That was a nice chunky shower, we're up to an inch now. I’m satisfied as everything is nice and white at least.
Yeh, nice to see some white. The radar looks fairly promising too actually.

Light to moderate here and giving a little covering.
Just woke to a couple of cm of super fluffy stuff. -2c.
I'm not totally sure but I get the feeling the wind switching more easterly is helping. Maybe the shorter land track to here?

Yessss! The reverse psychology worked.
This shower stayed more in tact. Now coming down properly (albeit still light) but enough to give a light covering.
haha, well I gotta say although the radar seemed to have it over me we had barely anything!

I don’t know if anyone is watching the radar but check this shower out now due east of Manchester. It intensifies suddenly west of Holmfirth (and gets me frustratingly optimistic), and then as soon as it passes over the Peaks - it will rapidly decay. (Reverse psychology) . It will though.
Just passing through here now I think. So far another light ish affair!

Odd. Moderate sometimes heavy snow for the last 20 mins and air temp at -0.9c. Really struggling though to settle on any surfaces other than grass and the snow magnets that are the wheelie bin lids. Even the cars don't want to know. Going take something heavy to get anything substantial on the ground.
Guessing it's the low dew points coupled with a strong wind. The snow is just sublimating back into the air!

A few decent snow showers but not amounting to much yet. Even though it’s -0.7°C it’s melting on the paths and roads as it’s not quite heavy enough.
Yup, need some more sustained heaviness! Looks decent on the radar to the east, but have to wait and see what happens this afternoon.

wish i could its a hell hole on many levels, inc the weather.
I cant tho, for various reasons.
Whether its NW, WNW , W, the showers miss this area virtually every single time.
EDIT and these showers are defo coming on a NW wind contrary to every thing i have seen, so that explains why nothing getting near MBY.
Looks like a NW steering wind until later and into Monday morning. The may turn more Newly this afternoon with the showers developing in the channel N of the isle of man getting more of a chance to hit us!
If the showers are around overnight it's more interesting, slack westerlies, slower moving showers and more potential for big accumulations. We shall see!

Dont think there is going to be any warnings issued for our region.
Too late in the day now for me..
Perhaps they are going off euro4 which again shows little or no lying snow again for us.
Its just an uttetly crap place to live for snow..it really is.
They will look at a range of output. They have their own high resolution model of course that will show accumulations. I expect a warning will be issued this morning, but it's mainly a high ground affair in my opinion, with small accumulations likely later tuesday/overnight to lower levels.

I don't really like bashing the MetO but they are going down in my estimations.

Its already passed the point were either its gross incompetence or all the data we have is a complete waste of space.
There is no way they will issue warnings tomorrow,it would just be pointless when commuters have made their journeys prior to the evening journey home.esp thosewho traverse higher routes.
As Cfallon says, they usually get a heads up a couple of days in advance- obv they don't think its going to be that snowy in our region.
Like i say, that means all the data we get to look at is a complete waste of time.
The risk of any disruptive snow in NW England is likely still > 24 hrs away. I'd expect a warning to be issued this morning for accumulations mainly on the hills > 150/200 m from early tomorrow but at times to lower levels. There doesn't look like any significant snow for lowland NW England to me at the moment.
We're also likely to get an early warning for the storm mid week.

just over 3cm in Diggle, Saddleworth at 200m. Looking at the radar we might make 5cm.

Feel for you living on the wirral. Must be one of the worst places in the uk for snow, other than maybe my hometown of Chester! I moved up to 200m in Saddleworth to up my odds of snow haha!
