There is a little line heading for us but its already hit land now so i doubt it will become more intense, we really need to start seeing the brighter colours showing up soon because once that wind veers westerly the there will start to be warmer secters mixed in with the uppers and will be most likely rain, this is a really small window of opportunity.

Disagree pal, think we may get bit now and at half ten but no where near as intense as early hours of today!

Just started snowing lightly.

[Backtrack]

Shower has died now, so those in Manchester who've just seen snow, consider yourselves lucky.

Is it on track to hit me? looks to be but i only have the normal raintoday radar!

Yes looks to be pal

[swainclubber]

Theres times i wish like this i was still living in Oldham!

surely not!!!ha

[SparkleS]

We had some very light, sleety,cold snowy rain before, about half hour ago but the skies cleared after that. Temp about 1.5 c here near the coast, well 20 mins inland from southport.

DECENT SIZED FLAKES NOW. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[cfallon]

Well that's was a very short lived light snow shower but that will be the very small cluster on the rain today radar! Look at the bigger blob between 10.15 and 11.45

[Backtrack]

Skies clearing now after a few hours of cloud.

Temperature should plummet very quickly shortly!

[Chris.R]

What the hell! It was 2.0c 10 minutes ago, now it's 5.1!!! What on earth's going on?

It's being more like a blummin' trampoleen (sorry can't spell) than a yo-yo

The breeze must of kicked in.

That mixed with rising uppers is a recipe for warmer temperatures on the coast.

[NorthYorksWeather]

Something on the radar starting to intensify near York as it heads westwards, something to keep an eye on maybe.

[feb1991blizzard]

Stopped now or turned sleety, very short lived, lets hope were lucky with the second hit.

[Chris.R]

don't remined me. It's still calm here though.

[NW_Blackburn]

These showers dont look too far away now according to radar!! Hopefully won't be long and will hopefully will fall as snow!!

Can see the notorious orange clouds!!

[SP1986]

Just had a rain shower!

[Chris.R]

wow! Well done SP I bet you thought you'd never see one of them?

[NW_Blackburn]

noooo. the front of that shower has died just before hitting me. hopefully the main bigger shower wont do the same.

[SP1986]

I know, its simply amazing..

you sound angry

There is always a chance of this happening as the ridge builds in, not a strong ridge by any stretch but a ridge will nearly always suppress PPN in these setups, its just can we sqeeze some more out first.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

I hope i get a good snowfall this winter, the last 2 winters were just average in terms of snowfall

[jam2010]

Does it still look like there will be any more, cant see it reaching Manchester on rain today.

[SP1986]

It's persistently raining now, this must be the main rain band, or at least an annexe of it.

[NW_Blackburn]

I think the PPN has all but broke up as the large orange cloud now is hardly there and I haven't had any PPN as of yet and it was very close to me about 20mins ago and nothing.
