I will look forward to the video of glove eating

Its like this every snow event it's only the times it's not forecast we in Merseyside seem to get any. We had absolutely nothing here in my part of st Helens even tho some areas of my time claim to have had some snow.

It's absolutely freezing to be honest. Coldest it has been all winter so far in feeling. Even when we had the cold spell it didn't feel this raw.

Well what happened was the wind blew NW and gave showers which resulted in many areas in the Northwest getting some snow. Unfortunately not all because the air was not that cold, or as cold as preferred. The wind direction now has swiftly gone to a Northerly resulting in clear blue skys and cold brisk wind which is usual for a Northerly. Our next chance i would imagine would be the break down when that happens and a milder front hits cold air. I am no expert but i would imagine we need this Northerly to keep up its good work, cool us down and get us in a position to see a good transitional event which our region pulls of quite well, even Bolton. Ps. Its nobodies fault on here that you live in Bolton or that Britain got buried in snow, our snow shield in Helens is usually just as effective but this time lapsed and we had a little snow. I understand your frustrations however as winters don't seem to be the same, relative or not its relatively getting milder year on year. I can see the point in which 10c will be seen as freezing.

Welcome, fellow wiganer trapped in st.helens at the moment

same, I remember as a Child seeing the weather and it saying minus 3 with a wind chill of minus 10. Today we had 5 degrees with a wind chill of minus 1 and this is considered the big freeze. It shows the level of our Climate change (natural or otherwise not for me to debate) in such a short space of time.

I think the met office and Diane who also has had a lot of stick have done excellent forecasting for this area. They where not that wrong in a marginal situation. We all saw some snow, sleet with some like my area having a good spell here and there. Hats off to them, it must be hard to forecast now with everything being so marginal.

Been snow showers on and off here all day not ammounting to much and fast moving but snow all the same falling.

We had some snow last night which left a good cover. Very wintry at 1am here. We did well from this spell. It's melting now so bring on another spell.

Can confirm we have snow, light and sticking to everything

Sleet here at the moment

I thought Diana did a good job she used the word snow only, she said it will fall where it wants and to expect 2 to 3 cm on low level and 5cm on high routes. Tomorrow is a rain event apart from high ground. I thought she did a good job. Usually she tell you its rain even if it's snowing outside.

Diane map shows snow all the way

Thanks guys was Cooking tea. It's raining shower at the moment so not great. Had a great day tho and hope this polar low gives you all lots of snow. Gotta go sort out work stuff now Ps I am an actual wiganer just stranded in st Helens ha ha

Daft question maybe but is st Helens classed as south Merseyside?

Well polar low sounds cool its a shame it's raining here and the temps are all wrong. so we in for some extra rain.

Same raining and ice pellets here too now.

Talking polar lows in the model thread over Scotland. Even tho on that thread they speak a different language.

Heavy snow again

Wish it hurry up it's sunny in Merseyside at the moment.

Sunny here at the moment.

Spitting Rain here so that milder air must be pushing in now.

The model thread is quite positive with snow for most in there opinion tonight.

Waited 2 years for snow and the neighbour is digging it up and gritting. it's melting quick enough already. Grrrrr party at mine make as much noise as you like.

The warning makes poor reading will less cold air and rain.
