After a lull heavy snow again. Can I get home that will be the question, love it what direction is the showers this am?

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

There is convection going on in the irish sea, but no streamer yet

Glad i didnt stay up now

[Liam J]

No snow here overnight well none has settled anyway, 1.8c with still the very strong westerly winds gusting up to 50mph making it feel bitter.

Another good covering out over Alston way, it was completely bare & green here yesterday - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/content/webcams/nenthead_webcam.shtml

[Dale Leigh_6487]

Blizzards now hyde se manchester huge flakes brilliant :-)))

[jam2010]

Strange we have got hale stone now on top of snow weird

[pip22]

If That nuisence mild sector wouldnt be here today I would've expect a full day of snow showers. I quite annoyed that they placed a warm sector for some stupid reason. It is a Arctic Blast for godsake. Can anyone agree with me?

Absolutely and it is a huge warm sector too given we are in a northwesterly, very frustrating but this winter has been one of constant promise and constant let downs for my location. Didn't even get a dusting from the last spell.

The showers should be packing in and pushing through the Cheshire gap but they're well scattered, can't understand it.

No doubt it will hammer it down this afternoon when it is all rain.

Savage snow here before. Nothing on the ground, went for a shower, looked outside, all major roads covered. Horrid conditions to drive. M60 is wrote off. Still snowing here.

[Bartlett Low]

Bus station stockport....heavy snow on and off.

[pip22]

Localize snow is not on either. I just want to be widespread heavy snow anywhere. No warm sectors thank you.

[upgrader]

Thunder & Lightning snow last night,,,,brilliant, dont think Ive ever witnessed that in my 53 years.

Currently temps are 0.4C and dew point is -0.4C.

Snow has turned to very fine hail.

[frankie01]

snowing now in liverpool

[swainclubber]

rochdale town center is thick with a slushy hail mixture yet where i live in syke a bit higher up it is pure snow with minimal hail. quite a big difference over such a short distance, sadly dew points rise at about dinner time here to plus figures so game over
