North West Cold Spell Discussion 4

[cheshire cat]

Good covering, about an inch here, no warm sectors today!

[k19]

will we get any snow in the middle of the region? we have a dusting, but the main band of showers are heading north

[SnowKidding]

Nice dusting here at the moment, Snow is mainly of the soft hail/snow mix around here but plenty of showers forming just west of me out in the Irish sea.

Temperature is rising slowly though, with the sea temperature influence sarting to take effect with the direction of the wind Just hope these showers are frequent and help keep the temp down!

[Osbourne One-Nil]

met office flash warning now for cumbria, temp gone up here to 0.8c hope it stays below 2c arrrrgh

Whereabouts are you? Over in the Eden Valley, it's currently -5.9C after a low of -10.4C (the lowest temp since December 29th 2005).

Another hail shower-still no snow here, weird Mossely Hill and Birkenhead have snow. Interesting how the character of the hail has changed, from large round balls to small cone shaped objects. Sure is turbulent up there.

Yeah, we've had the hail showers which has stopped.

Nice coating on the floor.

Heavy snow in Bramhall now.

[martinj2]

Worried about this westerly wind-could raise temps. We need it to swing North.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Hm radar doesnt look great at the moment.Hopefully the showers will pep up a bit.

[martinj2]

Looks like we're getting just frozen rain now....I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad!

Yep up to 2.9c here already although the snow doesnt seem to be thawing much. Its going to be 5c here by lunch time if this carries on

Just having the second snow shower ofthe day. Not heavy but adding to the earlier dusting.

The radar shows that the heaviest showers are in a line from the coast of Northern Irelandto the northwest of the region. Don't know if we'll get those heavy ones as it depends on the wind direction. At the moment we're relying on the light/moderateshowers forming over the irish sea.

[V for Very Cold]

hmmmmmmmmm, just woken to find just an extra 1cm of snowfall overnight - I know it's better than some, but still not what I was expecting given the forecast. Having a brew then will venture out - fingers crossed there is more on the way

Yes, it seems that the Manchester area is between the two bands of showers!

Let's hope that more will form over the sea...

Yep.....that's what I'm thinking.Deinately getting frozen rain here, with a bit of snow mixed in.If anything the wind has moved into the SW a touch!

[toccylad]

really heavy now

[Weather-history]

There will probably be graupel mixed in with the showers today.

Got down to -6C and another snow covering for the records.

Snow shower going through here now.

[Backtrack]

Lots of grauple mixed in.. (Why)?

Currently snowing (propper snow) heavily. Everywhere covered in ice, snow and grauple.

0.1c after a low of -3.1c

[karyo]

really heavy now

Where are you????

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

This the problem with showers,they are very hit and miss.

Kevin is there any organized featurs in the mix for today?

[James M]

I'm sure the showers will get going later. Anyways I'm having a break from the computer today to enjoy the snow, good luck hope you guys get lots.
