Formby Merseyside 4.4 Degrees and raining, not expecting any snow here today, possibly Thursday might produce a shower of two.

No. We still might see surprises today. Convective cooling can make all the difference. Just need some heavier bursts then Bingo.

[swainclubber]

sleet in rochdale

[Deep Snow please]

Is it me or is that precip tracking much for west to east than the north west to south east initially forecast?

[More Runs Needed]

Drizzle here, nothing wintry about it

[More Runs Needed]

Don't expect anything until later on for lower levels as Chris was saying, heavy snow will stick as ground cools later

You’re wrong, it’s snowing in Littleborough at the warmest the uppers will be.

[itsnowjoke]

Not necessarily, depends on how heavy + evaporative cooling.

 

Seen sodden surfaces freeze over and give way to layers of snow before, it can happen.
