North West Cold Spell Discussion

[Backtrack]

Time to call it a night.

I already know the outcome - ill wake up, and hear drip drip drip. Rain all the way.

This is unreal -6.1c last night and now its going to rain... PATHETIC BLAH!

[dodge]

mmm... parts of South Manchester have done well so far, they have an inch, I've only got a cm!! can't be having that lol

I'm sure the balance will be readdressed as the evening wears on

[martinj2]

Heavy snow in northwich instant covering

C.S

Nice one C.S......reckon you'll get more overnight and maybe tomorrow.

By the way how's Hartford.........I used to to college there, many many years ago.

Light snow here for the past hour and a half, but its been persistant so that will add problems already to road closures and lack of Road Salt. A nice large shower (possibly due to forcing ahead of the main front) developing over the North Pennines, could just clip the Peak District on its way down, aswell as this possible Polar Low coming SW from the Shetland Isles.

[LiverBird]

Yeah.......you needed that temp drop

It appeared to be snowing here in the streets lights (in South Liverpool near the airport) but on going outside I found it is only sleet and is just leaving the floor wet.

I'm giving up now and going to bed, hoping to see some snow.... any snow.... in the morning, but not holding out much hope. Those of you who have it, enjoy!

Goodnight all.

Cleared the car completly today and there is now 3cm! it's very awkward trying to guess where the heaviest intensity will be.

That, my friend, is a given..

Interesting blob of precipitation just coming out of Southern Scotland at present. That could give cumbria their snowfall overnight. I'm hoping it merges with the showers coming off the Irish Sea, then we could have some fun.

[Joe Bloggs]

Just started snowing again here! Good covering now.

[meerkat63]

I do have my doubts now about any considerable break in the ppn before the main band arrives later.

I think it will be on and off all the way through. I would prefer to be wrong - the temp. could then drop significantly in advance - although it does not look like that is going to happen anymore. I'm not complaining though - still snowing, still below freezing!

We will have to settle for snow from now until morning instead!

The sleet is encroaching eastwards again. Hope there's no more dreaded mild sector on it's way.

Looks like it's going to head towards the east as it slips over the border.

Lets hope those of us that are snowless and stuck in sleety crap do well too..not holding my breath same nonsense every year..far too tropically mild here..am surprised that this mildness as not progressed further inland...although the temp as dropped off maybe we'll see something later on...hope this slushy mess stops and it clears up..allowing my temp and dp to sink properly for a good couple of hours I thought we might hit some new warmth record for early Jan but I am sure that would take some doing lol

Yep I did think that, but it could converge and pick up some of the showers from the Irish Sea. Might be an invigoration on it's western flank.

Currently 2c here. Few hundred yards up the road (20m higher) it is snowing and I have sleet. Now that's marginal for you. Wind is still coming from the damn SW!

Went for another drive up to Rivington and it is snowing everywhere but here wish I hadn't bothered now.

[HotCuppa]

anyone reporting freezing rain?

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

The sleet is encroaching eastwards again. Hope there's no more dreaded mild sector on it's way.

its posible mate this low level cloud with little precip is actually going against us now.

all the action continues to our south,as you say its getting patchy and sleety further north and west.

[martinj2]

Bucketing down here with SNOW....temp fallen to 0C and sticking on concrete.

What's happening on the Wirral?

[ianshortall]

Raining now in New Brighton,

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

showers completely stopped here and have been light anyway for the last couple of hours.

hope the front delivers because to be blunt its been a bit of a let down tonight.

Liverpool airport is now reporting light snow, but from a friend over there, he says its not doing anything.

My temp has dropped to 0.9C dp -0.7 everything is still the wrong side of marginal..we had some freezing rain for a short period of time now its doing squat.
