westy

I can see a slither of blue sky and it has stopped snowing now here in Lytham.

Just a few flakes blowing around now, in Lytham

It has been snowing on the coast here in Lytham since about 8.30am not showing any sign of slowing just yet

Huge flakes of snow falling for the past 45mins, after rain initially. Its very slippy under foot in Lytham so take care.

Check out the latest met office forecast!!!

woke to a clear sunny day. In the last hour it has turned to rain and wind. Stay safe! those in the most affected areas thinking of you all good luck

Amazing photos, thanks for sharing!!

Very very intense rain here, Lytham St Annes at the mo with thunder and lightning.

mostly sunny, windy, Temp 5c

biggest one I have been in was a 6.4... pretty hair raising stuff, but I lived in NZ for years and you get little tremors all the time there

Hi Rikki Yes I think so. My Hubby was downstairs and didn't feel a thing

It was recorded as a 4.7 in Kingston upon Hull on USGS It woke me up and I'm in Lytham Lancs!!

could be your right about the shoes Seriously though I hope the farmers get some rain relief soon. Can Westport actually attract the tourists ...oh yeah there's always the coalmines, ooh and the seal colony, ooh ooh and the jet boat rides and while weré at it the drive along the gorge can be exhilarating during extreme rain. I love NZ! I like to go back as often as I can, it's great for all sorts of passtimes even if it's just watching the tide roll in on a summers afternoon.

Wow thanks for that JO I lived in Westport (West coast S.I ) for a number of years and it was very green and lush. Canterbury was always drier, but don't remember it being quite so bad. Do you think the mountain range has anything to do with it? My daughter says it is very warm in Westport at present. As a child in the 60's I remember there being hose bans in Auckland, it was so hot the ashfelt was melting on roads and the tar would stick to your shoes (jandals) ugh!

Sunny here, with dense clouds heading south out in the Irish sea, I reckon snow for Liverpool... just a novice guess. Temp 6c, feels colder, blustery winds .
