Warnings are updated and Lancashire looks good, but the yellow warning totally wraps around Manchester and Cheshire/Merseyside, avoiding them completely. -
Just rained here.
-
Well if what has happened with other systems like the one with Friday is that they’ve all shifted south towards the event itself. With the warnings north of us it’d be good if the same happened with this one. Sod’s law it won’t though ?
-
It’s definitey marginal on Friday. The heavy snow symbol for me is now sleet and rain. No hope are rising here.
-
Metoffice have snow and sleet forecast on Friday at the moment. Will be interesting to see that turn back to rain. ?
-
Anyone know what’s its like around Frodsham? I’m working there tomorrow and although roads are fine here, not sure if it’s worse there? temp now 0.6c so the 1cm we have on the grass and cars is freezing quickly. Already been out to scrape the car so it doesn’t freeze solid.
-
Metoffice Haven it snowing to 6pm - but what do they know? ?
-
It’s still not as intense as it was an hour ago. Only time will tell now.
-
All my fingers and toes are crossed!
-
intensity on the radar seems to be waning.
-
Although the snow isn’t much heavier, it’s settling a bit better again.
-
Probably one of the few times you have more snow than me!
-
It’s realy struggling to settle here.
-
It’s coming down decently now. Not settling too well as it’s the middle of the day.
-
This is weird, but it must be a wind direction thing, introducing moisture into the cold air. The intensity of it has increased so much in just over an hour.
-
Moderate snow here!
-
Metoffice app just isn’t working on my phone ?
-
The front seems to be filling in a bit again. Metoffice app on my phone is down, but it’s gone so dark here. Looked like the sun was going to come out earlier.
-
This - at least take some responsibility that the forecast was fundamentally wrong within the usual acceptance of forecasting disruption (up to 3 days). So many places will suffer in terms of business. I know our plans cancelled will be a loss of about £100 to the economy - imagine the true cost?!
-
Makes it worse that the NE had a lot of snow last week, and was never really in for the snow today. A lot of NW England, and probably Yorkshire, feel really put out today. I even cancelled all my plans for today, to enjoy a nice meal on Manchester, because of the warnings!
-
Northern edge of the radar has been sinking south again over the last 20 minutes.
-
The map has moved the amber extent south about 10 miles more than it was yesterday.
-
The whole band has lost intensity quite considerably in the midlands and Wales. Game over for NW England I think.
-
They haven’t, they’ve reduced the warning area south to exclude more of cheshire.
-
looking at the radar, it seems the pivot point is off th coast of Wales, north of Llandudno. When that pivot moves east, it’ll start pulling away from the region won’t it?
