You're not wrong.. I gave up posting in the model thread for this reason, and also because my one liners where being mistaken for wind ups. Still If you watch the models alot, you get a hint of when models are right and models are wrong.. All to often the best way to resolve whether a model is right or wrong, is to use your instinct.. overanalysis will results in analyses that aren't always correct.

each to there own stephen,there doesnt seem to be a reliable anymore and the posts are so confusing so dont go on there much now stick to the local thread

Heavy hail here now and it is covering the ground white rapidly now.

I'm not expecting anything. Showers around but it looks to me, most of them north of Manchester and LIverpool tonight due wind direction.

[SP1986]

Clear here, the westerly/southwesterly orientation is taking showers to the north of here cooling down slowly too, 4.7C currently.

[SparkleS]

Lol i finally manage to put my son down, go out for a fag, weather not doing out, get outside and get pelted by hailstones and wet snow! Lol

Had a very shortlived heavy hail shower a couple of hours ago but nothing since. Could see some sleety wet snowflakes overnight and it would be nice to see some first thing in the moment.

[bridgechad]

reports of snow in oldham none here yet in ashton but the precipitation is about to hit

[Miamay]

Nothing here

[James M]

Well its snowing here!!! 100% snowflakes but not sticking, who knows later on tonight? Won't get too excited though

[iand61]

Snowing hard here and sticking.

Also just had lightening and loud crak of thunder.

[Rnewbs]

Heavy hail shower just passed through

 

[I Cumbria Marra I]

We have had no ppn

[jam2010]

Nothing here yet rain of other wise .

[iand61]

Well, that's it winters over again.

10 out of 10 on the irritation stakes with just enough on my drive to make walking up it without crampons almost impossible.

[Mokidugway]

Doesn't seem to be that many shower's in irish sea at the moment ...

[davacr123]

Well nothing here at all

[Miamay]

Another damp squib !!

[iand61]

Showers seem to have a WSW alignment about them, nothing particularly unusual in that but to get snow from them certainly is, especially after the weeks of mild dross that's come from that direction.

If we can keep the feed going without to much mixing out of the cold we could finally see something of note across the region in the next couple of days.

covered white with hail a couple of cracks o thunder with a flash of lightening
