7 hours ago, Had Worse said:
Merry xmas everybody.
I thought id be waking up to white roofs and grass curtesy of a frost. Alas, the cloud cover has crept in and all the frozen cars and frost have disappeared
Same here, everything was white when we walked up to the pub last night, a couple of hours later staggering back it was just damp and misty.
Woke up now and it’s thick fog so although seasonal, it’s hardly festive.
-
A bit more seasonal this morning with the wet from two days of pretty much constant rain forming ice on the car that put last weekends effort to shame.
anyway at least it’s stopped raining and with the sun out, not a bad day and if no snow is on offer then i’ll certainly take a bit of frost over rain, rain and more rain.
I’ll probably still be popping in here a bit over the next few days but in the meantime, can I wish all fellow members a Merry Christmas and hope you get all you wish for, unless it’s snow and then i’m sure your going to be disappointed.

Still raining

Just seen the forecast and it showed a narrow shower stream coming in off the Irish Sea right across our part of the region.
if it had been snow we’d have had a decent covering by now but then again, no doubt the stream would then have had someone else’s name on it.
thankfully the weather map did show it clearing through late morning so we live in hope.

Always more likely to occur than heavy snow at Christmas.

Everything wooden in the garden is covered in a layer of ice which makes walking on the decking to feed the cats rather an adventure! Weather station shows 1oC now.
Cars and drive are not frozen here.
i haven’t checked the decking as that means getting up and opening the conservatory door but it was a bit icy when I looked earlier.

Just driven up the M66 and from 3.5c in Bury it’s down to 0.5c here but surprisingly no freezing of the rain as yet.

It really needs to get a move on otherwise there won’t be enough sub-freezing air left; unless the inversion is coming in slower as well.
At this rate it’ll be ruining our Easter weekend

Good job you’re playing at Wembley today; I would fancy that game would be called off otherwise.
Nowt for us today I imagine, but at least we’re not at home as it’ll be damned cold sat on the Turf today.
as you said though a good chance of games being called off if only because of fan safety.

Painfully slow progress looking at the radar but at least I should be able to get out to the shops and back before we get completely cut off..........probably a slight exageration but black ice and the hills around here make for some interesting driving conditions.

I will be up and out from 5 AM to see what happens. That’s dedication for you.
That’s a working day for me but when severe weather decides to come at weekend then i’ll Leave it for others to admire, at least until a more reasonable hour.

Bitterly cold day. Looking forward to the rain tomorrow - not lol
Not if it’s going to be the freezing type anyway.
i’ll put up with the wet and cold stuff so long as I can jump in the car and drive on something better than an ice rink but tomorrow has the potential to be pretty severe, especially given that it will be one of the busiest shopping and party days of the year.

I can’t see much in the way of snow from this event even up here.
as others have said, the warmer uppers arrive too soon but with a cold ground ice may be a bigger risk and is probably more of a justification for the weather warning than snow.
plenty of time for the white stuff between now and next spring

Did i hear the word snow on the tv ??
I don’t know but having two full days without rain is a minor miracle after the crap of the last couple of weeks.

I can guarantee that when conditions become favourable for snowfall, winds will become too westerly and push the precipitation to Greater Manchester. Just you watch
Up into Lancashire would be better still but I know what you mean.

Peeing down under a Cheshire gap streamer...
No respite from the rain here today.
Just wait until snow is piling up from one in January though.

Panic over, 2 hours since the last deluge and a definite risk that United Utilities would be applying for a hosepipe ban but it’s peeeing down again now.

Still a bit murky but a damn site better than the fog and damp of Christmas Day.
it’ll certainly go down as a foregettable one, weather wise.
hope you all had a good un.
