A bit of snow while I was out with the dog but barely enough to cover the ice left from today's freeze thaw freeze.

Just looked on the CCTV, can't be bothered going curtain twitching and it's either snow or graupel coming down again.

Grauple!

Grauple!

Just look at rain today. We're not due any PNN for a while.

Evening folks, been a bit of a lurker the past few months but now that the cold snap is starting I thought i would post.. I'm personally from birmingham but im currently studying in Manchester hence the post in this regional thread! hope you dont mind! 

 

Anyway on to later tonight, hopefully we will see some of those showers hitting inland and in heavier bursts some accumulations will appear locally. The uppers will be favourable and the ground temps should be cold enough for some of the snow that falls to last throughout the day. 

 

Today I have been compiling a few thoughts on what I think will happen over the next few days, and will post later on after a walk, I for sure do not think that this cold weather will be as short lived as some are making out, I expect further upgrades with regards to ppn, mixed in with the cold uppers I expect this to fall as snow. 

 

It is proving difficult to pin down the general trend because the ens are all over the place even in a relatively short time frame!

Dont loose hope people, lets enjoy the cold that is coming! I for one would of defiantly snapped someones hand off if this was offered to us when in decemeber and early January it looked like the 'zonal train'

 

The funs of winter in the UK eh!

Grauple!

Hi "robbo88" good dog walks near you. Brabyns park marple bridge,longendale trail, hadfield.The canal at woodley leading to romiley then goes onto marple locks. Charlesworth has loads aswel go up past the Gray mare pub. Up the hill and park on left walk is on the right.Another one is The trail up to the monument at gee cross used to be a pub at the end but was closed Down. Shame That's good dry walk next to golf coarse. The reservoirs at hadfield. Or bit further Lyme park. Fantastic place. Could probably think of some more if I really tried. All within quick driving distance and good spots for dogs,snow and sledging.

Hi and welcome on board the north west roller coaster I look forward to reading your thoughts later:-)

I don't think I'd get down the drive at the moment, little balls of ice on top of more ice, just want some real snow!

[shelly 73]

Snowing here. . Big fat flakes and sticking fast. Gritters dont come to our village so it will be help yourself to the grit bin in the morning.. sorry to everyone else who wants snow.

Just missing out on what appears to be a good blob of snow passing through central Cumbria, just to the south, but its promising, another blob 10 miles further south would deliver. Temps are still around 2 degrees surprisingly..
