Very sleety mix here now, and I think the heaviest precipitation is falling just agonisingly to the East of me. Already focusing on tomorrow's showers. BBC forecast showed them moving well inland in the afternoon.

Where abouts are you mate ? Im on sholver and the gritters recently did the back roads including my street not so long ago but theres already a fresh 1 to 2 cm covering on the roads already !

Well another kick in the teeth for us all, why do we bother to trust the models. Experience tell's us, that warm sectors and the NW go hand in hand!

looking at the raintoday.co.uk radar..its looking like that rain is beginning to peter out somewhat as it sinks further south, so to do the temperatures that I have noticed. I think over the next couple of hours temperatures will again begin to drop off to below freezing in many places, and those very prepped up snow showers to the north west of scotland have a very good chance of not just hitting the coastal regions but also inland towards the pennines. I was wondering where this fabled snow was going to come from, but now the temps and rain is beginning to diminish over the sea its got to be a good thing surely?

wind has finally shifted from w by s to w by n

It's really hissing down here now (with rain)-temp +3.6. I tell you what if this rain turns to snow as it moves East you guys are going to get a whiteout!

Just got an indication out there then, that the wind may be swinging a bit to the north.

Your starting to see the last of the rain, this band will move through and its clear skies for a time before that artic air really diggs in along with the snow showers.

The cold undercutting air is just north of Blackpool!

If the precip can hold on an hour, we will have a whiteout!!

Rain is starting to turn to snow in Manchester city centre! I need it to hold on and settle as the surfaces are still cold!

3.9C no change at all. winds light west to north westerly..I think we are the warmest location in the south of region..which is incredible because we dont suffer from any heat island effect...just the barmy bahama ocean which is stupidly called the irish sea lol
