I said I'd take a break but out of no where a blizzard! everything covered again, massive flakes.....temperature quickly dropped to 0.5C

Temp. currently 1.5c at 9.45pm having risen from -0.7c at 6.30pm.  I note that it's very wet snow that's falling in Stockton on Tees. What's happening - is this a 'less cold' sector passing through?? 

Blizzard-like conditions here this afternoon with huge flakes, snow easily settling on all surfaces but now thawed on roads/pavements.

Near to my location on the M60

lots of non-snow/sleet/rain (no way of knowing which) here tonight.   Often under nearly clear skies!   Radar as reliable round here as a chocolate boat in a lava pool ....

No it's the Chadderton/Failsworth area of Oldham

Already melting a bit now, temp slowly climbing up to 1C, showers seem to be moving a bit more to the south of here now. Could be it here for a while tonight.

It looked promising around sunset but it seems to have a gone little pear shaped since. 

I'll be surprised if I wake up to see lying snow or even hail. The stuff that fell from the early evening showers stuck around for awhile but temperatures have edged up a little bit and now that has melted.

Surely I'm not the only one who lamp-post watches stark bollock naked while they're supposed to be showering?! 

You're not a proper snow fan until you've shoved your head out of the bathroom window as far as I'm concerned. 😃 (no puns please) 

(I've just sent rob snowman a comedy selfie).

I know what you mean, I have that sinking feeling a bit!

We'll see :-) 

Flash of lightning here together with driving heavy snow now!

  Don't worry Joe you won't freeze your nuts off its +2C outside!!!!

Looks like there maybe a clearer break on the way which may help the temps fall away a bit as they did earlier this evening before the cloud rolled in.

Very heavy snow now, readily settling.

Very true.

This was always meant to be a 'Thursday morning' event anyway. 

If by 9am it's just a sleet fest then I'll admit defeat. As it happens, most model output seems to suggest tomorrow could be very snowy indeed. 

Well we seem to be entering a "warm sector" again, had 4cm of full snow cover from that very heavy snow shower and that has almost gone already, I can now hear drip drip drip. Temp 1.2C, dew point rising too.

Yes I saw it (on tv) - match didn't get called off and postponed this time!?
