The Lake District is often not that snowy - I used to spend a week a month there for over 20 years until recently rarely snowed in Keswick , as I recall Ambleside / south of Dunmail Raise used to do better !! 

Compared to the Pennines the lakes fair poorly with snow

For anyone interested I have updated my signature with the proper link for my weather station data  on WUnderground. 

 I have given up with the mod thread as well, turned off all notifications for it. No point anyway, enough going on in the here and now.

You have to be disheartened when you see uppers below - 5, thicknesses below 528 dam and it's still rain that is shown

The UK sucks big time for weather. 

[Mokidugway]

Showers have finally turned hard ,lol

[chiffer]

Those precipitation charts have always been a load of crap, even when they've looked amazing 6 hours before an event so many none events have occurred.

Yes euro4 is a complete write off for 90% of us

You should see snow at your altitude but your right that 90% of the population don't live on high ground so may see a slushy sleety mess instead.

Still chance of surprises I suppose although upgrades are as rare as rocking horse muck in our region.

At the moment though it's sleeting as best here and all of my earlier Hail has melted.

[toggerob]

I'm not too worried about the rain for now as things aren't set to be cooling down further until 10pm onwards into the night. Hail is a good sign that the showers are convective and cold at the cloud tops and the bit of wintryness already brought down this afternoon has been due to convective cooling with the colder air being moved further southwards from Scotland once the trough gets a move on.

The price we have to pay for warming SSTs.

I guess we need uppers of -10 or colder unless there is a slack flow.

I admire your hope, but.......you are going off old information, the latest forecasts say no.

Shows the Irish Sea having a big effect even miles inland from the coast for a lot of low lying NW England. A slacker breeze would have been of more benefit. 

[The Northern Ramper]

Jesus wept

its not due until later this evening.

Euro4 my weeble, if that's right I'll do a naked streak in the mod l thread!

[chiffer]

I'm still not seeing much issue, If it were to snow tonight it would be overnight certainly not now.
