The Cumbria snow forcefield doing more excellent work today, pushing the snow to the south as usual. 

Yes missed out yet again! Third time luck perhaps, everything seems to be swirling around us. When rain is forecast we always hit the bullseye!

Beautiful.. heavy snow in Sale

Hi mate I recently moved to Halewood not far from the airport. Wanted to be a bit further inland got fed up of Crosby. So far it’s working out well. Loving the new house.

Ahh much better for snow! I recall in my uni days even childwall on the way to Halewood was often better for snow than Wirral and Merseyside west coast.

Looks like you might get some snow there very soon.

[Chris.R]

Snow getting a bit heavier. 0.3°C.

[Hanny]

..it’s quite steady now, picture below was earlier so it’s settling and looking at the radar and various forecasts, I thing that my area is going to see a reasonable accumulation...

 

[damianslaw]

Temps are climbing behind front its 1.6 degree here, any snow will turn to rain and thaw quick. 

[jam2010]

Mostly been snizzle, we have had some heavier bursts but the snow cover has melted in between, still cover on grass and roofs. Looked like we would of got a cm or 2 but doesn't look like that now. 

[cheshire snow]

Snow just starting here 2nd consecutive day of snow falling dont recall that happening for a long time.

Same as the other night, energy heading southwards so you left with just bits and pieces. 

The next potential event is probably even more marginal because of time of day and more wind which mixed the cold out. Those easterlies that are forecast are perhaps going to show why I been banging on about poor upper air temperatures.

[severe snowstorm]

After about 30 mins of dandruff, we now have moderate to heavy snow!

[PennineMark]

Hope you all keep your snow as long as possible as its 100% rain here now. Temp 0.3c so as mentioned can only think warmer air is above. 

[raul_sbd]

Looking good my webcam here in Sale

On Sunday we were too close to centre of low, on Monday the front backed off as it hit Cumbrian coast very odd, today too far west...

Another feature expected Thursday, will we be too far west again?

Our best snow events come from Atlantic fronts meeting cold air, onshore SE light drift and its bingo, alas they usually result in a rapid thaw unless they stall or are forced back south.

[Had Worse]

Postcard scenes again 

[Joe Snow]

Light snow but intensity will need to pick up which it looks like it will from the east in the next hour for us to see a dusting- a covering. 

[Deep Snow please]

Wow. What a site to wake up to. 

 

Woke up at 5am and there was no new snow so went back to bed, just got up 3 hours later and must be a bit of a good few inches. 

[damianslaw]

Milder air aloft behind the front, front now going here. Quite a bit of N Sea air mixing. Much of NE England saw just rain, quite unusual for a feature from the NE to usher in milder air.

[Joe Snow]

Moderate snow S Cheshire, 70m asl  - everything turning white again still a few hours of it left to come too!

Ha, the dusting I got is already melting due to the sleet.

I will give it 5/10 mins to see if there is some heavier stuff and snow otherwise this snow watch is done.

Yeah, the radar looks good but in reality it's not great. Snowing moderately but the ground is now wet so no snow cover here on the pavemets or roads.

Everything covered again @Dexter
