N/W really need to fix the radar, its shown the precip pink over my house over the last hour, and its hail and rain, very suprised FG hasn't seen snow yet..

He will soon enough..

5.4C here with dew point at 3.7C temp has actually risen 0.6C in the last hour......I've feeling I may miss out here, expecting rain/sleet the next couple of days (as per most of the apps) .......anything else is a bonus!

I agree

[Chris.R]

 Really annoyed now. I could have counted that as a thunder day if I had been listening. Can’t confirm I would’ve heard it though so not counting it. 

[northwestsnow]

On a brighter note the every reliable bbc app has massively upgraded tomorrow for my locale-

snow all day LOL.

[Had Worse]

Must have been 20+ flashes over the Pennines and managed some thunder. very active

[weatherobsuk]

The majority of the strikes hitting the Holme Moss tower

[northwestsnow]

Just had a look out,

Its very wet but the car windscreens have gone white from the hail..

That would be why there was so much electrical activity.

 

[i luv snow]

Diane on BBC North West hates cold... drives me crazy!
