North West England Regional Discussion Thread 15/1/2018 onwards

[severe snowstorm]

Skies are darkening to my North and West. Not sure if the hole on the radar is rain shadow effect or more to do with precipitation slipping South Eastwards.

[pip22]

Raining for a hour here and I'm pretty confident now the snow won't gonna happen here.

[frosty ground]

Light to moderate snow here now

[Frost HoIIow]

Raining here no signs of wintriness

 

[itsnowjoke]

all this rain not even hail to make things allwight

[severe snowstorm]

Moderate rain starting to turn to snow.

[Weather-history]

Hard to tell but maybe a hint of sleet now.

[Deep Snow please]

Sticking to trees, car roofs and house roofs now and to the grass, there's a slushy accumulation on tarmac however even that is getting more and more white in colour - if still a dull black/grey in most places. Appears to be getting heavier as wel - even if the flakes themselves are quite smalll. It couldn't defy the odds and actually cover that slush could it?

[SP1986]

Even above 300m asl in North Wales is getting rain... Absolutely no chance for lower level west of the M6

[severe snowstorm]

Clearly no rain shadow effect at the moment as precipitation is making it across with ease now. Unfortunately, it is sleet here atm though

No chance on low ground east of the M6 Either Rain at Manchester Airport

C.S

[Snow way!]

Very wet sleet in mossley at 200m asl

 

[shadowfax]

consistent light snow.

[Deep Snow please]

Don't think i've ever seen this much snow just disappear into the ground for many years, this is worse than hours of sleet. Grounds absolutely saturated with slush and the snows far too wet. If the ground was try this must have been 1-2 inches of snow. Finally starting to stick to some surfaces but can't see it being the snowfield we all want out of these.

[severe snowstorm]

Precipitation not that intense now but turning more to snow.

I just wished that low last Tuesday were 100 miles further south.

[frosty ground]

Snowing for over an hour and its not really settling.... except in existing cover

[Backtrack]

It’s sleeting here, if we get the heavier bulk of PPN it’ll probably snow, shame it’s so light!

theres always something working against us here!

[Frost HoIIow]

Just arrived in Oldham town centre (200m asl) and even here it's only sleet. 

[The Northern Ramper]

Time to take the car up into the hills I think, 5 min drive

[WillinGlossop]
