North West Regional Discussion March 2022 onwards

[severe snowstorm]

Frequent heavy rain showers yesterday which merged at times and a chilly feel out. Showers forecast again today, but perhaps fewer and farther between compared to yesterday with longer dry periods.  

[Weather-history]

-2.1C

 

[A Face like Thunder]

A sunny but frosty start to the day, and hoping the sun stays out for the rest of the day.

[jimben]

Overnight frost and cloudless skies to start the day. Beautiful. More cloud now but still very sunny and temp 5.3c

[jimben]

Fast jets growling around the lake district but none seen yet

[damianslaw]

Deceptive out there. Abundant sunshine after an air frost. Cloud has bubbled up and despite light winds it feels cold. Temp 7.8 degrees. Conditions remind me of last April.

Now totally white with hail!!

Yep a potent hail shower here as left a white covering...build up of towering clouds this afternoon was pretty impressive following a clear sky start with early frost. 

[Frost HoIIow]

Hear hear. Couple of hail/graupel coverings today. Nice to see....probably last chilly day tomorrow before turning gradually milder.

[Had Worse]

Pea size hail

Walked to work in bright sunshine, walked home during a substantial hail/graupel shower, bounced off me but soaked my shopping through.  Not surprised to see there has been some lightning activity today, I didn't see any, I did notice a couple of times how dark it had turned outside.

What a weird day it's been, blistering sunshine & blue skies around Bakewell at midday (not fun whilst wearing a jumper & down jacket assuming it was going to be cold outside all day) followed by showers in Matlock and now snow as soon as i'm back home. I'm fairly certain today was supposed to be dry & bright with the ridge of HP building in.

[Rush2019]

Daughter reporting snow in Cheadle Hulme at 5.05, Had a flash of lightning and an almighty crash of thunder setting off car alarms.  Salt spreaders currently out and about in Macc.

Chris F showed a picture of a hailstorm in Lees, Oldham on the BBC national weather forecast at 6.30pm. No such problems here and it's been dry and bright all day, but with a cold feel to it.

8-9c this morning with blue skies and strong sunshine Manchester was lovely at lunchtime… clouded over an graupel/hail quite heavy in St. Peter’s square… rainbows and hail on train back to Glossopia… walked home between showers but quite heavy an hour ago… hail/snow… hills now white above 450/500m temp 0.5c 

[weatherobsuk]

Snow has settled on the hills around the Goyt & Flash Village this evening, could be tricky later on if the temps fall off below zero.

It actually ended up dry and mostly sunny here in daylight hours, so a decent day. Just had our first shower of the day.

[WillinGlossop]

-1c clear skies…. Icy out 

[Joe Snow]

Becoming gradually milder early next week, warming up maybe by the Easter weekend?  
 

Anything above 15c that verifies will feel positively spring like after the chilly weather the last week or so though

 

[Wold Topper]

Just popped over the 'Hill' to see if you guys are all good on your thread, dam chilly on the Yorkshire Wolds! Enjoy your evening you good folks!

[Rush2019]

0.5° and waiting for the car to defrost.  Feeling much colder than said temp. Sky bright enough though.

[Weather-history]

 

 

Got down to -3.0C

[Weather-history]

 

ECM so far has been consistent with this for mid afternoon Monday. Potential thunder?

[damianslaw]

Another frosty morning. Not as cold as this time yesterday. Current temp 3.7 degrees, frost has lifted, yesterday was 2.5 degrees still at 8.45am. A fine Spring Saturday ahead will feel a bit milder than recent days and light winds, pleasant conditions. Excellent for outdoor activities. Entering best period of year for outdoor activities in ly view roughly until mid June when heat and humidity typically makes them less palatable. Also this is typically driest time of year in Lake District. Great for Easter holidays.
