The way us hardy souls in the northwest always miss out on snow im beginning to take it personal

Why are the met still showing scotland in the snow tomorrow if its all going south and east?

200 m + snow lol

But theres always the chance theyve got it wrong and it stays on track like yesterday

hows it looking for blackburn

It is yes

gut feeling and alot of prayers today to the snow gods

First time ive checked since yesterday, and it now looks like we aint going to get much, however i think it will all change again to our benefit

Liam how would you rate my analysis from earlier

possibly but i honestly dont think il be far off the mark, we will all find out in a few days, but its looking brill for us all

This might sound abit OTT, but this is the way i see things, we have fronts trying to push in from the west, which will not make any significant inroads into our cold block to our east.This event coming up on friday reminds me of the feb 96 event when we all got sent home from school, I was 14 at the time and can honestly say ive never seen as much snow as that before, we easily had over 30 cms at a relatively lowish level, so i think the depths of snow being predicted thus far will be way out. I predict low lying areas will get between 25 and 40 cms quite easily and maybe more. The tops of the hills, pennine areas, I wouldnt be surprised to see anything between 50 and 70 cms Plus once the main band has come through, there is always the chance of streamers setting up almost anywhere like 2010 which could add a heck of alot more snow, its going to be absolutely fascinating for sure.

Just watching the forecast on bbc, it looks great for all of us, I just want them to lose the word "risk"

Think it will be called off for safety reasons, I can see alot of games being called off tomorrow even before it has started snowing

I work nights in padiham its about a 5 mile journey from my house usually set off 9pm, ive a feeling i aint going to be getting there, also isnt it always strange how these sort of major events crop up, like on the 50th anniversaryof the 62/63 winter

Im confused are we all going to get heavy snow here in the northwest or just parts of the region, im in blackburn, what should i expect on friday and saturday

I wouldnt worry to much about what the GFS is showing at present, it will all change GFS = Good For Snow

could we all be surprised and get a real dumping like we did in december 10

Liam im in blackburn, about 30 miles from the coast, 100m asl everytime we get forecast snow its always sleet or rain, how do you rate my chances here.

Look at the radar to the east of cheltenham.I would not like to be under that looks mega intense

lol

lol

Is it usual to get squalls this late in the year?.I remember the last one which was early september and was quite scary at the time as I was walking home and the winds just came out of nowhere, it only lasted a few minutes but felt much longer.

Its looking like alot of people are in for a nasty shock with the weather tomorrow.

Currently having a really good storm at the moment, large hail and thunder and lightning its gone pitch black here.

Look at the chart at 168 hours showing a 924mb low and widespread blizzards.
