Snow Showers-but look at the wind direction 330 (NNW)
hahaha... I knew you'd be disappointed by the time you got home BT...we've had sweet F A here (except the odd hail shower)..I was amazed to see that you had heavy snow going through Kirkby!
What I think they are worried about is this.
If today can be warmer than forecast cos of a more westerly aspect to wind-why can't the same happen next week.
Only 2 days ago I was looking at charts for next week with uppers of -7 to -10 for our region, they have suddenly dissappered! Everyone in the model thread was wetting their pants with excitment re deep cold and prolonged cold spell-now they're not!
Model thread seems to be in meltdown about deep cold spell next week-something to do with MJO entering phase 7 (something it hasn't done since November 2010). Apparently there is correlation between MJO entering phase 7 and deep NW Europe cold.
Anyway they (the mod thread writers) are predicting strong possibility of snow and ice- a coldfest for coldies.
Well it feels cold here, when I checked the temp it was showing +2 (I'm about 2 miles from Liverpool Airport).
The precipitation area on the radar seems to be moving quicker than I thought-I think any ppn we get from the front edge will be rain.
