Lightening

[itsnowjoke]

Snowing a little

Snowing harder

[shadowfax]

Thunder in Bury but nothing coming out of the sky yet although a very funny colour

[Dr. Astro]

Yes, the cold air is digging in this region now and should rapidly start to turn from sleet & hail to snow as the day goes on.

 

Irish Sea is looking quite convective too, and can see Anvils moving in, probably all hail at the moment, but that cold air is digging in.

Heavy snow about 30mins ago, progressively lighter and trailing edge of blue sky coming into view.  Nice to have flakes instead of hail / graupel for the first time this winter.  Feels a bit more wintry.

[Mokidugway]

Sleet and a rumble of thunder ,cool ...

[Miamay]

Its gone dark here too. Trying to rain and its a cold wind

I've just lost 15 valuable minutes of my life reading through a load of a garbage dressed up as model discussion, I'm surprised some of the more knowledgable folk bother posting in there as it reminds me of a school full of naughty children. IMO it's still looking good from today onwards with several snow events possible over the next 7 days at least, with even a February 96 type event possible.

Sunny spells and calm here, I kid you not

Dusting at work.

[The Northern Ramper]

Hail but will soon be snow here

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Slight dusting when I was leaving eg remount and very heavy snow got to big rig which is about 30m higher and it was laying on the roads, nowt past Whaven, pretty peed off tbh I had to leave snowy eggy

[Mountain Snow]

Moderate snow, 2cm covering. Hasn't looked this wintry for a long time!

[Will Padz]

Temp 1c dew -1c..... Snow shower in distance towards manchester.... Incoming? Or near miss?

[Snow free zone]

We remain snowless in Preston but you can't say the weather isn't interesting.  Rain about 7.30 quickly followed by thunder and lightning and a heavy hailstone shower that lasted long enough to leave a covering.  Made the first part of the journey to work interesting.  Sleety mix up towards Lancaster as well.  

 

Although all the snow is now out of the forecast for Preston for the weekend these showers will give a few surprises for those further inland i'm sure.  As for here, we wait patiently for falling snow .... now well into our third consecutive winter without that.       

[SparkleS]

Thunder,lightening and hailstones this morning as all our windows are out! Lol we are having all new windows in today! Least its not windy!

[The Northern Ramper]

Light covering on roofs in Cockermouth, the fields I can see out of my window seem well covered. Localised coverings in West Cumbria judging by other posts. Probably thinner nearer the sea.
