North West Cold Spell Discussion

[SNOW-HEATWAVE-YES]

That's a shame.

We've had hail and thunder so far this morning.... very festive. Bah.

It's currently snowing and there's a light covering in Liverpool City Centre. You need to move a few miles East..

[martinj2]

looks like very fine snow/sleety stuff now Lpool City centre

How fantastic! I woke up 10 mins ago to moderat snow falling!

Only light now, but the radar is looking good!

Once again the tv forecasts have underestimated the showers in our area, what a surprise!

Still -3 outside, just been into our town centre and regretted it because I'm like a block of ice now

Thundersnow in Wallasey! And not just that, but big flashes of lightning too. Unreal. Coming down quite heavy at the moment.

Got a nice covering of snow this morning in South Liverpool when I left for work - not the deepest I've ever seen but nice and Christmassy all the same.

Ah!

[Weather-history]

Snow coming down again.

You don't often read of Preston doing better for snow than parts of south Cheshire for snow! South Cheshire have had little snow by the looks of it.

I grew up in Childwall... I never should have left!

Get yourself a hot chocolate!

It's stopped thundering and it's raining lightly, but the temperature has fallen back to 2.2c.

Got a dusting from the 20 mins of heavy snow this morning.

Looks like all of the showers will miss here today. The sun will come out and melt it all.

1.0c

Enjoy the showers you who have them, they are heavy. All of them missed me by 5 miles.....

moderate snow here and the radar looks ripe for more today.

A memorable one in my book

Scrap my last post, it's snowing lightly.

[snowingtequila]

cloud moving in now, seems to be moving in from the north.

Hey fellow NW peeps.

I don't generally post but this weather is such a change to the norm for here I couldn't resist...such a nice change for areas like mine and Preston to get some of the white stuff. It's coming down again here, nice big fluffy flakes...just need some of the thundersnow and then I can be forever happy :unsure:

Fingers crossed for those of you that haven't seen much of it so far, I can imagine how frustrated and peeved you'll be feeling as I have been there so many times before!

Very light layer of snow in South Liverpool this morning with flurries coming now and again in the last hour. Widnes had 2" inches last night and Belle Vale also got a covering - it is snowing there now too. I can see out across the Mersey towards Ellesmere Port atm and there is a snow cloud hovering between us so fingers crossed we might pick something up from that. It is moving so slowly I can't tell in what direction yet but possibly south east - does that make any sense to anyone??? The Welsh Mountains have decent snow on them presumably from last night.

Oh I hope we get some decent snow today - all we've had here is flurries and millimetres!

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

persistant moderate snow here occasional quite heavy.

Runcorn and Widnes got 2" for a time, but it wasn't snow - It was hail and grauple.

[Weather-history]

Snowing heavily now

[karyo]

Only light snow in the city centre but the radar shows a heavy shower just to the west of me. Should hit very shortly!

NW front page update,

''Starting with today, wintry showers will come and go in western and northern parts - falling as rain and sleet close to the coasts generally, but turning to snow further inland. They may organise themselves together a little later on and run down through northern England bringing some more persistent snowfall, which is something to watch.''

well sw scotland and borders are on severe met office warning so wouldnt take much to hit nw england yet again!!

[snowingtequila]

snowing lightly now

[karyo]

Gone dark now with heavy snow! :unsure:

Can anyoen see a streamer in the irish sea?

[SP1986]

wow Heswall is really domed.

Im watching that storm to the NE of me go by, what in the the name, not even a flake of snow!

To add insult to injury a hot minimum of -0.7C (after midnight) whilst everyone else in the Wirral went down to -2C

Further more it's +2.5C now, balmy day ahead.

[Backtrack]

God, those flakes are so small... Pathetic this is....
