[Chris.R]

Sounds fun Chris!!

Haha, meant rising of course. Don't know what happened there!

[Liam J]

I think both bands you can see on the radar will merge together, well I hope so because the first one is a bit pathetic.

That’s what happened in Feb last year – the second band caught the first one up. The difference being this time is that colder air is already in place across the whole region.

[Brass_Monkeys]

Good morning

Overnight low of -3.9C

Currently -0.6C dp -4.5C

Overcast and dry

[Liam J]

Becoming light and intermittent with the slight dusting beginning to thaw, needs to be heavier.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

That winchill is biting

[seasider]

Radar showing PPN over me at the moment. Not a flake. Temp sat at 0C

[itsnowjoke]

-2c here atm

[SparkleS]

0.8 here still, getting windy and very cloudy, the band looks like losing intensity and hasnt even got here yet.

[raul_sbd]

0.6 here and -3.7dp

[Liam J]

Got off to a good start but it's just light and melting faster than it can accumulate, lets hope it can intensify.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Lol, that front is pathetic.

[Darren Bown]

Lol, that front is pathetic.

I can't believe how quick that has gone, and how much time I spend on the forums reading up but only have a measly 2000 posts haha.

[Julian]

non-event incoming.

It is breaking up easily esp. for the south of the region.

[Snow free zone]

Light snow here in South Cumbria

[kaluja]

very light snow blowing around in the wind here

[Brass_Monkeys]

I hope the second band catches up with the first and injects some energy or else we won't be getting much more than a little light snow and a wet floor!

[Munchermark]

So whats this forecast 2 band? thought it was one

[trickydicky]

BBC Forecast this morning showed light precipitation in Cumbria this morning followed by the main band at about 1-2pm for the rest of the North West, nothing to worry about yet.
