Hmmm i’d take warm nothingness over the cold variety any day. it’ll be bloody freezing sat on the Turf tomorrow.
-
Will the text get smaller as you battery runs down. now where’s the damn candles. seriously though I hope your back on shortly.
-
Glad about which part of it
-
Still windy up here but not as wild as overnight and at least that fine crap blowing of the tops has stopped. will the front heading up from the south reach here, somehow I doubt it and I think that we are entering a bland few days of cold nothingness.
-
Sorry to hear that Sf, hope everything turns out ok but these winds are terrible. i don’t know whether it is the excessive speed of the gusts or the unusual direction but the entire house seems to be creaking and the noise from the trees across the road is constant.
-
It’s really strong but the unusual direction seems to be making things even worse.
-
Bloody hell if they reckon that the worst of the winds have yet to arrive then it’s going to be a wild night.
-
According to the radar I am right at the edge of whatever is falling and it’s been the same for the last two hours. It looks like drizzle but temperatures are well below freezing and it isn’t icing everything up so must be snow grains although it’s probably just fine snow blowing off the tops.
-
Highway in the Sky section was closed for much of the day as was the M66 down Rammy and the roads from Burnley to Rawtenstall and Bacup we’re both blocked by snow so let’s see if tomorrow brings an improvement.
-
A couple of trees down in Bacup now, this wind really is nasty and warrants a warning in its own right.
-
I’d have thought you should be ok and the tops will look stunning in the snow. getting here might be the issue if the roads don’t open again.
-
Agreed it is getting nasty up here now and just the sort of conditions which can ice over and bring down power lines. Just spent 20 minutes wrapped up clearing a path up the drive and it was absolutely bitter but the relentless fine snow being blown off the moors is covering it again in no time at all. even the winds of the March 2013 blizzard was tame compared to this and would easily be a killer for anyone out in it without the right clothing.
-
Confused with the 6am BBC forecast. it shows today’s system not reaching this far north before heading towards Ireland with us remaining dry. but then it had a big area of snow across us on Saturday although nothing mentioned.
-
And hopefully that system down south heading this way and then stalling right over our region before a reload a day later. Sorry but i’m being greedy now.
-
Full blizzard conditions in Bacup at the moment. i’m not sure how much more snow has fallen overnight as it’s just blowing into drifts but it’s certainly the best effort since March 2013 with the added bonus of much colder temperatures. could be an interesting journey down the valley to work.
-
Quite a few streamers setting up over to the east which may give anyone lucky enough to be under them a decent dumping this evening. thats providing they make it over here of course.
-
I think i’m under that yellow bit somewhere
-
Yeah it’s nice to get in on the action.
-
I’m not greedy mate, enjoy it.
-
That’s got Bacup’s name on it.
-
Decent depth of snow here now, probably around 5-6 inches from a good number of showers during the day. yesterday was disappointing IMBY but today has pulled it round again and it’s been snowing hard for the last hour. just hope the showers intensifying across the east reach here.
-
A couple of inches of level snow here and as everything has either gone north or south of me overnight, little top since I went to bed. not a breath of wind and other than it being -7c it’s a lovely early morning. and i’m only 30 miles north of you...........not jealous really.
-
Heavy snow here but it’s looking like just a short lived rougue shower with normal service of starry skies soon returning.
-
They’ve been obsessed with everything southern throughout the 10 years i’ve been a member on Netweather.
-
Compared to others it’s been a poor day here for snow with showers to our south and north and a gap between them pretty much throughout bad this morning but more to do with bad driving and a lack of gritting than than the bit of snow that fell.
