:winky:

Snow shower (just about) here too! Was very surprised after the comments on here yesterday. Always a chance,as BT said!

Exactly, be great if it would pick up with intensity!

[Backtrack]

Doubt it will, but you never know. It's been fed moisture from the West, so it's possible, but unlikely.

Now don't be greedy.. :lol:

I may have cried wolf yesterday but I've just woken up, looked out the window and noticed that we do have a flurry of snow falling?

It's 1.1C with a DP of 0.8C, so it was wet snow. There is nothing on the radar, and before anyone says 'your eyebrows aren't staying that easy' I grabbed my camera and filmed a few flakes falling from the sky.

NMM was indeed correct, Yorkshire thread were reporting the same thing last night - snow with nothing on the radar. Interesting.

same here bt

Now don't be greedy.. :lol:

[SP1986]

Very slight rain falling here, hardly worth mentioning.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

ahhh is it rain Ste i thought it was snow

[Backtrack]

+1.4C DP 0.8C.

Any precip that falls is likely to be wet snow.

Uppers are -2.5C. If only they could of been -2.5C yesterday, we would of all been pasted.

[The Northern Ramper]

yeah that rain didn't touch the cover really did it

It just froze on the snow, bloody dangerous now

[jpwild]

Snow increased again in density with large flakes

[Backtrack]

Snow increased again in density with large flakes

And still absolutely nothing on the radar!

This bodes well for us in the south of the region.

Those tiny light blue blobs are less that 0.1mm/HR. They usually do not provide any precipitation at ground level.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

uppers were -3 last night according to radar bt

In the early hours they may of been. When the rain was falling they were +1C/+2C.

I know mate, but switch to the intensity & look at the key, you'll see what I mean.

Anyways, off to college now. Got a party later so may not be back on till late. Adios!
