Drizzle here now.

Utter joke.

 

Probably means the showers coming in now from the west will be rain.

Think I'll give this site a miss tomorrow don't think I can bear to see areas 50 miles south of me getting buried.??

Could be a PS4 day playing COD world war11?

Still some snow lying on the ground mostly in shade.

Snap.. I've officially given up 

[i luv snow]

It's only been snow here in Swinton, Salford today and I have no altitude. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet so it will be a case of radar watching!

[chiffer]

they're even using the charts from the AROME on the model thread, why? :S

Aye, I'm only 93 m above sea level yet there is still a light covering of snow here and the dew point is just below freezing so I'm sure that if anything that does fall in the next hour or so will be frozen rather than plain old rain.

i suppose the only good thing is that the kids actually think it’s snowed. 

I’m not telling them it’s wet hail. 

[Chris.R]

 Heavy sleet and now heavy rain. 

[frosty ground]

Looks like showers are coming from the wnw direction and the West.. .. 

[Geordiesnow]

Still would not rule out some snow for those further inland tonight as the winds drop off and natural cooling takes places, its just a question whether the showers die out and can penetrate far enough inland.

As for tomorrow's event, just wait and see, i still be surprised if places like Manchester and Merseyside miss out. I think anyone north of Preston are out of it now but still some time for some wiggle room in this imo.

Manchester will miss out if the wind is south of east.... inteestingly for my locations the wind is from the east.

It's radar watching time now.... I've seen fronts move way north and south of forecast so anything could happen.

Snowing now... lightly but gonna get heavy
