Wonderful cloudscapes about now.

If anyone is fortunate enough to get a proper heavy snow shower just before or after sunset, any snowcover should stick around around.

Seeing the convection today, its a big pity this northerly did not hit proper full on.

heavy snow/graupel falling now. XCWeather currently saying it’s 6c, must be much colder than that

Just had some heavy snow on a strong wind, stuck for a while but now gone. Temperature dropped to freezing, now at 3.3*C. Very wintery day. 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Can see over towards Bosley where the big transmitter is and that hill is white over.

Quite a shower passing through started as graupel but has turned to proper snow

Sunny day here now, nice and warm inside looking out.

[Snow free zone]

Hail and snow showers here on and off for the last hour. Hadn't expected even a shower out of this so a bit of a surprise. Must be more of a n/nw rather than the usual straight northerly. 

[Frost HoIIow]

A bit more a beefy one moved through about 30 mins ago which left a dusting on the car but nothing else. Think any proper accumulation will have to occur at night. No doubt the showers will die out by then

Spring snow showers 

Temperature plummeted to 2c

[Cheshire Freeze]

Too far west for the line of instability here. Grey, breezy and cold but no snow action.

[Rush2019]

Quite  decent graupel shower here.  Surrounding hills totally blotted out.

[SnowWatcher2]

Few light snow showers here today, hopefully a few more to come.. could well see some into next week also possibly. 

[Weather-history]

Another squally shower passing through

Nice snow shower now, the wind has picked up, squally and will be short lived.

Another snow shower passing through the Airport should be with you soon

This could be the anvil above you and to my NE, quite beautiful.

The fact that snow fell in the middle of the day and it’s 2c at 4pm in April is astonishing. Something you’d expect on the Scottish mountains, not here

[severe snowstorm]

Squally hail shower passing through here at present. Surprised as not much showing on the radar near here.

Sun-Snow-Sun-Snow and repeat all afternoon  its one of those days where every season wants to throw a little something in, even a strike of lightning being registered near Sheffield not long ago.

[Weather-history]

The last shower was intense, visibility really dropped

[WillinGlossop]

Heaviest snow shower of the day 0c
