[R.P. McMurphy]

Yup, wet & horrible... But Winters coming if UKMO comes off we will all be rolling in white stuff.

[itsnowjoke]

well heres hoping but there always seems to be a fly in the ointment.

Nice burst of hail here just as the rain cleared. Quite pleasant now. Current January rainfall is 10mm off the average with a week to go at http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=ITRAFFOR3

 

This is the first time in the 11 winters I've spent in Manchester where I've not seen a soingle snowflake by this time. Remarkable.

Some pretty heavy wintry showers coming through leaving my first cover of hail/slush of the season. Temp fallen to 2.6c with icy cold winds.

 

 

 

[Snow free zone]

Blimey Liam .... thats more than I had on the ground last winter as well

[Liam J]

Suns out now and it's just about melted, temp back to 4.3c. 

[Snow free zone]

Tell you what it really needs to dry out sometime soon round here.  Fields have stopped draining, run off from last evening/this morning just going straight onto roads in places.  Plenty more to come tomorrow and over the weekend by the looks of it as well ....

Just had a few flakes in the bitter cold wind here, nothing settled though

[davacr123]

Now very heavy hail

[pip22]

According to Jay Wynne's bbc forecast just now he says ''its gonna turn colder early next week''. He does not said mid-week next week. I confused now.

[toggerob]

A few flakes of snow mixed in with the rain here currently, temps need that -1'c drop for anything significant to start falling however.

[Mountain Snow]

Heavy snow showers pushing through here, has knocked the temperature down to 2.4C. Actually feels like winter today!

[toggerob]

Went dark for a few minutes as another shower pushes through, accompanied by snail (snow and hail).

[Lake District Blizzard]

2 heavy snow showers here, temp 1.9c 

 

only 2nd day of falling snow here this winter, better than none at all i guess

[SparkleS]

Blue skies and sun now but bitterly cold in the wind

[Lake District Blizzard]

[itsnowjoke]

[Mountain Snow]

Jealous! Where abouts are you located? Struggling to stick here, just not heavy enough. 

[I Cumbria Marra I]

had a couple of heavy hail, sleet and rain showers but another hail shower has just passed through and it was probably the heaviest hail shower iv ever seen, it was a whiteout and there was a covering on the roads, paths and roofs, it was probably about 1cm in some places, it only lasted 5 minutes aswell, and it was quite soft. And theres another one on the way! they normally lose alot intensity coming from a NW direction over the sea.

Going a bit dark again here.

Northern end of Bassenthwaite Lake, snow was very heavy and lasted around 15 mins, hence a good covering, suprising as you have 100m on me, must be down purely to intensity
