North West England - Weather Chat

[pip22]

Still raining and I think it will stay like that much of this year now no doubt.

[shadowfax]

Been snowing for about 20 mins flake size increasing slowly as is wind speed. Not enough to settle yet but will when intensity better

[Thunderbolt_]

Giving the setup how can Merseyside get snow and west cumbria doesn't? the mind boggles

 

Strange isn't it? I wonder if there is some sort of cold undercut?

 

Light rain here now...

Yes it is getting heavier, I'd expect that the road summits at Deerplay and Sharneyford are starting to turn white by now.

Nothing settling down here though.

After half an hour of light rain there are now huge snowflakes in Warrington. Given the low altitude < 30 metres, places with higher elevation inland may get quite a fall.

[pip22]

Getting heavier and its trying its very best to snow here.

[karyo]

Light rain here but there us heavy precipitation just to the west of Manchester so it may turn to wet snow when it gets here shortly.

[karyo]

Oh my, it is already turning sleety now.

[pip22]

Proper snow!!!!

[clangers23]

Same here, gone from rain mixed with snow to proper snow over the last half hour. Now where did that come from?

That said it looks like it's snowing quite heavily, some of the flakes are 2 inch clumps, but when actually outside there is a lot of rain in it.

[Spah1]

eeeeerrrrr big wet snow!

[Oakwell]

It is snowing again here as well

[karyo]

I can see snowflakes mixed in now!

[Spah1]

Peaks in for it again!

[Day 10]

Rain then sleet in heavier bursts. Pitty that's good as it will get. Hey ho anything we get between now and end of March will be a bonus anyway.
