Looking at the radar im in a bit of a rain shadow from the fells, looking good south manchester/ north cheshire though!

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Yesterdays FAX charts showing today was always going to be an 18 hour event, which we are now 2 hours into and still have another 16 hours for all of this afternoon, evening, and tonight to look forward to many twists and turns. The current undercutting of the 850hpa sub DAM air by the cold front again, occlusional forcing across the region, likely topographic lifting of showers, stalling of this warm front which is already underway, freezing rain again which has already occured, and who knows what else.

It's 16 hours too early to be calling it a non-event just yet.

[Lancashire Lass]

Freezing rain. Lethal. I have icicles hanging off the bonnet of my car.

Current temp -1.1c, dewpoint -1.8c

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Starting to look like the models did indeed underestimate the mild sector im afraid,its raning in stockport and thats a good 40miles inland.

Not a good sign for those in the west and its increasingly marginal here even further east.

Hoping for a turn of fortunes but it needs to hurry up.

[Backtrack]

Despite the radar showing moderate to heavy precipitation, we're just getting light grauple and rain.

Temp is -0.5C.

Liam what will the effects of that cold front meeting the warm front be.

Will they get it on :lol:

[Lancashire Lass]

I suspect some of you further East are doing better.

[Munchermark]

still snowing here goes from moderate to light every 15 mins or so but constant snow now for over an hour

[Cheshire Freeze]

Temps and dew points are fine atm.....the warm front was always going to be a bitty, sleety affair :s

have you seen the traffic cams LL manchester is a whiteout

[SnowObsessor90]

Well it least it looks "whitish" here outside.

Still doesn't beat the proper stuff though sadly.

[Liam J]

Latest PPN type radar, don't take it as gospel but you get the idea.

Snow is nowhere near as widespread as predicted.

what you thinking crewe? things to improve?

[UV-RAY]

We are roughly 27 miles inland, and it hasn't stopped raining for well over an hour.

no im right on the boundary between freezing rain and snow im getting worried lol.

[harrythefish]

It's odd people in Stockport are seeing rain. It's still snowing here, although it's got sleety pellets in it now.
