with this from a similar set up a few years ago and it even managed to hang around for a day or two.

Well chaps - Salwick is looking forward to 6 hours of Sleet
Elevation should do reasonably well if the 12Z GFS is anything to go by.
Not expecting much more up here although after it took until 12th December to get our first flakes of the winter, it’s nice to get a few days where at least a chance of something white exists.

Nothing much to report here, just a wet, cold, and dark day.

22.5mm so far here today. Nothing too extreme, but if it carries on, which it is set to do then we'll be looking at least double that amount by the end of tomorrow morning.
Same up here, rain since late morning, heavier during the afternoon then it became lighter but back on the heavier side again now.
At least it stoped a repeat of last nights early bonfire firework display from happening.
