Starting to freeze here now.
-
Current temp is 1.3c with a dewpoint of 1c, thats going off wunderground Blackpool airport, im only half a mile away from there.
-
snow at blackpool, surely thats good news for others given your coastal location
well it started out as light rain then as it got heavier it was hail then light snow, its stopped though.
-
snowing lightly now after some hail a light covering on pavements and rooftops now.
-
Can confirm light drizzle here in Blackpool, although there was a brief snow flurry before.
-
Just watching granada news and its snowing outside you could see it through studio window.
-
Just had a very light snow flurry lasted for the best part of a minute. At least it was of snow.
-
Car thermometer registering -6 in blackpool, car been staitionary since 5pm, dont know if this is a realistic reading or not.

Oi i'm not
Agree about the pre Christmas snow though, this morning was way too marginal for us West of the M6, but after the cold air kicks in we may have a chance if some showers can make it over the pennines this week even on the coast. You would think i'd get used to a lack of snow living here, that pre Christmas fall was a one in 20 year event as far as i'm concerned, and it makes you want more
At least i now know that it can still snow here.
Yes agree with you there, it lasted on the ground for the best part of a week, helped along of course by the snowfall on the 23rd.

Hi Mark - can we start a Fylde Coast we-get-no-snow club? That pre-Christmas fall felt like gold-dust!
Yes good idea snowdrifter, infact i work in st.Annes as a postman and on 21st dec when we got the first snowfall it ground our postal service to almost a halt.
-
It was odd driving from home to Blackpool today. As soon as I reached the M6, the snow started to disappear until I got to the Lancashire border, where it all went. At least we won.
I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry to anyone who lives in Blackpool. It must be awful for you.
You're right it is awful i'll have to move further inland to see some decent snow, everywhere in the north west seems to be reporting snow but here.
-
Happy new year everyone!
Not been up long lol! can anyone tell me roughly what time the ppn is likely to hit the North West tomorrow?
-
Just started snowing lightly in Norbreck, current temp -0.1c.
Should start here then soon.
-
The band seems to be definatly moving east now and fairly slow moving too so fingers crossed and lamp posts at the ready.
-
Yes and hopefully bring us some more snow.
-
Definatly cold enough for snow now temps and dew points below freezing, all the snow here has frozen solid and to add to that the gritters havent been out all day. Anything that does fall will surely stick like glue.
-
The bottom end of that line of showers in the Irish sea seems to slowly be pivoting eastwards to me, anyone else notice this?
-
Those showers over the Irish sea are heading NE to the north of the Fylde coast towards Cumbria, wonder if i will catch a snow shower later, we got a good dumping of snow this morning which has now frozen over.
-
The only disappointing output is the ECM ensembles. I have been closely following these and tonight the mean has increased by around 3C and there is far fewer cold runs compared to recent days. Still I suppose ensembles can easily change especially in F.I.
so do you think there is a trend towards warmer conditions as we head towards new year? GFS is obviously unsure, i cant make head nor tail of this lot.
-
Had a heavy but brief shower of rain/sleet about 30 mins ago, dont know what to expect tonight now.
-
Good evening, i too am hoping for some snow this weekend , the last decent snow to last a few days was feb 96, im not expecting anything like that during this cold spell but a couple of inches would be nice.
-
Just seen 2 faint flashes way out at sea, starry skies here but checked radar and sure enough sferics out over Irish sea.
-
Had a good storm here this morning about 08.00, huge flash of lightning started as a bright ball out over the sea, then just seemed to explode in all directions, very bright as the clouds were black, then huge booming thunder followed almost immediately and torrential rain and hail and strong winds,lovely. Maybe a repeat tomorrow, storm chances still looking good!
-
Absolutley belting down here, no thunder as yet though.
