Nowhere near the 3cm some in the region are reporting here, even 1cm may be generous. But still a decent covering nonetheless.

 

Very localised I think

First covering of snow of the year..About time..

But a covering of rime back in december was great..

Band of snow showers moving through now stopped..

 

[nobble]

I have measured areas not melted by sun and it is 3.2 cm or 32mm of snow

Love the Cheshire Gap. North westerlies never fail to deliver here.

Amazing how an Arctic sourced north westerly can turn things less cold.

Had a lovely walk, hope the magnet gap can bring a little more this way tonight

Hello, what's that popping up over Liverpool and Cheshire? Inland convection in January? Very strange.

The snow is hanging on remarkably well despite the higher temperatures. Still loads outside my office in one of the warmest parts of Stoke.

Because the air is dry so low dew points which keeps surface moisture cold. It would've melted fast under cloud cover due to higher humidity & dewpoints which encourages diabatic warming & increases surface moisture temps.

Looks like the Irish Sea is pepping up again - one to watch?

Piccies from earlier, not a bad effort I suppose, made this still crap winter better

Cheshire Gap alive again, but wind too northerly, looks like again heading mostly to Telford, maybe Gnosall area

New experience of running in snow, at my running club. Was nice and soft.

It’s heading for Brum, but my temps at 7pm …2.8c and dp 0.3c so sleet at best 🫣

[MattStoke]

Most models show some snow showers here tomorrow morning. Maybe a fresh dusting.
