Snowing now

5th day of falling snow in a poor winter.

North Staffordshire and the Peak District has been the sweet spot for snow this winter. Still a very poor winter overall

[I remember Atlantic 252]

wet flakes again!

Yep. Well below average number of days of snowfall and snow cover here.

Suns out now ,

but in my location 4 th month in a row with at least falling snow

[Polar Maritime]

Warnings out now for tomorrow and Monday for wind and heavy rain.

[Terminal Moraine]

A spell of very heavy snow has just ended. It put down almost 4cm in less than an hour. Plenty of cars struggling on the roads as a result.

[cyclonic happiness]

Suddenly windier than yesterday here right now?!

Tomorrow looks worse for this region too

It would be ironic if this hits us harder than Storm Eunice did. IMBY Eunice was just standard winter weather. 

[MattStoke]

Impressive looking line convection along a cold front that will cross our region tomorrow afternoon.

absolutely, pretty nasty here right now, definitely windier than friday for these parts!

[nobble]

Wind is getting stronger 

some big trees really moving 

looking in north west thread big squall coming next hour !!!

paying for benign January weather now 

[marksp]

River Derwent's high through Matlock, burst its banks in numerous places, and has been flooding the fields for several hours.

currently 2.94m due to hit 4.45m around midnight.  Normal range is half that !!

very high when you consider flood alerts to properties were set at 2.9m past that now. Just hope it does not flood the town again

Conditions are certainly getting a bit rough out there, the squall line can be seen on the image heading our way.

Within a cuple of mins, the light faded here we go HAIL and real strong gusts!!!!!

 

[LeeKay/]

look out @nobble

[Snowy L]

Squall has arrived here. Torrential rain and probably gale force gusts.

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Heavy hail and strong winds here at present. 

[nobble]

Squall in 2 parts 2 mins apart 

hail v strong gusty winds and sheet rain 

[Arctic Hare]

Very glad I'm not outside right now!

Tree down on the A456, Blakedown area. I wonder whether we may see a few of these that were weakened but not felled by Eunice on Friday.

[LeeKay/]

That was insane weather from such a small squall. I think my bins have done more miles than the space station!

[Eskimo]

Seem to be thankfully shielded by winds here. Squall came through but other than the intense rain, nothing much with winds. 

[Daffy]

Very wet. Roads flooded.  Just over 2 years since last flood. Wind lessening and temp dropping. Hoping the rain will slacken off.
