[Slowpoke]

That big area of PPN to the North of I.O.M looks interesting atm for everywhere south of Fleetwood, yeah?

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Unbelivable this, I.O.M better for snow than Egremont

[Weather-history]

A hail shower just passed through. There could be temporary hail coverings from these showers if they are prolonged and heavy enough especially after dark.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Cant even get any showers from a NW'ly :lol: what can you do

[Cheese Rice]

Just thought I'd give you the heads up from Leeds its proper heavy snow here, big flakes really gusty almost blizzard like!

Started of as snow here too.!

[pip22]

just hail and sleeting here with some gusty winds with it. Quite harmful too with the wind and hail.

All the hail just sticked to the ground but after 2 mins it just melted.

Those hail showers are like the northern lights in the sky but in broad daylight.

Spotted this little beauty in Liverpool.

Grauple which settled and then big snow flakes. Unfortunately only lasted for about 10 minutes then all went.

Lots of hail showers passing over here on the Isle of Man! Just on my way home over the highest route on the island, I stopped and watched a hell of a cell drop by, it brought EXTREMELY heavy snow and a flash of lightning! The storm is heading for Liverpool now!
