Photo from somewhere around Chesterfield posted on Facebook by Serena James, it's not that high up (nothing really above 170-180m is inhabitated unless it's at Wadshelf) but has seen some impressive depths!

Rain !!!!

[Dark Horse]

Currently driving back home from Tameside hospital, don't worry nothing serious just an appointment, but even up there at 155m there's no lying snow. falling snow but nothing on the ground. Aren't I glad I didn't get my expectations up.

[Day 10]

This was posted only 2 hours ago, what the hell are they seeing?

[Scuba steve]

Very heavy ice pellets/snow mix now. All kinds of sizes of ice pellets along with the occasional large snowflake some encased in ice.

[Winter Hill]

If this would have stuck from 7am this morning then the local Blackrod, Horwich and Bolton area would have been looking at 15cm+  even as I type massive flakes coming down here in blackrod.

 Day 10 Mmm interesting... tbf DP here in Glossop still sits at 0c with just 0.8c so perhaps a second band later on before the washout on Friday?

[Chris.R]

At least this bit of the forecast is going to plan then. This is the precipitation mix I expected at this time.
still very heavy ice pellets with the occasional large snowflake making it through the inversion. As it continues more and more of these flakes are making it through.

5 hours ago, Had Worse said:

You should have gone to Spec Savers. 

I've checked and the Amber is still there. 

That's what Mrs FLT is always saying to me! The amber warning now only covers E Midlands, W Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber, so maybe I missed it earlier.

[A Face like Thunder]

Rain has stopped but a chilly wind and generally  gloomy.

[Paul90]

What an absolutely miserable 'event' this has turned out to be, bring back the beast of 2018.

 Day 10 The MetO need to stop using pine cones for forecasting. Actually perhaps they should be using them?

Torrential mix of all three precipitation types now. Some snowflakes surviving the passage through the inversion some raindrops surviving as liquid to the surface having not enough time to freeze in the Sub zero layer just above because of the intensity and still some ice pellets. quite fascinating

[Nick123]

Heavy snow just west of Newcastle 

[Snowmusic]

 Winter Hill exactly! I’m in North Bolton just down the road from you and it is heavy now but if it had stuck I’d be ecstatic!! 

[Cheese Rice]

 damianslaw  south and west Yorkshire always do well. Of course I've moved to snow shield Manchester city centre. 

 

[Rain Lady]

Been light snow all day, borderline sleet this morning but afternoon snow sticking.  Strong E wind, so east facing surfaces are getting plastered.    Snowing heavier ay present.  Temp stuck at aboutt 1.2c .      Briefly lower parts of fells showing in one picture.

here temp 0c dew -1c been all day nearly… not sure with precipitation later… but bound to be wet/damp tomorrow 

glad you got to your appointment ok  

edit 0.5c dew -0.5c temp on the up… that wind is ferocious at times still… 

now the low cloud has cleared slightly can see the fields stripped of snow and built up over the dry stone walls
