4 minutes ago, I Cumbria Marra I said:

The BBC graphics at 8pm didn't look too bad even for low ground, we could maybe see some snow falling but nothing laying except above 200M and its due about 3am in the morning, will probably set my alarm.

I think I'll give that one a miss.

the damn thing goes off at 5.15 anyway, snow or no snow.

Winds picking up again here.

Just been outside and I can hear them loading the gritters in the depot across the road, they load with diggers and shake the buckets to empty them.  Currently clear and cold.

Let me know when they've fitted ploughs to them, although it's that long since they were used they've probably seized up.

Will send some cardboard snowploughs asap .........

[iand61]

Doing something again outside but I don't know whether it's rain or snow and can't be bothered to go and look.

They've got a fleet of shiny new gritters at the Bacup depot so cardboard ones will probably have less chance of scratching the paintwork.

Right I'm off to bed early start Tommorow again so hope you all get some dandruff in the night good luck people's 

[lukemc]

Just letting you know I am going to stay in the Peak District for a short break for 3 nights on 13th February - what do yo think of the chance of getting winteriness based on forecast for that time - being high ground should be better than Liverpool do you think we are still on for a cold snap around that time?

[Thunder Snow]

So sick of the model thread tonight about next week's storm that's going to hit southern area, erm hello we have been hit by the bloody things since November deal with it rant over

[pip22]

Hail again here.

[Backtrack]

Frequent showers of rain, hail and snow. Feels cold. 

[James M]

Last couple of showers have had a mixture of hail, sleet and snow.

[cheshire snow]

Interesting drive home from work,heavy  showers  of hail and snow

Not hopefull of the little feature coming down from Scotland, we

Shall see what the morning brings.

[Miamay]

Still quite windy here. Was sleety showers earlier this evening

[weatherobsuk]

Looking towards Ireland and already the morning's snow is on the way, and plenty of it to come too with the irish sea temps likely to ramp-up any PPN as it moves inland towards the Fylde coast.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

It looks further west than forcast

[weatherobsuk]

Perking up over the Irish sea now as expected, a case of seeing how far inland the band/s of ppn make it.

I watched the forecast this morning it shows snow heading down from Scotland to over us. I doubt it would snow here it is too very marginal obviously apart from higher ground.
