Topic: It's Snowing!!

[Son of Spion]

My landlady lives on Saaremaa, the largest of Estonia's islands. We thought we had it bad here with 20cms overnight the other night. They've had 30cms overnight!! On top of that, they now have freezing rain.

Put that into context, snowflakes take up over 10 times the surface area of raindrops - adding raindrops that freeze on impact to objects already below freezing point, you get Instant Ice - Everywhere.

That's why trees fall down in winter here - not because the wind catches the leaves (no wind, no leaves), but because of the weight of the ice.

Change "trees" to "power lines" and you get the same effect

You think that's bad? 

We've had 1mm of snow here. It's chaos. Absolute chaos.

Nah being good today, had my jeans on.

Bloody hit me hard today, was in Mathew Street and it hit me that 60 years ago Ma was a 16 Yr old kid going the cavern and seeing the likes of the Beatles starting out. Think she started going the cavern in 61 when she was 15

You are learning.   

Wow, life flies by doesn't it just makes you realise you have to make the most of each and every day that you can. Not bad though sneaking to the Cavern to see the Beatles, lucky mum.

My dad worked at Lancaster House in the 60s and one lunch time wandered down to the Cavern with a couple of young blokes. Said there was this group on wearing leathers and one of them had a harmonica welded to his guitar.

A few months later…….

Amazing. If I could transported back in time it would be the 60's imagine the fun of cavorting down Matthew Street back then.

First snow in Boston this evening only supposed to be a dusting but it looks like it's covering.

[24/7]

Full-on blizzard today, with 15-20cms more snow forecast along with it. NE wind whipping up off the sea. Brutal. -4 feels like -247.......

*edit*

Hah! This is why I stayed at home today. Even by our standards, this is a bad one..... 

I remind you - this is the city centre - many of these are smack-bang in the middle of town. The snowflakes are horizontal. Expression on the face of pic 27 says it all really

On Anglesey

Blue sky in Liverpool! At least for now. Freezing though (I mean it feels cold, I don't think its actually below 0).

It's 3°c in Liverpool just now. Clear skies.

The snow on Snowdonia looks amazing though.

Just been for a walk to the shops, its about 3 c in Manc, so broke the big coat out, but it's sunny and clear so I got really hot walking home.

Didn't think I'd have to mention I was in shorts

Went for the knee length Adidas ones

[reddebs]

It was only a little flurry and it's mainly blue skies again although the clouds are gathering over Llandudno and the Great Orm.

Agreed that Snowdonia is looking majestic too 😁

[Son of Spion]

There's snow showers forecast along the north Wales coast, Merseyside and Cheshire Gap, so you might see some more in Anglesey. ⛄❄️

There's a pretty impressive snow shower moving down the Wirral just now.

It's cold in Liverpool but still quite clear. Cloud's rolling in though

Rooftops in mid to south wirral all white now. Snow moving across the Mersey.

Another load making it's way across north Liverpool towards the city as I type.

Edit: Snowing in Sefton Park now.

One lot of snow heading towards Speke and there's one right over Anfield right now.

[Son of Spion]

Its stopped now.

Yep. It's over the Mersey heading towards Speke at the moment.

The next one will be over the city shortly.

[Shanklygates]

There are clear blue skies still over Anfield Road  though bitter.

Correction, small raindrops now, but blue b4

Yep, saw clouds letting go over in that direction as I got off the 82 and wondered if it was over Sefton Park or just beyond. I've just got home five minutes ago, and a bit of hail/rain/flakes has started.

EDIT: heavy hail now, will probably turn to snow in a bit.

[rob1966]

Should have known...

Going for a walk at 6 to meet the missus from work, not sure if I go for footy shorts or the longer Adidas

I can see it's moved away from you now. It's over town and over Wavertree towards Speke. Sefton Park area turning white as it passes through here.

Who needs Jim and Nobby when I'm bringing up to the minute weather updates? 

The first lot that came through here was snowflakes. The second lot had a lot of hail in it.

It's usually very bitter over Walton Road isn't it......?

Snowing nicely in Sefton Park now. ⛄

[rob1966]

I literally live a mile away and not a jot of snow here. Lots of clear sky and wispy cloud. 

[sheepfest]

The snow has made its way to Gateacre corner and the Black Bull.  What a pity as guess I will stay for one more just to be safe.

Surely you've got snow lying on the ground there now?

I've been out gritting paths and seen three car accidents in a short space of time. People sliding into the vehicle in front.
