Oh god I'm so sorry everyone! No more premature excitation I promise! Glad I didn't say red, would've been tracked down and eliminated!

Looks like some of us are gunna get some real heavy stuff on Friday, Shame the rain sweeps in from weekend , will cause possible floods if we get as heavy snow as meto are saying on Friday.

It would have been all the northwest apart from West Cumbria

[Liam J]

It would have been all the northwest apart from West Cumbria

Yes everywhere bar Cumbria covered with an amber warning, thats fine as we'd have a red one

[R.P. McMurphy]

I'm starting to get GREATLY concerned about Saturday's "Perfect Storm", is anyone else picking up on this at the moment?

Not too sure what you mean here by "Perfect Storm" - I see some wind & some rain. A slight exaggeration there!

[pip22]

The snow risk has jumped up from 9% to 40% on Friday. http://www.netweathe...l-it-snow;sess=

Blimey. The places that have not thawed at all or very little may get all-snow event on Friday but other places are pretty much a snow to rain thing. Looks like the below have names of members present are back on.

Perhaps because the weather is getting boring next week. (sighs)

Oooh ,turned clear here thank god.I'm awfully sick of cloud,current temp 2c.

Edited January 23, 2013 by greybing

[chiffer]

Temps gone up to 2.5 here :s very unimpressive!

[Liam J]

Got a dusting from those snow showers they weren't heavy but enough to cover up some of the surfaces that have thawed out. Just need the temp to fall a fraction from 0.3c to preserve it.

[itsnowjoke]

-1c here

Feels really cold.

[chiffer]

Aslong as there's a good hard frost Thursday night I'll be happy!

Snowing again here.

Jo Blythe of ITV granada is good looking and she said there is going to be snow on friday temps of 1C.

Edited January 23, 2013 by Fresh_Prince_Of_Leyland

[Liam J]

Nasty conditions as everything freezes over just dipped below freezing -0.1c with a few decent cloud breaks beginning to develop.

[Snowstorm nw]

It's very quite on here

[snowdrifter]

Anyone see Oxberry? What did she say about Friday?

[Brass_Monkeys]

Anyone see Oxberry? What did she say about Friday?

Not much, just said 2-5cm with 10cm on the hills. Didn't go into any great detail as per usual.

[Backtrack]

A succession of light to moderate snow showers today, none of which stuck. Skies will largely clear after midnight, allowing temperatures to drop to -5 or even -6C.

Currently 0.9C.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Another snow day here! Light-Mod snow for about 5 hours hardly settled at all.

[Chris Henderson]

Another snow day here! Light-Mod snow for about 5 hours hardly settled at all.

I am glad that you have had at least something. Barrow to Millom has had light crap all day with temps fluctuating between 0c and 3c.

Nothing in Kendal at all I was told. Odd that it was on the coast only. The odd flake in Hawkshead too though. Kendal cloudy and 1.3c at the

moment. Not had a hard frost yet here. We look to Friday but I feel won't be that spectacular in Kendal.

[Louise]

Strange day today, even though we have quite a thaw going on, we've had plenty of snow flurries all day. We're usually on the wrong side of marginal here!
