Preston, Cornwall and Liverpool. Worst places in the Country for Snow.

Couldn’t agree more.

Why? Its always Jam tomorrow.

Let’s hope for some beefy snow showers Tuesday/Wednesday

Seriously

We have a NW burst on Tuesday, of rain.

The date to keep an eye on was Jan 10th in December. Then 20th Jan and so on.

Bored. Been reading, hoping and anticipating since November. Can’t be bothered anymore. Amazing how those cold charts have just disappeared. Back to square 1 at 216hrs on the ECM. Looks like Feb when we might feel the full effects of the SSW.

MO update has removed East coast showers and gone for a more north/NEly. Flip flopping all over the place. Guttted Tuesday isn’t all snow!

The artic High is being modelled further and further East stopping the link up.

And there it is in all its glory. West of the M6 in The North West. Worst place in the country for snow. Hoping the ECM flips back tonight. UKMO overnight still suggesting Easterly winds.

Looks like rain to wet snow to me.

Thoughts on Tuesday guys? Rain to start. Back edge snow. Sleet/Snow showers behind the front?

Can't believe I work in Kirkham. No snow here. Dying to get home and seeing a few flakes.

Heavier stuff arriving. Will it be snow PIP for Chorley?

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days UK Outlook for Wednesday 23 Jan 2019 to Friday 1 Feb 2019: The latter half of next week looks to stay cold or very cold, with frosts likely most nights. There may be cloud, rain and hill snow perhaps on Wednesday or Thursday, but thereafter turning brighter with showers. These will feed in from eastern coasts, but are likely to bring sleet or snow for some. There is a small chance of a weather system approaching the northwest over the weekend, which could bring significant amounts of snow on meeting the cold air. However, this is still very uncertain and it is best to stay up to date with the latest forecast. It will stay cold until the end of January with spells of rain, sleet and snow at times. However, some drier and brighter interludes are still likely, with overnight frost. UK Outlook for Saturday 2 Feb 2019 to Saturday 16 Feb 2019: The cold weather will continue as we head through the first half of February. There is a greater risk of seeing snow at lower levels as well as on the hills. Some drier and brighter periods are possible in the northwest, but in the south there is a chance of weather fronts approaching which bring a risk of rain, sleet and perhaps significant snow at times.
