Snowy Liverpool1

I should hope so, dew point is easily low enough for snow to settle so it should be far easier tonight. If only they were this low yesterday!

Just as the snow was beginning to stick, it's almost stopped now!

What's all this about snow melt, the warmest 850s were at 3pm today, they've already started getting colder.

PPN seems to have fizzled out around coastal areas of NE Wales and NW England. Flakes are tiny here now.

There are still areas, mostly areas of grass which suffered a total thaw earlier, that the snow just won't settle on. Elsewhere it's doing fine, around 5cm of fresh snow since the afternoon. Dew point is 0c but it must be in the 0-0.4c range, rather than the -0.4 to -0.1 range. Colder dew points are set to move south later so this should help.

Small flakes here now but heavy. Accumulation getting easier now that it's dark.

Seems to be settling easier now, around an inch so far. Currently 0.8c with a dewpoint of 0c

Finally settling here, not much just 1-2cm but that's the hard part done.

Those temperatures and dew points just have to go down a bit for snow to stick. It's now 1.3c here, was 2.1c about half an hour ago. Dew point of 0.

Absolute whiteout though still struggling to accumulate. Getting the foundations is the hardest part though.

Temperature dropping with the heavy snowfall now. 2.1 to 1.7 in around 10 minutes. Making a better effort at sticking but not quite there yet.

ok fair point. I was in Leeds when the January snow events happened so I can't complain

We're only suffering from 1 snow shadow from North Wales mountains, spare a thought for the people to our east suffering from the N. Wales snow shadow and the Pennines snow shadow.

The band has arrived here in Liverpool. Light-moderate snow, not sticking at the moment, guessing I'll have to wait till 6-7pm for that to start.

That north wales gap is closing on the latest radar. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observations/baltasound#?tab=map&map=Rainfall&zoom=7&lon=-2.13&lat=53.90&fcTime=1363916700
