Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
At most we might have had a sleet shower down here Wendy but if we did I missed it. That could explain why some cars have ice on them and others not. I hope you can avoid that today. A good chance I think, we seem to be in a dry spell despite the low pressure.
I noted this morning that Ronaldsway on the IOM agrees with our low reading. I just tapped the barometer to check and it jumped up 3mb, a good sign. Mind you, that wind is bitter!

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
The snowfall is patchy, nothing in Wetherby, there's a bit at Kex Gill but the roads are clear. Dropped into Barlick Aldi for some milk and there's no snow on the ground, plenty on the surrounding hills.
There's a few inches left on the drive at chez Kev, we're at 740ft here. I believe Wendy is a wee but higher up than that so not surprised you had a fair old covering, glad you got out OK.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Barlick was lucky yesterday, yellow warning for snow but we never saw any. At 20:00 we had the benefit of a full moon, an almost clear sky and a frost. First thing this morning it was calm, cold overcast and misty, still the same. The glass is up on 977mb and still rising. The forecast is for a dry day apart from snow this morning as it gets light. The wind will be light to moderate, mainly NW and the high will be 3C and the low -3c with a chill of -3C most of the day.
The outlook is for similar dry cold weather into the new year.
04:50. Back from my walk. The early mist has gone now, it is calm, dry, a sharp frost and an almost full moon (full on 30th) visible through broken high cloud. It's quiet and cold, just right for the hiatus between Xmas and New Year.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Snow falling here in Foulridge, I would imagine Wendy is seeing a fair bit up there in the mountains.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
We've had a light shower down here in tropical Barlick.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
600 ft is about the normal snow level. Another 1 inch dropped last night and some light stuff coming down as I write. Roads have been gritted and has turned them into a horrible brown slush. Ideal for turning your car into rust. Answer is. Stop in.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
We have another inch of very light stuff up here at 1000ft, the road has been gritted and it's brightening up. I was just thinking how rare it is that we get snow without strong winds creating drifts. That's a blessing!
Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
66ft above sea level and we have a light dusting, something and nothing, but it is snow, very rare occurrence.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Just checked our height above sea level and the GPS on my phone is saying 300m which is 984ft 3.04inches. That's sat at my kitchen table.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
You've got 240ft on me (I know my place ). There's around 4 inches accumulated on the roof of the Yeti. Vicarage Motors are coming to recover it later today, the repairs are covered under a warranty (theirs) so all is good.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Just been to Barlick, no snow there. The main roads are clear through Foulridge, Skipton Old Road behind my house is a bit slippery.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
We have a bit on the Croft here in Barlick. Slushy and slippery on the back street when I put the bin out.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Given the drive a wipe over again. The only thawing is the tarmac that has been exposed. Any snow that has been underfoot and crushed has turned to ice.

It's starting to thaw a bit with the sun on it.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Yesterday we escaped heavy snow but it was freezing all day. At 20:00 it was cold calm and dry, same now, hard frost and a full moon with a slight mist and a misty sky. The glass rose steadily all day yesterday and this morning is on 994mb. The forecast gives a warning of snow mid-morning otherwise dry all day. The wind is a constant very light westerly tending to the north giving a high of 1 and a low of -4C with a -3C chill when the wind is over 10mph. The outlook for the next five days is similar weather, could be a snow shower tomorrow evening but otherwise very cold and dry.
05:15. Back from my early walk. We have a full moon clearly visible despite thin high cloud. It's calm, quiet and very cold with a hard frost. Slippy underfoot, be careful if you are outside.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Clear skies and sunshine, a good day down here in Barlick. I hope it's the same at Burnt Hill and reducing the snow. Still freezing hard though.....

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Still plenty snow and ice Stanley. It's very beautiful!
Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Just tried clearing the snow off the Yeti (recovery truck is due to take it to the garage) and it's frozen solid. Took me a while to get the door open.
15:50 update. They can't get the recovery truck to the back of my house. Trying again on Monday once the snow and ice has, hopefully, thawed.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
The frost never let up yesterday and at 20:00 it was clear cold and you could have read a newspaper by the light of the moon. Same first thing this morning, harder frost than yesterday. The glass has risen slightly and is steady on 997mb. The forecast is for a similar day to yesterday but a warning of snow between 06:00 and 11:00 this morning. The wind is a very light NW and gives a high of 1C and a low of -2C with a -2C wind chill. At the moment I think it's about -5C. The outlook is for similar cold weather for the foreseeable future.
05:15. I've had my early walk, calm and very cold, I reckon about -5C. The moon and some stars are still visible through high thin cloud but I suspect that more cloud is coming in. Very quiet but still some workers heading for the abattoir at Gisburn and opening the Co-op up.
