Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[A Face like Thunder]

Another wet start to the day, but quickly cleared to leave a half-decent bright morning with just a passing shower or two, but still on the chilly side.

From Leeming.

On my way into Glossop this morning and there was a bit of snow falling over the tops during the more intense showers, just enough for a few patches to have settled along the Snake Pass summit but it probably won't be there for too long now that the sun is out.

Pretty decent run up to Ayrshire snow above 2000 ft though a light covering Beattock summit summit misty with sleet at a pleasant 1,5c

About 1.30 I was driving from Rawtenstall to Bacup when the most incredible hail storm hit. Roads were awful like driving on ball bearings. Lasted about 15 minutes.

did it manage to fill the potholes in

Heard it on the factory roof in Haslingden but only lasted a couple of minutes there.
got home from work and there was still patches of white on the grass

Be nice to see a visible frost, when was the last one?? What a waste of a winter month it's been.

Lovely crisp, chilly morning.  0°C and sparkly frosty.  Birds water frozen over.  Going to be a clear beautiful sunrise.

[carl1980]

-1c frosty

-1.7c

[iand61]

Lovely start to the day although no signs of frost here.

Maybe my well earned weekend lie in means it had gone before I got up but even the usual spots in the garden are green so I reckon it stayed well above freezing.

A usable day coming up and I just hope that the chance of showers shown in the forecast is as low as the chances of winning millions on the lottery.

Nice sunny frosty start got down to -1c overnight. The first proper frost of February 2024 locally. 

[Dan B]

Low of -1ºC overnight with clear skies and a very light frost...

 

It's 1ºC currently and crystal clear skies; absolutely gorgeous!

[jimben]

All tops covered in the northern lakes. Min temp at valley level -1.5c Plenty of sunshine at the moment. Will be a great day on the fells  

[iand61]

Didn’t take long for the cloud to roll back in and the early brightness to disappear although if it stays dry I’ll take it.

as for the outlook, Louise on BBC breakfast weather said it’s going to turn more unsettled again into next week

sorry but I must have missed when it actually turned more settled at any time over the last eight months

[A Face like Thunder]

Nice to wake up to a cold, clear and sunny start to the day, and hopefully it will stay dry right the way over the weekend. 

[Chris.R]

Well that was a bit underwhelming, expected more convective action than that.

Had an air frost last night, first since 19th of January. Minimum -0.6°C.

Big orange ball in the sky now all morning, not sure what that is.

[WillinGlossop]

7c sunshine and clouds… bacon then drive to Bournemouth… speed trap at puddletown according to ways… says -1.7c at home overnight… looking at cameras decorator didn’t have to fight with our house alarm this morning

Sunny again now so off over the border for a bit of a walk along the canal and maybe a couple of beers before we come home again.
