Turning to snow Anfield goodison area

[Rob 79812010]

 Joe Bloggs Could the shield be when the temperature overall drops. ie as it becomes snowier and colder in Yorkshire, colder over pennines then snow becomes heavier so releases most of its moisture before getting to us. That sounds rubbish doesn't it!!

[damianslaw]

Noting the forecasters and broadcasters emphasis on 'high ground' now, but I've never seen a definition of what constitues high ground.. in lowland england I think 200m, around these parts I'd say 400m. 

 

[Joe Bloggs]

 Geordiesnow makes sense! However I have seen the shadow effect in operation in a 100% rain scenario in spring/summer so can’t be the full story.

I enjoyed the chase as much as today so not too bothered it’s raining. 
 

Just not cold enough. 
 

I’ll be amazed if anywhere in the yellow warning area ends up with 5cm

We had big flakes a few minutes ago - lasted about 2 minutes then reverted to general damp and rain!!!! 
 

gutted

Raining here but its got sleet mixed in with it.

[Iceaxecrampon]

Still Rain. 
 

Hang on. A bit of sleet…..

[Weather-history]

Temperature dropping here, hardly any wind and maybe sleet in the rain.

[damianslaw]

Very light precipitation so far, waiting for evaporative cooling to kick in.. 

[The Northern Ramper]

Light snow here, cars going past and some with snow on.

[WillinGlossop]

Ice pellets and snowflakes slushy deposits starting… grass and car… hills above white slushy… heavier precipitation heading up looking at radar… looking at roads clear atm snake/woodhead… gusty wind too

Definitely sleety here now

[Mark_p]

It's turned a bit sleety in heavier precipitation so that's a positive sign for those with elevation. I guess it shows some evaporative cooling is taking place. I don't think it will be enough down here though.

[A Face like Thunder]

Ten pages on from my last post and definitely rain rather than snow here as I found out earlier.

[Angel H]

Not even sleet here...just rain and rain despite every forecast saying it's snow

[RobR]

Plain old rain. Even in Stoke it is raining. This really is a Peaks event only. People spend hours model watching in the thread bigging these events up and look at outcome yet again. 

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Turning here now

[Snowmad79]

Still snowing moderately however the dusting has already melted off most surfaces. Not adding up to much and a poor snow event thus far.

[PennineMark]

Snow here still but its all dependant on the heavier stuff. Lighter bands bring a rise in temp and dp. Need something a little greener on the radar to get those temps down again. 

Snow is struggling to settle here at 200m on anything other than cars and grass. On the photo looking north over the village, there's a definite line at about 250m, where snow is settling. 

[Kasim Awan]

5/6cm here now.

[Day 10]

Hang on lol, sleet.

[Alexis]

Just turned a bit sleety

[Iceaxecrampon]

Sorry to say. But there may be an ever so slight amount of smugness from our South East cousins

[mountain shadow]

So, snow level is about 800 feet then?

Ain't going to impact very many then.
