I've just come back from Ashton and looking WNW I can see the anvils reflecting the orange glow of the street lights.

Graupel has fallen here, can see it accumulated on my front windscreen wipers.

[Chris.R]

Currently 5.3/-1.1. Dewpoints are now conducive so just need those lower 850s. After midnight with some heavy precipitation I think it is game on.

they will be rain away from very high ground..

How high do you think, your house, my house, top of Bleaklow.

personally I think anyone above 150 metres should see a bit of settling snow, providing we actually get the damn showers.

the tops of the South Pennines and Peak District could see a decent covering which with several cold days set to follow should give some fantastic walking conditions.

if your 300m your laughing- showers will be turning to snow in the next hour or so 

[More Runs Needed]

Looks clear to me, where is everyone getting the showers?

[Snowy L]

Hoping the showers over SW Scotland/Cumbria are a more organised trough.

[Thunder Snow]

Chilly and dry no precip for awhile now

Problem is that the showers are aligned perfectly but about 30 miles to our north and just to rub it in even more are having no problem at all crossing the Pennines and turning West Yorkshire white.

However you can put your last tenner on any that point themselves in our direction will fade before they reach us.

Clear skies now but it's good to know the sleet that fell earlier is still resting on the cars, so temps on the way down.  Irish sea looks to be kicking into life as well.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

This troughs crap, ppn too light and patchy

[Spah1]

Have a peak at the MO radar. 

Looks ok for us. 

Colder air behind the trough

[Weather-history]

Squally graupel shower has left grass looking whitish.

[SNOW-HEATWAVE-YES]

4.0c in Sale.

TOO WARM!

Yes I've been lucky at this altitude under that line of showers.

Cars and roofs white but awaiting that lot to the north.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Been dry for a while now

[Mokidugway]

Drizzle here ,seriously 

[Geordiesnow]

I'm sure I just heard a clap of thunder just ther,  apart from that nothing too exciting to report sadly.

[northwestsnow]

well if the 12z gfs  is right we should be really starting to see activity very soon!!

[Chris harry]

Pretty cold ere in Ashton.
