North West Regional Discussion 30 December 2020 onwards

[frosty ground]

Looks petty heavy around the Liverpool area?

[Its snowing]

Been waiting all day watching the radar and finally it has started snowing ...nothing heavy, but any at all is good in my eyes.

[Backtrack]

Temp still hovering around zero. Sleeting. 

[Joe Snow]

Light snow has arrived in South Cheshire settling on the grass but too light to settle on anything else just yet. Bodes well for tonight hopefully  

[Backtrack]

Front back building. 

[Weather-history]

Eased up but still odd flakes falling.

Love being in the middle haha I know it isn't heavy but funny how this has happened over and over, need a rant. Been a long year this week. 

[severe snowstorm]

Just started snowing lightly here again. Mixture of snow and graupel.

Snow line is moving further E now anyway. It’ll only be rain

[Mark_p]

Raining at work, just got home - continuous light snow here it's leaving a dusting on the grass and favoured surfaces, plus any of the now very bedraggled ice/snow that's managed to survive for over a week now in the shaded areas. Goes to show how marginal these things are though - in Halewood it was our old nemesis cold rain, not that it's Narnia here mind.

Still waiting across here in Crewe! I was struck earlier by the amount of ice around at midday in the clear blue skies and sun, which largely disappeared after it clouded over between 2pm and 3pm. A case of cloud cover rather than winter sun raising the temperatures I suspect.

[SP1986]

Heavy rain now!

[griff74]

Very lightly snowing again here, so lightly I can only see it in the headlights of a car parked in front of my house.

Yeah this morning once the fog cleared was sparkling, lots of ice and hoar frost around. Just a light shower here main band is overnight into tomorrow morning fingers crossed for a covering 1-3cm possible if it maintains intensity and sticks. 

[jam2010]

reallt really light shower of snow, really odd as it has properly stuck unlike any thing we have had in the last couple of weeks.

Just had really heavy rain here in Llandudno

Bit of hail mixzd in. As you said, thoroughly miserable day.  Memorable only for the rare frost this morning.

I was checking out the traffic cams that way, visibility is very poor that way. I imagine those cameras at Rhuallt Hill and Halkyn might seen some snow if those heavy showers find their way there. 

I wonder if the top of Penmaenmawr quarry saw some snow at 400m asl.

Youd have though so. Going out now so will look over, but left it a bit late! 

[PsychedelicTony]

If its not snow on Rhuallt Hill theres no hope for here! 

[Backtrack]

The big flakes have arrived now the temp has dropped ever so slightly. Still an element of sleet in there though.

It appears to be snowing in Halkyn, but not Rhuallt Hill.

[Chris.R]

Heavy sleet, boring
