where do you think the least snowiest place is in the North West?

....CREWE

[Lancashire Lass]

Showers dodging Preston also. My temps and dewpoints are up and down like the proverbial whatsits drawers.

Current temp 5.9c, dewpoint 2c

[Backtrack]

We have had continuous hail for the past 40 minutes, and we have accumulated around 2cm of hail on the ground..should turn to rain pretty soon.

As for snow...its marginal at best...-6.5C uppers...sleet at best...true fact that....to guarantee low lying snow we need far colder upper in this area...the temp your talking about is fine for high ground..you however are not on high ground not even close to 200m..infact id say right now its probably closer to 350m+

Yes right now it's marginal. The dewpoints are way too high for snow, even on higher ground.

All I can say is wait till later when the temperature, dewpoint and uppers fall, we might get lucky.

2.8C here now with hail still falling. Pipe has just come away from the wall it's had so much water running down it! :lol:

[James M]

A few rain and hail showers nothing unexpected, I seem to be in a gap in the showers now.

Looks like the Irish Sea has ran out of steam again.

Might be a good time to take the dog.

Nice hail shower currently in Manchester!

To be honest, when the temperatures are marginal like today, it's best to get hail than snow as snow won't stick!

Actually no, if it's raining rail now, then I'd expect the odd train to be thrown in. Keep your damaging storm.
