Back to rain now

[karyo]

Still sleet, more rain than snow.

Thanks. It changes from sleet to snow all the time here.

[Interitus]

but bizarrely doesn't seem to be affecting road near Flash Bar Store.

Ah it is very much so, their webcam was on the blink.

[Oakwell]

still snowing not laying on the road though

[Thunderbolt_]

Gone back to rain here. I think it's game over now.

[Liam J]

After rain all morning it's decided to turn to snow!

Same here. At least it was a better day than expected.

Certainly. I was forecasted rain all of today, but I've had a good hour of snow despite non of it accumulating.

It is always great to see it fall.

It is always great to see it fall.

 

Could get more this week, once we get this mild sector out of the way. It depends on what those showers are like tomorrow and Tuesday.

Not laying in glossop its too wet.... Huge flakes blowing sideways though.... Huge chunky flakes.... Only laying on cars and grass up here.... Theres a stream going down the road...

I think the southwesterly element of the wind may mean we are mostly dry tomorrow but yes there will be plenty more chances down the road as it looks.

[shadowfax]

Just been to Rising Bridge to buy some chicken food and was amazed to see how much snow was there, and on returning here its just the same, not good on the roads in some places where there's no grit, a bit slippy.  Still snowing here and cold in a strong wind.

[pip22]

Its raining now and may be stay as rain rest of eternity.

[Will Padz]

Completely stopped.... Nout falling from sky anymore.... Snake pass looks white.... And kinder.....

[Miamay]

Heavy snow here on m6. We not far from Penrith

[Miamay]

Its belting down

[damianslaw]

Still snowing here, heavy wet snowflakes, but alas it is very wet stuff and has only settled on grass, roofs and some other surfaces, with a slushy mess on the roads .Current temp 2.3 degrees but favourable dewpoints which has been crucial, without these being on the right side of marginal it would have just been cold rain.

 

Usual suspects are closed such as Wrynose and Kirkstone Pass, not a day to be out on the fells conditions terrible with whiteout conditions.

 

Expecting the snow soon to turn sleety and then plain rain as the warm sector invades over the next hour.

 

Tonight will see temperatures fall rapidly again once the warm sector moves through with conditions favourable for further snow at modest levels, but all will depend on where showers track. So plenty of snowy opportunities for Monday and Tuesday.

 

Edit - As expected it is now just rain, still we managed a 3 hour heavy snowfall albeit a wet one with only a cm cover on some surfaces.

[SparkleS]

We had just snowy sleety stuff about an hour ago, temp 2 degrees but up to 4.5 now i think and just rain

[damianslaw]

I said just rain half hour ago, but wet snowflakes again, an alternating snow/sleet/rain mix.

[SparkleS]
