[WorsleySnow]

Not even a hint of sleet or snow in Preston, all rain! is this supposed to turn more wintry later in the day?

it was forecast as rain to snow nearer the coast

[UV-RAY]

It was jinxed as soon as the MetO upped the warnings for all the NW. Brollies at the ready.

About a mile away from the Airport 20 minutes ago and it was starting to snow

[UV-RAY]

Oh good lots of heavy rain then.

[Weather-history]

Amazing variations within the region. A member on UKWeatherworld is 97m above sea level at Wrightington in west Lancashire about 70m higher than me and yet he is reporting freezing rain and icy particles.

It's starting to pep up as it goes over the Irish sea as well, this could be epic!

[Snowmad79]

Are we sure this time the Amber meto warning has moved West ?

[HotCuppa]

I cant see rain in the cold front, it will reintroduce colder upper air and with it snow for later this afternoon

and even the coastal strip should see some snow, but for how long is anyone's guess..it will prep up even further when its into the irish sea proper...temps still hovering around 0C (my temp is -2.1C, it will probably rise to about -1C by the time the main band is over us. the warm front that is) and dp's still well into negative territory..wind chill is terribly cold

[Oakwell]

The wind has been blowing the snow of the roofs, still snowing hard.

[UV-RAY]

[jam2010]

Strange that taf for Manchester as I have light snow settling about 20 miles away.

[Weather-history]

Some quite large flakes are falling here now
