[WillinGlossop]

Just heard that go over… quite loud 

[Had Worse]

 WillinGlossop its what drew my attention. 

Considering it took off from Birmingham,  can't imagine the sight of it turning to avoid the tower blocks in the city.

[severe snowstorm]

An overcast day here, but the serious rain held off until late afternoon, so could have been worse.

I'm really not expecting any snow at this location and altitude on Friday, but those with a couple of hundred metres or more may have a decent chance. The last 'event' was looking good until things downgraded at the very last minute so I'll definitely be waiting until T+0 before getting properly interested, if it's still on the cards by that point. Metoffice not really that interested in snow away from high ground.

 Day 10 I know right    Why is that ?

[Dark Horse]

Obviously some snow accumulation charts coming into view now. Been a long day been here there and everywhere so only going to post the harmonie one and it does show reduced accumulation around Manchester but it's not a giant white hole like the last failed event and I feel is more the urban heat effect. So I think there is a bit of a better chance of snow at lower levels this time around. Steady as she goes though.

[Had Worse]

Heavy rain battering the front window  i think there is hail in that too

[iand61]

Plenty of snow symbols showing for Friday on the Met app for here and a BBC forecast showing snow both tomorrow and Saturday so if it comes off we could easily be looking at the best snow opportunity this winter.

or it could all downgrade at the last moment into a wet sleety mess as did the last event.

either way we will soon know.

[severe snowstorm]

It's certainly looking good for higher ground tomorrow, but at this altitude, I think we will be stuck with the worst case scenario, heavy rain with the temp sat around 3 degrees above freezing and a stiff Easterly wind. Yuk. Time will tell.

[cheshire snow]

Manchester Airport TAF showing a wintry mix for tomorrow still think low ground will see snow falling but struggling to settle, higher ground could be looking at 10cm,expect a weather warning to be put out this morning.

[severe snowstorm]

 cheshire snow Yes, I think a warning will be issued and the met will have to come off the fence in terms of heights for both falling and settling snow. It will be interesting to see their thoughts later this morning.

[Rush2019]

Morning.  7.4°C, overcast it's not raining.  Interesting still for tomorrow, looks like we will all be radar watching and looking out the window, it's part of the fun.  Factored in extra journey time for essential travel tomorrow  just in case.  

[Day 10]

I know mate, it's the actual egg chocolate isn't it. It just seems to taste different than a bar, I always buy myself a few eggs

[severe snowstorm]

 Rush2019 it could certainly be an interesting rush hour for some based on that chart. I think I'll expect nothing, then if we see snow, it will be a bonus. 

[Day 10]

 severe snowstorm

I agree mate, this time I'm going to stick with the UKMO chart as this was the only one from the other week never to really show any snow to low ground and proved to be spot on. So to save any hopes being dashed it ISN'T on board with any lower ground snowfall once again.

[Rush2019]

 Day 10   Yes, last time I could see the snow falling on the tops out east of Macc.  Settling snow from around 210m, hills became invisible whilst I watched sleet

[Cheshire Freeze]

I think tomorrow has the possibility to catch some people out.

Looks cold enough through the whole profile of the atmosphere (though marginal) and winds are offshore.

A lot of places are going to see a period of heavy, wet snow. Probably accumulating from 100m + (slushy wet deposits) with more substantial accumulation 150m+

[A Face like Thunder]

We missed most of the rain yesterday and dry but cloudy this morning.

[Rush2019]

Yellow warning for romorrow,  not what I was hoping.

[cheshire snow]

 Rush2019 I imagine still been updated.

[Rush2019]

4 minutes ago, cheshire snow said:

Yes, you are quite right, i'm a tad excited,

[damianslaw]

Odd warning for SW mention of snow.. but nothing for NW where risk of snow is higher, indeed met office states sleet tomorrow afternoon.. Possibly may be a warning in next hour or so.. certainly chance of significant snow modest heights. 

[Had Worse]

 damianslaw Probably going to be a nowcast situation.

After it dumps a load of snow, the warning will be updated .
