Bahhh... Saw a cloud had finally made it past the Stoke Snowshield, and it's just Snizzly Graupel.

So Lucky (compared to where I am) everything from last night melted. Had a small graupel shower that left a tiny bit sitting on the windowsill and pavement cracks. Got a sparse few tiny (re. microscopic) flakes that are just blow-overs from the moor's constantly drifting by but that's all so far.

Same, considering it's basically been snowing for about 2 hours here now there's barely anything on the ground. Oh well, hopefully it'll pick up and there'll be a nice covering by the morning.

Still snowing here but not sticking at all. How is it not sticking, day time temps have been around 1C, currently just below 0C and dp's are at -3.5.

Just started snowing, light but decent size flakes, about old 5p size.

There is a high point there, gets up to about 1180 foot (The old Hooton quarries dig into it). Wirksworth's at around 500foot, so quite a gradient change but it is a steady gently increase rather than a sudden steep incline, so much less noticeable.

Also Lamppost watching but nothing here yet. T_T

Looking at the animation on meteosat website, that blob is moving northwards and is getting sheared westwards and ripped apart at the same time. It's the lighter grey cloud layer that's moving eastwards that's bringing the snow.

Prays ferverently to Khione in hope that she sends some snow our way. ?❄ (For anyone that doesn't know Khione is the Greek Goddess of Snow, and daughter of Boreas, Bringer of Winter )

Can't hear any sound, but unsure if that just because it's quiet. Plays for a few secs then buffers for a few secs (repeating). EDIT: just turned my volume up can hear very quite music when it plays.

Throwing this here for anyone interested, this is NASA's near realtime orbital swathe satellite images of the globe. They have 4 different satellites you can swap between at the bottom of the control bar on the left. Should give some nice images of the snowcover if we get a clear day before anything melts away. images/preview.png EOSDIS Worldview WORLDVIEW.EARTHDATA.NASA.GOV The NASA Worldview app provides a satellite's perspective of the planet as it looks today and as it has in the past through daily satellite images.

Getting the odd barely there dust 'flurry' that lasts about 2 mins here but that's all. *angrily shakes fist at Pennines* Wonder if we in S-O-T could Petition to get the government to bulldoze the Pennines down to about 700 foot so we get some easterly snow! Cloud's could make it over then.

Just started again, heavier than before and BIG flakes

I'm directly East of you, and saddly to say it's now stopped again. Though looks like it's finally made it over the moors and is heading in fast

Snow \o/ ❄❄ Radars showing nothing over me so must be blowing all the way from Leek o_O

Higher cloud base maybe? Wouldn't get 'caught' then.

Yup, been watching it fading myself Just checked and Cloud base is apparently around 800 foot, Moorlands to the east are 1000 foot, needed a much higher cloudbase to make it over. Lest we got a bit of a flurry earlier though.

So Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer, all in one day

For me it just needs to make it over Cheddleton/Leek area, as considering the direction it's coming in from, that's the last major moorland 'peak' in that direction (for me anywho). Will be well chuffed if it makes it past.

Temps down to 2C, DP at 1C and dropping fast. May get that dp at 0 just as the precip arrives here.

This isn't the 'Beast from the east #2' This is a different thing. But because Beast#2 affects the south east, that takes preference over EVERYTHING else weather related on the news/mod thread. _______________________________ Watching the main band getting closer now, fingers crossed it makes it over the moors Snowing quite vigerously up at the Winking Man The Winking Man | Webcam WWW.WINKINGMAN.CO.UK Please ask for permission to post images from this webcam/Camsecure/website COPYRIGHT © 2015 THE WINKING MAN, UPPER HULME.

Seems to be 'pulsing' in little bursts. Big enough to stick around on the grass for a bit (long enough for it to build up if there was more intensity to it). Layer of icy slush on the car roof's/bonnets too.

Full on Big snowy flakes, Party time!
