@Chris.RYou've been bob on with this transition to snow mate. They are big, heavy flakes here now. I wonder if we can get dps down enough for it to settle.

Big snow flakes appearing in the sleet now in Sale.. can't be far off

This looks like being an interesting evening. Temp now at 2.5c down from 3.7c at 7pm. An enormous amount of precipitation still to come to help with any cooling. Unfortunately that adds to the 42mm since midnight so not good and this about to hit us.

It will as long as precip remains heavy.

8:15 for you transition to full snow. After 8:45 could start to settle.

[Backtrack]

Torrential snow!!!!!!!   YES!!!

[dodge]

The area was on a knifedge with flooding alerts before this torrential spell of rain hit.  I think some areas may have crossed over the precipice.  Hope they get through the night ok.

[carl1980]

Flakes are massive

So close , yet so far, I'm currently just on the snow line and its refusing to budge.
