Yeah I did yeah I saw it  for Wallasey just strange because Halewood is further south but not showing there.

Oh well don’t even know why I’m bothering to analyse in such detail. It’s addictive, should stick to WTF.

Showers starting to gang up to the west. Lots of overnight activity to come.

 

We're starting to get heavy hail showers here now...

1.0/0.2 here. Surprisingly quite a bit lower than either I orr  WRF was expecting.

Correct lol

[SnowWatcher2]

If we manage to get a few decent showers, should easily build up as that small sleet shower has left a covering already.

The cold air must be filtering in from the NW now then as those values are lower than here and you are closer to the coast

WTF sounds much better. 

[Snow free zone]

Rain changed to hail in the heavier bursts but mostly still rain here. 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Actually, just checked again...we've dropped to 1.3C now with a DP of 0

[SnowWatcher2]

I can thankfully say Net weather where wrong >

[Cheshire Freeze]

If you run the radar back, you can see the winds are turning more NW'ly now too

What's going on with your double post's, mind you if it means double the snow then carry on. 

[Backtrack]

Wouldn’t pay any attention what so ever to Netweathers abysmal automated forecasts. They have no human input, they are NEVER right and they’re based on one GFS run. I’d have more faith in a chocolate fire guard. 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Dropping fast -0.2 DP here now, a 0.2 fall in just 10 minutes.

Plummeting here too. Way colder than expected and no Irish Sea modification. I have high hopes!

Yes it's gone all of a sudden here, like there has been a subtle change in airmass.

Unlike you, it will be dependent on whether I can get the precipitation here. You will not have that issue. I need the winds to be NW'ly enough, otherwise the showers will clip to my N &E

I think they used to be but they upgraded recently...not that it makes much difference, still just as bad.

"Local weather forecasts upgraded

The 7 day forecasts have recently been upgraded and are now updated up to 12 times a day. They use a blend of the Met Office UKV model along with our in house NetWx-SR and NetWx-MR models. This ensures the most acccurate forecasts possible. Hourly forecasts are available for the first 48 hours of the forecast, with three hourly forecasts after that."

I don’t know whenever I press “quote it quotes  twice very annoying. Really fiddly to delete the extra quote though so just leave it.

[Chris.R]

0.7/-0.3 now, should be conducive. Next shower should be in 45 minutes.

[Cheshire Freeze]

-0.5 DP now, falling so fast

[Had Worse]

Just had a fleeting hail shower leave a tinkle on the conservatory roof.

[iand61]

A bit of a rogue shower has just put a covering of snow down here.

Looking at the alignment of the showers and our usual luck in these situations, I wasn’t expecting anything at all overnight and tomorrow but the flow seems to be more of a westerly so maybe some surprises after all.
