Is it my imagination or is it moving north? thought it was meant to move ESE

Looking at the windcharts   we are still in southerlies   looks to change around 8-9 oclock  

[MattStoke]

It’s going to have to come down really heavy to settle on such warm ground.

Edit: Even more so now my road is submerged in rain water.

Looks like there could be a pretty intense squall line developing...

[Dancerwithwings]

Looking at the radar it’s starting to change for the better

UKMO fantastic for Sat! but cannot see snow lying on flood water

[MattStoke]

It’s currently 8’C, mild and absolutely pouring with rain in Soaked-on-Trent.

In the next few hours it should fall close 0’C with heavy snow in Snow-on-Trent.

It feels surreal!

Squall line is approaching me. About to get wild and then hopefully white.

Aye, assume cold air behind the squall, going to be a heck of a squall! expect stormforce winds

[Summer of 95]

Incredibly after 2 days of rain, including being torrential an hour ago and feeling very mild this afternoon, its actually turned to very wet snow. But its definitely snow. 

[cold stoke]

Snowing in stoke now

[Selliso]

Snowing in Loggerheads - covering readily on all surfaces

Pouring with rain in Longton but I’m about 50m lower down that you.

[el tiempo]

turning to snow here in hartshill, about 150m

[Patrick Stokes]

50p flakes here in shrewsbury 

[sheikhy]

Hmmm these are good signs for us slightly further east later!!!?

[Patrick Stokes]

Yes sticking to the road and roof now

 

[high ground birmingham]

The North West thread reporting very heavy snow even in areas low in altitude 

[Summer of 95]

Sticking here too. Very slushy on the wet roads but fluffy white on the cars, grass, bins and the occasional drier bit of tarmac

[sheikhy]

The cold air is undercutting the squall line!!its amazing to watch on the precipitation type radar live!!!!is this the snow event that gfs was forecasting more widely across england a few days ago?!!

[el tiempo]

Sticking on some surfaces here too now 

[MattStoke]

Mad. I’m seeing loads of reports of heavy snow across other parts of Stoke and I’m still seeing mild conditions and torrential rain. Could change over any minute.
