Northwest England - Weather Chat

[cowdog]

Looking at the radar seems like the streamers have started. Some seem very intense, hope they don't bring rain for any of you and hope they make it far enough inland to us, they usually do then die off once they get on the east side of the Pennines.

Nothing much here apart from a few slushy deposits on cars and grassy areas.

Nice wintery look to the day.

2 inches of snow on the ground and the trees covered.

You don't have to travel much lower down the valley though before you arrive at "what snow, we haven't got any" as I found when I took my daughter to work at silly o clock.

Hopefully today will be a good chance to get out and take some pictures of that rarest of beasts, snow in the North West of England and if the showers get going, maybe even some falling snow.

Temperature currently -1c.

[Liam J]

Frosty and icy this morning after yesterdays rain, temp 0c. 

[Weather-history]

A slight thaw overnight but skies cleared to freeze the snow and slush

[Iceaxecrampon]

Nothing but rain since 5PM here. Damp squid just like my football team. :-) Oyston out!!

Thats right.

Thought it couldnt get any worse but it has Nige.

What has gone on is unbelievable from this end of the M55

Yes nice drizzle here near Salwick

[Chris.R]

3° here, rain showers, all the snow has gone. Quite unlucky I feel.

[loubie_4]

2.3 here and raining also. Snow all but gone - a little left on the car. Temps look to be too high for us today to get any more snow falling I fear.

[iand61]

Still clear and dry here although some cloud out to my west.

Temperature still falling very slowly, currently at -1.4c, probably helped by the bit of snow cover.

[Miamay]

Gutted the snow has gone although that sky looks quite threatening

[Oakwell]

Very little snow here, but better than last winter, all looks frosty at the momment with temp of +1.5c

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Our snow is still here!!

[pip22]

Cold, Icy and frosty here.  Hopefully the showers will come and see surprise snow.

[iand61]

It looks like the showers are going to stay too far out west to reach here.

This may change but currently too much of a NW alignment for ourselves to benefit and the radar is showing little inland penetration across Scotland, something which we usually need to benefit here from this set up.

Good luck to those in the firing line in that what you get is white and not just wet.

[pip22]

Its only 3C top temp today according to my BBC weather app.

 

if the showers heavier enough here, I may see a decent covering in places.

Quite a few showers rolling in off the Irish sea, some quite heavy, of course, rain only. Currently 4.4c

[Hocus Pocus]

A patchy covering here though the fells are as expected all white, so that's it for the year 2014 then, unless todays forecasted showers amount to much.

[Mokidugway]

how much snow did you get in march 2013 Moki?

aprox 2inches I i remember correctly,a lot of drifting with that one ...

[iand61]

Temperature is now showing 0.9c although no signs of thawing from the trees, car etc and dew point -0.6c.

Some cloud rolling in from the west but no signs of anything coming from it and not a breath of wind.

All in all a lovely winters day and a set up which is a long time overdue.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

missed all the showers here which is no surprise

[toggerob]

More showers on the way for these parts, looking like a cheshire streamer setup?

[I Cumbria Marra I]

aprox 2inches I i remember correctly,a lot of drifting with that one ...

Yes thats when the cars were buried down bootle and millom area

[Mokidugway]

Yes thats when the cars were buried down bootle and millom area

and my mother in law was rescued by helicopter of the fells ,silly woman ....

[SparkleS]

After last nights wet snow that didnt even stick, we got clear night, but didnt even freeze,was too warm! No frost,now we back to drizzle again, i only got my head down at 6am, so the weather was boring.

[Darren Bown]

Had a couple of very light rain showers here, warm Irish Sea causing quite a few showers popping up for the South of the region, but at the same time, having a warming effect. Heavier showers, fingers crossed, will be wintry, but all is wet and a slow thaw going on, so nothing of any significance will settle here. Will be interesting when the sun goes down and all this freezes though!
