Snow Watch: North West England

[NorthWest_Snow]

Anybody know what our chances are of getting more snow after this, seems to be dying now

i dont think it will die out, more or less i think we will keep the light snow coming for a while yet

[Thunder Snow]

Im hoping more snow tonight

BBC are now keeping most of the snow to the East.

Well it's been a bit disappointing here, got some overnight last night but nothing alse all day and theres very little left on the ground now, It was to be expected though, as we weren't and aren't forecast to get anything in the next 48 hours. Hopefully we will finally see our fair share later in the week.

tomorrow morning 9am looks interesting for the nw take a look at the snow risk map

though i am not really that convinced they are that accurate..they say one thing and another is happening lolol

Stopped here for now

Come onnn

The snow has turned fine and light now.

The radar is picking up a couple of intensified bands in the East Midlands heading northwestwards. Not as heavy as the snow we've recentl head but still good.

After that i think the snow will get lighter and fizzle out but hopfully it will turn colder and icy.

I've never seen flakes as big as this before, some of these are the size of golf balls, coming down thick and fast <_<

I hear it might snow here on thursday/saturday?? Anything in that, I'm not a big weather buff haha

thing is our dew point has risen to 0c..that will drop as temps drops generally so not so bothered about that tbh. it amazes me how warm places like the channel island end up with more than we have 0.o

Had some really lovely snowfall for the past hour, a great covering on everything once more. Not been out to measure yet though.

yes a brief northwesterly incursion through thurs/sat but i think its pretty marginal / knife edge for our area at the moment though it could change

[Thunder Snow]

Snow starting to freeze now.

[Storm Animal]

Still looks like plenty more to come on the radar, I dont want it to stop Temp -0.8oC

[Shaun L]

We now have a covering of 4.5cm's in under two hours and that is on the coast. Only light snow now but hopefully more to come.

[James M]

It's gone very fine here now but still snow, temp starting to rise however from -0.6°C earlier to 0.1°C. Keeping this in mind I decided to go out and measure the snow again incase it turned to rain and we have an average depth of 14cm/ 5½ inches and drifts to a foot in places. I'm quite happy with that though, it's been quite a few years since we've had snow deep enough to wade in.

I almost feel like I'm in the wrong area - has been now snowing more or less continuously for 3 hours on top of the rest of the days fall. The snow is very granular atm, but it just keeps coming down. The undisturbed patches are up to 5" atm

[Thunder Snow]

BBC still have all the snow to the east

[SnowKidding]

Snow has turned lighter here now and temp has risen slightly from -0.6c to -0.3c. Dewpoint is -1.6c. The effect of the mild sector, according to the GFS, will be between now and 3am in the morning. I hope it doesn't spoil things for people on low ground

The snow is very granular atm

What can I say? Modern day snow!!! We need the big fat juicy flakes you use to get in the 70's & 80's, and then we would be rockin n rollin!! Well I prayed for blizzards last week and we got em, so maybe I shall pray for some juicy snowflakes next....oh must go check my lottery tickets aswell, I could be a millionaire & be residing in sunnier climates

friad we've had the big fat flakes, granular, every bloody size today - a snow specialist would have loved the range that came out of the skie today

nice and big flakes here in a stiff breeze

[SnowKidding]

Coming down heavy again now, although with a slight temperature rise, has anyone else had their temperature rise in the last half an hour?

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Heavy snow here sice 3pm although the temp is now about zero hopefully it won't rise any further as its now becoming marginal.

Hows the radar james? :lol:

[NorthWest_Snow]

looks like we will keep the snow coming for a good hour or two yet..though looking south on the radar it does seem to peter out..though we are still getting a se->nw feed for now.

i just saw some snow lightning lol

About 2 inches covering now, there did appear to be a few rain drops in it before though.. still snowing though now

Just heard a boom of thunder. Not sure where from though, seemed semi-distant

[bluetoff]

North wales heavy now, did slow down half an hour ago, but much heavier now.
