[I Cumbria Marra I]

And Preston! freezing rain all the way still...!

i meant on the BBC graphics

[Bolton67]

i know how you feel they hammered us 7-1 a few years back then did it on the opening day of the season a couple season's back 5-0 humiliating doesnt do it justice

blackburn down to 10 men tho

anyway watching intently for the snow to arrive..

Could not score against us the other night.. and our back 4 has got more holes in it than a tea bag.

[weather eater]

i dont think anyone would have lived with the gooners today, they are that good..meh

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain does look a fantastic prospect. But we digress its gone back to a more snow/sleet mix now, not freezing rain, gusty wind as well.

[feb1991blizzard]

still fine snow here big mass of precip incoming from the irish sea guna be very wet or very white in a few hours

Yes it did turn slightly sleety but it looks like a very dry powdery snow, false alarm i think.

[HotCuppa]

who could not score against you?

[frostbitten]

Really hope we get some of the white stuff soon here in st. Helens before i have to resort to lampost watch lol

[I Cumbria Marra I]

SLEET!!!!!!!!!! THERES STILL TIME!

[WorsleySnow]

radar looks like a giant mess now

whys that, temps should hold now if not drop, and we're no even a third of the way thru the 2 bands

[The Northern Ramper]

Thats wierd considering its still snowing here. You sure its not just gonne to light snow for awhile?

Yes just light snow here as well.

[guvnor22002]

really fine icy rain u no the type u can hear on metal or plastic surfaces

[cfallon]

Still snowing moderately here and he's just over the hill. Saddleworth usually get it twice as bad .

Can't get on my radar pal, hiw many more hours of this to go? It's moderate but not got heavy as if yet

[SNOW GO]

Oh thats a nice surprise!

Icy rain has now turned back to light grainy snow here in South Cheshire temps have also fallen ahead of another band of precipitation coming in off the Irish sea.

You never know the Met Office might be right after all!!

[Bolton67]

who could not score against you?

that team that are battering Blackburn.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

AOC is a much better player than Walcott imo much better technically

[HotCuppa]

if the warm front as stalled where exactly as it stalled?

[Oakwell]

Gas Mark 7!!

still only 6 at the mo

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Can see this turning to snow tbh

[HotCuppa]

that team that are battering Blackburn.

well i hope we put a shift in against wigan, confidence is pretty high at the moment and god knows we need the points

[UV-RAY]

if the warm front as stalled where exactly as it stalled?

Directly above me, rain has intensified and sheet ice forming. Never mind nearly 3pm, when it all magically turns to snow, or not.

it will allow the cold front to converge on it

It's not stalled completely, it's just moving slower than the cold front. Roughly over the Pennines right now.

So the rain will be even colder then.

[Liam J]

Cold rain here, temp fallen a smidgen, 2.5c.

[Backtrack]

As a rough guide:
