I know it's crazy this is the precipitation for the last 12 hours says all really

Yup, that just about sums it up . What's made even worse, is that these showers then intensify when they pass over.

We've probably had more than a LOT of the south regions.   Goes to show, you dont need huge fancy weather patterns to deliver the goods!

I always prefer convective snow showers like this,  as it usually dumps a moderate amount each time.  You also have the added risk of thunder and lightning which comes as a bonus.

It does this but by the time the main showers now are pushing inland more will be showing on the radar again.

I think the misunderstanding was even mentioning 2010 in the first place. It's just basically like any year we get snow showers from the north sea.

Only the radar will tell us while we still have air flow off the N.Sea.   I thought it was dead at 5PM then showers just materialised from nowhere.   It could happen again......

Moderate / Heavy snow 7/10
