Memories of 1996. 12 hours of snowfall, 1ft of level snow, massive drifts and a week off work ,after a 6 hr drive back home from Sellafield ,including the Friday when the rain came and washed it all away.

Slight dusting overnight. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

It was -6C at 7.00am when I took the wife to work. Looks like there is a chance of a few snow showers clipping the coast later. I can’t say I’m looking forward to the change back to mild ,wet and windy at the weekend.

Just got back into the warm.It feels a different level of cold tonight after a brilliantly sunny day with a cloudless sky.I’ve seen few forecasts which have showers clipping the Cumbrian coast tomorrow but usually I just “enjoy” seeing them hitting the I.O.M on their way down to the Gap!

Slushy mess now!

Snowing and laying no problem here. That big clump of snow over Ireland looks to be heading this way.Hopefully it will stay as snow.

Probably nothing in it had that many times and dry as a bone 

Your not wrongIt has updated and the precip has disappeared! Nothing showing outside either.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

If this is anywhere near accurate then I should be seeing some falling snow very soon.

Some crazy statements in the mad thread again but better not say anymore I'll get deleted again lol

Also apparently we do not live in the “populated” areas of England!!!!

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Really heavy rain for the last hour or so, gusty wind. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Very frosty and clear.Car was covered in ice already .

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Crazy situation in the south of the County with us on the West Coast virtually dry all day apart from a few flurries. Hopefully everyone stranded can seek shelter until everything improves.

l have  just noticed an area of precip developing to the SW of the Isle Of Man which seems to be moving towards us, is this the reason for the Amber warning?

Sleet fest!!!!

Finally the clear skies that were promised this evening have come to pass, i've been waiting since Monday to catch this ISS/Moon Transit from the back-garden which was almost on the centreline at 19:43:26 and lasted for just under 1 second. Finding 'ISS Transit Finder' and knowing it's 100% reliable has made me now confident in being able to catch some Solar Transits in the months ahead.

Nice one I used the same thing a few years ago and got a solar transit. Very satisfying when you realise you’ve managed to capture it, that thing is quick!!!!

Torrential rain from a line of showers forming off the Isle Of Man.Its certainly a lot fresher out there now.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Small shower here, big drops and dark clouds to my West.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Just heard thunder from this. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Clouds developing to my East.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Few flashes and heavy rain from this. Wind has increased and the smell of petrichor.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Really warm and humid here now although it’s a lot fresher down at Whitehaven harbour. Clouds bubbling up nicely, it’ll be interesting to see if anything comes my way this evening. Camera charged and ready.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Damage in Whitehaven from last nights wind. It really was ferocious for a while and it seems it was a narrow band of strong wind as people in Workington and Cockermouth only a few miles further north didn’t experience anything like we had.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

The wind just went crazy for about 20 minutes, really violent gusts and what felt like ice pellets .I’ve just moved my car as it was next to a tree with it’s trunk visibly shaking.I looked on the radar expecting to see a squall line !
