looks like your going to do better mate!!!

[Yeti]

carrying on nicely here, I reckon the band is about 30-40 miles further N than planned by now

I knew this would work out!

All those southerners :lol:

[skywatcher]

It's RAINING!

[South Wirral]

looks like your going to do better mate!!! :o

Still raining in Puddington West Cheshire - but Temp has dropped half a degree

Temp 2.2C

Wind NNE 6 mph

Pressure 988.2 steady

Interestingly, there is a secondary line of precipitation, fairly heavy but north of the main area.

As the system nudges north and slowly rotates anti clockwise as it goes, it puts this precipitation in line to reach me even if the main band doesn't get here. Yes, its got my name on it.

Chances of snow raise from 0% to 1%.

[grab my graupel]

This is very disappointing. I've just stuck my head outside, and half of my lying snow

has gone already. I'm not happy

Perhaps edging 1.5% now I'd say. It certainly looks like things are further N than planned

Hopefully as it pivots it should counteract any Ewards movement, keeping us in it for longer.

Also it's pepping up on the Nern flank. Strange to see reports of rain though, these are mainly in the Vale of York because Wharfedale, here and the Nern (higher) parts of leeds are all reporting snow, so somewhere in the region of 100-150m snowline generally, descending in heavier precip.

Still coming down nicely here and settling everywhere.

Must be fairly moderate rain Brian, if it is dissipating your snow that quick.

Reminds me of what I went through last monday when expecting a top up snowfall and it bloody rained. Could well happen again - if it even reaches here.

What is your temperature and dew point like?

that heavier stuff is looking good for us but its 1.8c with 0.7 dew

Can you see the line I'm talking about Yeti? Its sort of limping in my general direction, sort of to the WNW, could be interesting later, although i fear its going to be marginal.

Dont wana sound like Im on a ramp but, the feature thats forecast to hit us wednesday morning is currently a polar low. look at that small anticyclone abou 500 miles north west of scotland. certainly one to watch!

[Yeti]

Blizzard conditions here now!

Only joking, moderate snow. Or are the two the same these days?

Btw Paul, I know what you mean... there is a chance but it's very small, remember the S of the front is moving E so it depends how much it pivots. Also, it just disappeared on the radar!

[Liam J]

oh yeah what is that little feature spinning round there? go back to 1500hr and run through to now starts spinning nicely, showing temps of 4/5c tomorrow not exactly snow temps

Yeah I'm relying on a lot of anti clockwise rotation to bring home the bacon on this one - wind is coming from the SE now so thats a plus, and yeah I noticed it disappear as soon as I mentioned it. Glitch I hope!

[Harsh Climate]

typical, light drizzly rubbish now, just as I was guna go for a drive!..

[Lakes Tom]

Really quite heavy rain in Leeds city centre now. My school is 900ft above sea level in Bradford - Must be starting to give a fair coating up on the tops now! Here's hoping anyhoo!

[skywatcher]

Rain turning back to sleet.

I really cant figure why you think its looking good. the temperatures are still rising and it's still raining, places further south are getting the snow, and in this area higher up. still think low areas are just going to see rain, there must be a lot of warm air mixed in with this low.

JB

bit pedantic of me but an anticyclone is an area of high pressure

a polar low is an area of low pressure

does look a touch interesting though

oops, I meant the opposite

Yes, certainly one to watch

Yes it is Paul, I can hear the snow sliding off my roof as I type. I'm not sure what my temps

are I'll just check

Edit:

Well I know why it's raining here now. My temps are 2c, and my dew points are 2c
