[NW_Blackburn]

Evening everybody just been reading through the thread and its good to see some people are seeing some snow! Hopefully theres more to share round! What are my chances for anything tonight in the Blackburn area?

Thanks.

Apparently they had a dusting of snow in Penrith this afternoon at around 16:00... can anyone confirm?

[Backtrack]

WC - -0.2C

DP - 0.9C

Wet bulb - 3.3C

Wind - 17.3mph.

Heavy snow now falling. Brilliant!!

[Snowstorm1]

2.0c Now risen from 1.7c at 7:57 so 0.3c rise in 20 mins

[Backtrack]

I'd take hail over snow any day in this set up. And so far it looks like we're gonna be getting a decent covering of it according to the radar.

I love Winter.

Heavy snow now falling. Brilliant!!

Buxton always does well in these set ups, now send them down here in stoke !

[recklessabandon]

like a skating rink outside, everything is iced with an icy wind blowing off the snow-covered moors, clear skies....beautiful....

[weatherobsuk]

Snow on the ground here now, settled at 210m asl.

5.8C to 4.7C under a light shower.

Just snowed again a long with some hail.

I am now under clear skies which should mean falling temps however the temp has risen to 3.7c from 1.5c during the wet snow earlier, thanks to the westerly wind.

PPN is your friend tonight to keep the temp down near the coast on low ground.

Hi All - Been a lurker for a few years. Love this forum when we start to get some interesting weather. Just had a sleety shower here in east Stockport, hopefully more to come tonight.Temp 2.2C. Backtrack you're a star, your enthusiasm and humour are much appreciated.

Disley's getting a nice dusting to. Hopefully, more to comethough out the night.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

BT your temp is now falling rapidly down to 4.3. Dunno what it means though.

[Alex95]

Looking at the IR satellite images an area of enhanced shower activity is nearing Northern Ireland - this could be a sign of colder uppers / more instability / change in wind direction etc.

My nearest weather station on Wunderground is reporting 0.5°C now with a dew point of -1°C.

nice the met going for sleet here early hours in morning doubt it will happen like

[NW_Blackburn]

Actually got extremely light snow with some big flakes. Started off as sleet but seems to have gone to snow in last 5mins. Not settling at all. But first bit of snow

[Backtrack]

GET IN THERE!

Temperature down to 3.5C with no precip falling!

Any precip that comes in from the streamer will be snow.

Amazing.

[NW_Blackburn]

Snow starting to get heavier and sticking

Wet snow just starting

[Geordiesnow]

Good too hear the snow reports flying in from the Northern England region aswell as Scotland of course. As Alza reported, we did had some moderate rain which threatened to turn to sleet but it never really did in the end.

The radar is slowly taking shape now though, I would not be surprised if Manchester City centre will see proper snow falling by the morning time although I doubt accumulations will occur.

[Posthill Wanderer]

Been snowing here in Pudsey for 20 minutes or so. Only at 100m - settling on cars and edges of road but not settling on paths and roads yet but a better start than I (and two giddy kids) had expected!!

[Liam J]

Walney island southwards down the coast seems to be warming up, 6c or higher with 7c at Crosby. Really need some heavy ppn to fall.

Your setting yourself up for a major dissapointment here mate :lol:

[cfallon]

[SnowObsessor90]

Another quick hail shower came down round these parts as well again just then.

Loving it
