Thunder here
-
As is often the case with a N/NE wind direction, very little in the way of rain here up to now. Dry dull and cloudy in the main.
-
Hail and snow showers here on and off for the last hour. Hadn't expected even a shower out of this so a bit of a surprise. Must be more of a n/nw rather than the usual straight northerly.
-
Rain has arrived here. What a difference 24hrs makes.
-
Few small flakes blowing about in the wind here.
-
It's a nailed on cert that the heavy rain forecast for tomorrow will arrive just the way it seems to happen for us. Its quite bright at the moment will get another walk in for sure this afternoon before the mild muck gets here.
-
Time to dust off the deckchairs . Our boiler has already decided its had enough, second day running I've had to defrost the thing, and it's one of those new fangled condensing boilers, the ones that never freeze up. Going to move the outlet pipe as its exposed to the E wind, that's where the problem is.
-
Same. We actually have the lightest of light snow falling here.
-
A vapour trail, can't remember the last time I saw one of those
-
For decent frontal snow here we need it to be realy coming in straight from the Irish sea ideally placed straight up and down the coast in a n/s line and as long as the cold pool in situ is cold enough .... bingo. That's what happened in 1996. You're right, anything from the sw is a non starter here. Fizzles out before it gets here or splits ending up going up the coast heading towards the s lakes.
-
It's the closest we'll get
-
Why does this keep happening
-
Another impressive build up of snow overnight here. Can't wait for the weekend
-
Completely dry 2 days here. The difference is tonight looks like being much colder than last night.
-
Showers managing to miss here again today. Currently looking like they are 2 or 3 miles to the south of here.
-
And here
-
Saw that lot whilst I was out. Passed just to the N of me looked pretty impressive seeing the snowy fog from a distance away.
-
Just been out for a wander. Been this kind of day here. Somehow all the showers have found a way to bypass here. This was looking almost directly west on my way home.
-
PPN definitely following general line of the ribble valley. Same thing happens quite often during the summer with storms going in the opposite direction. Get a great view of all the lightning out of our front room window, same now looking at the clouds passing s and se of here.
-
Nice ! Sun's out here. Can see all those clouds just to the S of here.
-
Interesting to look at the gaps where the showers are coming across the hills. Plenty sedbergh and Kendal area, then there's a few making it through between Blackburn/Leyland area then more organised to the east of Manchester. Gap to the N of Preston up to say Lancaster at the moment. Ties in with the higher elevations to the east perhaps ?
-
Think it's heading south over Leyland again. Following similar track to the showers this morning.
-
Seemed to broadly follow the line of the ribble valley and remained intact, whilst the stuff further N breaks up over the trough.
-
Off topic ..... just reading about the 2 wild campers on Red Screes breaking lockdown regs, who called Mountain rescue leading to one of the Patterdale rescuers ending up in hospital. There really are no words for some folk ☹ unbelievable.
-
All managed to miss this part of Preston to the south. Went down towards the S of the river. Leyland/chorley look like getting battered ATM which is what happened in 2018.
