The Yellow Snowman

Interesting 18z, most of the heat sadly looks like it's going to be east and south of us here in the north west. Still, if it verifies, no rain and temperatures ranging from 18-22°C is hardly anything to complain about. If only I lived about 100 miles south east!

Seems to have got over the Pennines ok in the last hour or so. Large-ish flakes with no real intensity have just started falling here.

Nothing other than snizzle has fallen today, contrary to what the radars have said. Does anyone have any idea why they have been getting it wrong?

The radar has no idea, the met office haven't even forecast it so I think it's down to now casting.I can't imagine we'll get anything significant though.

I'm pretty sure the radars are incorrect again with their intensities. Apparently under moderate snowfall when there's actually nothing but light snizzle.

Unless it fizzles out quickly I don't see why not. The last few radar shots have shown it becoming larger every time.

The radar is showing some moderate precipitation intensifying whilst edging north over Liverpool. Could be quite interesting.

just look at the Isle Of Man, absolutely pasted.

The joys of cable!

Two/three memorable events in one winter. More than makes up for a snowless 2012 for me!

That sounds painful to watch!Even North Manchester is apparently starting to get a cover now! Where's the nearest place you know of to have snow settled?

Must be past 10cm now in my garden, looking good.Looking at the unreliable radar, surely we have a long long while before this event ends? Looks like it has enough in it to get through to at least tomorrow afternoon.

It's as heavy as its been all night if not easier right now. This is brilliantly ridiculous. I keep forgetting its nearly April!

It is! Hoping it's still snowing in the late morning, that would be brilliant!The models suggest it should be, the radar doesn't seem to have an idea what's going on tonight! For a winter with no real prolonged cold and no long spells of snow on the ground, we've had so many days with snow falling. A couple of memorable events now, all on Fridays.

Just went for a walk around the street & took some pictures.
