[Penrith Snow]

Its been snowing for the past hour with a patchy covering on the ground, however, looking at the radar it seems to be clearing from the west so that's probably it for the day.

already a complete and utter bust for here all the precip heading safely to my SW.

ECM looks good towards day 10 thismorning and we have sunday to look forward to so the good ship roll on summer has not sailed yet..

It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring!

Hi mate, Yes crap again this morning, glad I added in the downgrade bit to my earlier post after seeing lastnight's gfs. Not seen any charts this morn so i'm still hoping Sunday will deliver, as of lastnight it had upgraded. And certainly no towel throwing from me with regards to Feb & a good chunk of March. Will post properly later.

Yes, TBH im just programmed for last minute downgrades now, its same old same old. Quite what Diane oxbury was on about i have no idea.

Dont think sunday will downgrade now, E/UKMETand GFS all have -8 uppers and plenty of precip..

[trickydicky]

Covering here and still snowing. Looks wet though and won’t last 5 minutes when the sun comes out.

Looks like it might, snow clouds building and wind picking up.

[Wardlegacy]

No snow here so much for the lovely forecast of a covering 

[SP1986]

It's raining here but it's snowing at circa 300m

[gearbox100]

It's raining here in sunny st Helens. I don't see much hope now. Lost count to the amount of warnings and only seen all winter an hour of light snowfall.

[northwestsnow]

[karyo]

Will have to wait for Sunday now and hope for the best.

Agreed K.

Another disaster LOL.

[griff74]

I'm not going to pin any hopes on Sunday either, Carols wording on the last BBC weather report weren't exactly inspiring for much snow then! 

[SP1986]

The frequency of alerts/warnings needs to be addressed as there are to many that turn out incorrect and just too many for things that shouldn't need a warning.. like a dusting of snow.

[WillinGlossop]

Rain/sleety drizzle/ hill fog....lovely....not....2c....

It's snowing in Cardiff lol.

You have to laugh at the greater manchester sized gap in the ppn on the radar. Then again the Met office app downgradrd last night so was expected.

A few flakrs of snow blowing in the wind still

If sunday turns into ANOTHER damp squib then its ECM or bust..

I honestly dont know how i got all them snowy setups in my younger days, this part of the UK is utterly garbage- even North westerlies are bobbins for me and thee.

If Carol Kirkwood is right about sunday i think im close to giving up on this winter.

I couldn't agree more! The public will stop taking notice when there is a warning every other day for nothing.
