North west regional discussion

[severe snowstorm]

Hail has turned into heavy snow. Trying hard to settle 

[dodge]

Hail shower here.  It starts off as snowy flakes and raises one's expectation but the main meal is heavy wet hail which quickly melts once the shower has passed through.

[Darren Bown]

The showers moving in Scotland and more especially, N Ireland, are really strong. These are expected to move across this evening aren’t they?

[Deep Snow please]

Torrential wintry mix, turning more and more snowy.

Not sure.

Gfs has downgraded this evening but then again its beyond useless as it had the entire region down for heavy snow all day today.

Of course as soon as it turns to snow it dies.

Of course as soon as it turns to snow it dies. Nice base layer for anything coming behind it though...

Hefty looking showers over the iom will give someone a pasting shortly.  

 

Southport/Liverpool area I reckon.

Big chunk of precipitation stretching from Preston to Bradford which looks to be slipping Southwards. Could provide a decent covering here if it maintains its intensity. Temps dropping all the while now so more favourable for snow to stick.

Sunny here now, we've just had the first proper snow shower, small flakes but definitely snow. It's been gradually moving from rain and hail to snow during the day. Just hope there's enough precipitation later on?

[janmac]

Another heavy-ish snow shower... Now just a few small flakes dancing around. It did try to settle!!

12z GFS still has back edge snow

[shadowfax]

absolute blizzard here now everything is white and temp is falling so might stay?

[Deep Snow please]

You've got to love modern winters, the ground being wetter from the first half of this shower's covering melting during the interlude while we were caught in the gap, meaning the second half is now really struggling to stick!

[jam2010]

Just hail stone but veey heavy.
