UKV and Icon I'm giving most credit to, in terms of precision and how early both models were signalling it.

Hmm bear in mind though that yesterday’s UKV showed zero accumulation this morning associated with the showers. Massively underplayed the snow.

So giddy @captaincroc!!

Such a good event here. Some more pics. Maybe one last hurrah judging by the radar?

North of Manc now in line for the heavier stuff.

2cm now here in S Cheshire - lightly snowing we are on the edge of the heavier snow to our N & NW. N Cheshire, Merseyside & Gtr MCR should do well from this batch.

South Manchester could be the sweet spot for this next bit.

The UKV underplayed this event big time. Note for next time.

Other models handled it well though.

This is turning out to be a great event for the region. Already a few centimetres

Totally agree, it’s brilliant!

ROFL just seen GMB's Granada weather

Unbelievable and embarrassing!!!

"Fairly dry and bright however one or two showers across the north of the region..."

Graphics, dry across the south when the whole are is under snow!

Recorded broadcasts are always asking for trouble IMO. All weather forecasts should be live.

January 16

Next heavy batch about to hit in about 15 mins or so. Will head out and take some pics

January 16

Radar looks full out west, could be a fun rush hour

January 16

Looks absolutely great in town now! Well chuffed.

January 16

Lovely covering developing in town

January 16

Moderate snow should hit Manchester again in about 15 mins

January 16

Liverpool about to get some heavy snow

January 16

Lovely to see lying snow in Manchester City centre

Pretty much all model output showing snow tomorrow morning now . A few 18z stragglers still to come out but Arpege, GFS, ICON, plus the MetO high res-app forecast showing snow now, even a few heavier bursts (screenshot below).

So the potential is very much there.

Radar watching from now on.

GFS 18z for 6am. Nice to have all models now showing the purples for our region in the same timezone. Here we go folks. Now is our time

Yes 18z GFS shows 3-4cm tomorrow morning. Widespread snow showers.

Thank you for confirming this! I wonder why bbc/met got it so wrong? Haha, would Dianne not normally present the weather in mornings? Also, whats the Euro4 model saying this evening and where can I find it

Haha euro4 is no more sadly.

No she stayed over to avoid being stuck at home and unable to get in. Nearly a foot of snow in south Manc that morning. She presented the breakfast bulletins given the severity of the weather.

18z ICON

3cm in Manc
