Not really, I think that was an upgrade all round, more confident now, still worried for those West of Manchester though, a dusting's the best you will get on low ground there.

Still light rain, showery nature here at 100m asl

Interesting seeing the temp & dew fall a bit quicker now, shouldn't be too long before things become more wintry but I'm off to sleep soon so hopefully a nice surprise when I get up first thing!

[Miamay]

Raining again. 

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Still heavy sleet, i suspect anywhere above 200M will be getting plastered.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Really heavy stuff now, what a waste

It's going to turn to snow where you are I'm sure of it.

If its snowing heavy by leeds city center only around 60m asl it will snow soon

Heavy rain here, seen pictures on twitter of settled snow a few miles up the road at 300m

[Miamay]

Still raining in Liverpool. Im giving up.  Night all.

Too much high ground blocking shielding etc can't see grtr Manchester getting a lot away from the morning due to easterly.

 

Never seems to block bloody rain though!! But looking at the raintioday loop yet again a myserious hole has been opening up around greater manchester, it happens time and time again.

And yet it isn't dry.

1.5c and sleet, come on now surely we'll get some tonight.

Hmmm this part of the world really does suck for snow, still raining I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad

Dew points probably still too high but expected to fall further.

Too wet for snow to stick is a fallacy.

Oldham for a place so well placed we seriously get a crap deal when it comes to snow, snowmad is 297m up and its STILL sleet, absolute joke that

[The Northern Ramper]

Its amazingly unlucky if snowing in Blackburn at lower elevation.

[The Northern Ramper]

Met office has upgraded my location to heavy snow at 4am.

[Frost HoIIow]

Back for 10 mins as I couldn't sleep, still sleet at 297m that is crazy when parts of Yorkshire at 60m are having snow, think we should nick the sign that says Yorkshire and put it on our side of the border it'll probably snow then lol
