Highway in the Sky section was closed for much of the day as was the M66 down Rammy and the roads from Burnley to Rawtenstall and Bacup we’re both blocked by snow so let’s see if tomorrow brings an improvement.
-
A couple of trees down in Bacup now, this wind really is nasty and warrants a warning in its own right.
-
I’d have thought you should be ok and the tops will look stunning in the snow. getting here might be the issue if the roads don’t open again.
-
Agreed it is getting nasty up here now and just the sort of conditions which can ice over and bring down power lines. Just spent 20 minutes wrapped up clearing a path up the drive and it was absolutely bitter but the relentless fine snow being blown off the moors is covering it again in no time at all. even the winds of the March 2013 blizzard was tame compared to this and would easily be a killer for anyone out in it without the right clothing.
-
Confused with the 6am BBC forecast. it shows today’s system not reaching this far north before heading towards Ireland with us remaining dry. but then it had a big area of snow across us on Saturday although nothing mentioned.
-
And hopefully that system down south heading this way and then stalling right over our region before a reload a day later. Sorry but i’m being greedy now.
-
Full blizzard conditions in Bacup at the moment. i’m not sure how much more snow has fallen overnight as it’s just blowing into drifts but it’s certainly the best effort since March 2013 with the added bonus of much colder temperatures. could be an interesting journey down the valley to work.
-
Quite a few streamers setting up over to the east which may give anyone lucky enough to be under them a decent dumping this evening. thats providing they make it over here of course.
-
I think i’m under that yellow bit somewhere
-
Yeah it’s nice to get in on the action.
-
I’m not greedy mate, enjoy it.
-
That’s got Bacup’s name on it.
-
Decent depth of snow here now, probably around 5-6 inches from a good number of showers during the day. yesterday was disappointing IMBY but today has pulled it round again and it’s been snowing hard for the last hour. just hope the showers intensifying across the east reach here.
-
A couple of inches of level snow here and as everything has either gone north or south of me overnight, little top since I went to bed. not a breath of wind and other than it being -7c it’s a lovely early morning. and i’m only 30 miles north of you...........not jealous really.
-
Heavy snow here but it’s looking like just a short lived rougue shower with normal service of starry skies soon returning.
-
They’ve been obsessed with everything southern throughout the 10 years i’ve been a member on Netweather.
-
Compared to others it’s been a poor day here for snow with showers to our south and north and a gap between them pretty much throughout bad this morning but more to do with bad driving and a lack of gritting than than the bit of snow that fell.
-
BBC forecast shows plenty of snow showers crossing the region today and tomorrow, just hope it comes off. Friday’s low, it showed the snow reaching the southern parts of the region but ended there although hopefully it was just the point where the graphics ended rather than it’s northern extent. meanwhile it’s still snowing lightly here and very slowly adding to the inch or so I already have.
-
Another large shower looks to be heading into the region from North Yorkshire at the moment.
-
its good to see most of the region joining in the fun as just shows how the final location is so difficult to pin down. here with had about 3cm so far and it’s still falling lightly.
-
That’ll do nicely, it looks like it’s touch and go though whether Moki is inside or outside of the top line. as they wouldn’t say in the Mod Thread, you need a slight northerly correction.
-
We’re always chilled in here. expect nowt and then everything is an upgrade.
-
Get your red crayon out again and point it in our direction and then draw a bloody big wall to either side of it.
-
Looking at the radar, the first area of snow in the North Sea is intensifying as it approaches the NE coast. whether it fizzles again over land remains to be seen but it’s current track along with big Bertha following behind looks to be heading our way.
-
If it gets busy they might have to open another regional thread.........oh wait.
