Had some snow falling earlier, really vicious winds today. Strongest all winter I think in terms of the consistent nature.

iand61 I managed to cut the front and strim the jungle out back in the dry spell today. Dreading the full cut out back, grass is so long but underneath is boggy as anything.

I really need to cut my lawn but looks like no window of opportunity this week, the grass and soil is just saturated but given the mild winter it is in dire need of cutting.

Some snow in the mix now, what a rotten day.

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.

Interesting to see the warning zone shift south again, not that I think the description that accompanies it increases confidence in snow in low lying parts. I think it's just a cover your back warning. I guess cold rain is in order with sleet. Then again do i want a big dump if temps are due to be 10c on Friday, probably not.

I'm not getting interested in Thursdays snow as it will likely be a cold rain or snow to rain event for this low level.

Winds potent but rain weak. Looks potent up north

Some mental gusts then, lots of crashing around.

More pace to the winds as mentioned here. Enough to blow me along in the open parts of our estate.

Cheshire is well sheltered from a SW’ly. A NW’ly is a different kettle of fish! We cop those.
Yeah it really isn't amber worthy for this part. We had worse around Christmas. Not even any bins on the street have moved!

Too much plane chatter in both local and this thread. I love watching the planes land and the impacts but let's face it, planes will be diverted all the way through this evening.

Winds are lighter here now than earlier today. Rain has eased a bit too. Windy shows it gusting to 50mph but I can't see that being right. A friend down in Stafford says it's very bad so maybe we are sheltered.

Funny how the rain never struggles to find us here in the NW a much milder drizzly start - its a real shame the cold weather couldn’t have held on for the weekend as it is doing in the States
They next week also are seeing a big warm up though from the big freeze they have been in this past week going against the myth that the UK & USA/ Canada can’t be cold at the same time, Washington DC seeing freezing -3c highs today, 16c/ 17c by the middle of next week.
To be fair it's rare we both have cold and warm at same time especially both being warmer as the deep cold they get usually fires the jet stream up.

Great to see the region doing well. I was happy seeing a 1cm in Nantwich this morning. That puts us at three days of falling snow this Winter which ain't bad for low land.

Snow falling for a second night again. Would love a surprise covering for the morning

Radar shows a touch of snow should have fallen but doesn't look like it outside.
And now it is snowing

A wild night here at low level for sure. Constant rattling and wind howling. The length of this will certainly cause some issues.

Just been to Cheshire Oaks and some vicious gusts around there, needless to say the Ferris wheel wasn't running.
Lots of big twigs down on the road back, though nothing significant gust wise whilst driving but back home it seems to be worse again now.

Drizzle here, shame. Mind you perfect day to stay inside and do the tree even if snow is melting.

I didn't realise rain was forecast all day today, thought we had one last dry day and a chance overnight. What little snow we did have is rapidly melting. My mate in Stafford was plastered, just shows the main front was just a bit south.

Belting down with snow between J13-J14 of M6 which tallies with radar currently.

I thought the last had passed through but it's pepped up again. No idea where from as radar shows us right on the edge under light stuff.

Certainly a wild day, I wonder why this wasn't a named storm? There has been a lot of fallen trees and general debris around. It's the longevity of the winds really.
