North West Regional Discussion Feb 2021 onwards

[The Northern Ramper]

Been out for a nosey at how the fire service are getting on up Marsden moor.
They are still tackling the fire and it has burnt a fair area, what a waste of man hours caused by some moron or morons.

[The Northern Ramper]

A fee more fire engines flying up Huddersfield rd Newhey.

There's a few showers developing now around the Marsden area according to the radar so hopefully the firefighters will get a helping hand from nature, but they are hit and miss.

Slowly but surely the showers are moving south and dark skies beckon to the north and east.  Might get a shower here in the next hour or two.  Although right now it's blazing sunshine.

Not seen the sun at all today although no rain either...... so far!

[James M]

Luckily the heaviest bursts seemed to coincide with the burn area. What a shame it couldn’t come sooner

[iand61]

Very little rain over much of the day but it’s certainly pepped up over the last hour or so.

not enough to make much difference to the parched conditions but as others have said, hopefully it will help with the fires still burning.

Quite an appreciable depository of rain here in the last hour or so...heavy over the saddleworth hills no doubt.  I expect the garden will burst forth with greenery tomorrow responding to a long awaited watering.

You mean the weeds will shoot up in abundance lol.

Yes the land had a good drink this evening. Must have been like that refreshing feeling we feel on a hot day and you drink a can of ice cold beer after feeling a bit dehydrated.

[WillinGlossop]

More rain than was expected here today... good thing as have emptied the water butts watering pot plants... hopefully helped the hills get a drenching and firefighters at Marsden

Booked my jab at Glossop Cricket Ground Thursday Never been so happy to have a vaccination

Pouring down at 11pm last night, but cleared away by 7am and now fairly bright with light cloud around. 

[Snow free zone]

As is often the case with a N/NE wind direction, very little in the way of rain here up to now.  Dry dull and cloudy in the main. 

[Frost HoIIow]

A chilly feel to things today. Certainly doesn't feel like almost May. Not much an improvement going forward either. The GFS right at the end of it's the run showing high pressure riding over us from the Azores and in mid may that usually means very warm weather but this is in la la land. Will likely change from run to run. As far now the below average April looks like continuing into May.

@WillinGlossop, I don't expect to see you post until the final whistle.  What a game.

Wow! Sunny here but a really cold feel to it this morning, despite the absence of any frost or ice.

[Had Worse]
