North West Of England Regional Discussion Thread - Part 4

Snow reports in Warrington on the radio.

That's because the precipitation is confusing!

It's freezing rain, grauple & snow.

zero precip here

[P-M]

I'm trying to follow this thread to get an idea of what precipitation type is falling from the front, but I'm finding your constant mood swings a bit confusing! Anyway, I hope you all get loads of snow as that would probably mean I'd get snow too!

To be fair Alza my swear filter will be in full effect if I get freezing rain or rain! Mood swings will be the least of my worries! Keep the spirits Northwesterners!

The snow has started, my prayer and visit to the snow gods shrine on winter hill is paying dividends, current temp -0.7C

[Weather-Voyager]

still light drizzle here with the occasional small lazy snow flake. temps around 0c getting icicles on cars and from surfaces.

[Backtrack]

zero precip here

Precip getting even heavier here now.

[HotCuppa]

started well, but im beginning to think that we'll end up with zero precip (imby), regardless what the radar is showing, nothing is falling at all..very strange indeed

[chiffer]

[HotCuppa]

seems a little strange everywhere but here and potentially south liverpool too, seeing absolutely nothing..been no freezing rain, just powder snow for a few minutes, it stopped, started again or tried to then gave up completely..now just grey clouds

[Winter Monsoon]

I can confirm light snow in Birchwood, Warrington

[Acupuncturist]

Grey skies but still no precipitation here in south manc. Really want snow but have to take partner to wythenshaw hospital for appointment at 3.45 so I'm a bit torn. My car is worse than useless in the snow so in danger of getting stuck if it really snows !

[Backtrack]

but what i sit?????

Grauple & freezing rain, with flakes being mixed out.

[SparkleS]

Im in halewood now and everywhere is frozen solid motorways were ok to be fair but pavements etc are a nightmare

[HotCuppa]

seems to me to be very localized.

[Backtrack]

Well at least the cold front it catching the warm front now. We want that to happen ASAP.

[HotCuppa]
