North west regional discussion

[damianslaw]

Today has been bitter, wind has been consistently strong blowing snow about and making for significant wind chill. Lots of roads closed in and around Cumbria, now reports of fallen trees just to add the misery.

No quick return to mild for the foreseeable.

Snow getting heavier, starting to settle again.

At this rate we might wake up to a whole mm of snow in the morning ?

Yeah giving up now, it gets to us looks like it's setting in then backs off. It looks like mid and south Wirral are doing well, they have been under darker blues and greens for a good few hours now.

Think i might give up doesnt look great at the moment would love to know what it's like under the red blobs must be amazing. Not been bad here not as good as further east but that's to be expected its been fun though  ?

[SnowThunder]

One thing I hate about snow is there's no audible cue to its arrival so I have to waste effort going to look out the window to see if that dark blue radar return that's been over me for 3 hours now is actually a reality which it isn't

[Liscard laaaa]

Following this group as a non member for months ...... I’m bloomin addicted !! Front of my house zero snow winds blown it all away back of my house a nice sugar coating ? still coming down now ! First snow my 3 year old had ever seen 

[gearbox100]

Good night all, seems north Wales is getting some of the action and it's sliding west now. Winds back here but still no snow.

[WillinGlossop]

Winds, drifting..... night all going to bed too....

[SnowThunder]

[Frost HoIIow]

Not as good as it might first appear as it is not really settling properly as much of it was being blown away/subliminated, and some is even melting on certain surfaces like cars. Gone lighter now.

Must admit I was wondering where all the snow would come from to last all night and into tomorrow.  The radar still shows it mainly light and what was once a backedge now seems to be merging with the light snow to the south

Dam quote bugs. Anyway if anyone knows this area just been told Shaw road has now been closed. Plough just can't keep up with wind and drifting.

 

Mean while my boss hired s 4x4 just to make.sure I'm in work tonight. ??

The M62 is closed and is likely to remain closed. The other parallel routes are just as bad it not worse. “If you are trying to cross the Pennines - don’t. “And if you are currently queuing, do not try and pick another route across the Pennines. “Either go back the way you came or go to a service area, or find a hotel or a friend’s house.

“Do not try to continue your journey across the Pennines.” Highways England
