[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

only an hour from me now defo twitchy bum time got a feeling first lot will be freezing rain which if im honet is disappointing as i thought that would be reserved for coastel areas.

[HotCuppa]

Omg you are getting some bursts ahead of the main PPN band....... the main event is not due for an hour or so :p

well if its anything like now, it will pass us by with nothing lol

[pnepaul]

Raining here in Workington

[Weather-history]

Slight breeze and a few snowflakes in the wind

[WorsleySnow]

Looking at the PPN radar, unless this first front slows considerably it will be long gone from us before the second (cold) front catches and merges with it.

[HotCuppa]

if anything the temp is at -2.6C and dp at -3.9C i am beginning not to like these temperature rises, but its to be expected.

[Snow free zone]

Raining now

Keep the faith dude and panic not lol. We'll all go crazy later if it goes teets up and rampage the SE thread!

[I Cumbria Marra I]

It turned to hail/sleet about 15 mins ago

Ironically the cold front, out west still over Ireland, still shows signs of having more precip than the warm front which should have prepped up by now. This is a good thing as if things stand as they are the cold front will reintroduce more sub 850hpa heights with that added precip injestion into the occlusion and not only lower uppers as it does so, but anything that does fall from the sky will undoubtedly be of snow. As things stand the easterly airmass and higher dew points is 'winning' this round.

raining here in accrington

Yep, sky has that "snow" look about it now.

We have heavy snow here in Bolton, so we may see it snow from the off, good luck

[LiverBird]

Ok i see my post has gone

Hope your Dad's okay. As much as we love snow it's not useful in emergencies.

It's raining here, very light stuff with occasional hailstones. Hasn't stopped for an hour but it definitely is not snow and we're not even seeing icicles as a plus!

[swainclubber]

raining here in accrington

probably rain for me then if it's raining there

[WorsleySnow]

that cold front have some seriously heavy precip with it

It does and hopefully will pep up across the Irish Sea, but at the moment it's fairly narrowm may give us a short but sweet snow even on top of frozen rain

[Weather-history]

Slight breeze and a few snowflakes in the wind

Larger snow flakes are now falling.

[Liam J]

Heavy rain here, everything soaking wet. Temp 1.2c dew point -1.0c

the positive thing out of this, is that temps and dp's are still below freezing here, particularly the dp..so looking at that cold front..its beginning to look really interesting for sure..as for how long it will take to get here? 3/5pm? temps should by then start sinking southwards
