One thing I noticed on the MetO matrix is that the likely hood has downgraded and the impact upgraded, it could just be not wanting to go into Amber warning territory but as always I guess we will know more tomorrow won't we. Don't get me wrong I want snow more than anything, I just probably won't get giddy about it till I see it this time and just hope our snow shield generator fails

Alas I am beginning my offerings to the snow gods as my truffle shuffle snow dance failed last time! Everything looks much better this time though but DP and uppers so here's hoping

I grew up in Prestwich so used to ride all over blackley,crumpsall then moved to whitefield/unsworth so when it snowed we had plenty of sledge spots in Heaton Park and various golf courses. You could almost guarantee at least one snow day from school. From what I've read we'll end up with the winters of yesteryear as patterns inevitably repeat and it's funny how you can have nothing where you are and go a few miles or even meters in some cases and it's a winter wonderland! Here's to hoping for a good dumping in salford before winters done

Going to dry shampoo my hair so I can run my hands through and create my own personal snow storm....... bet even that will be a non event and won't stick!

Sorry griff74 bugger all here bud flits between rain sleet and snow

I remember getting stuck at my friends house for couple o days, I think it was the mumps

Big fat snowflakes coming down here

Same here *sigh* looks like any snow for us to have mixed with Satan's fart!

Looking forward to that one, I always end up being overly critical on these types of movie though and get disheartened at the silly little things, stupid I know! Give me my trust l96 over this snow hope any day! Off to bed to count sheep made of snow

On the nw snow radar it looks like it's pivoting slightly with a second area being sucked down to swansea, its like someone has a hoover drawing it in

If it wasn't for Jan's legs picture I'd be crying about now, the git that nicked my sledge must have stole my snow... can I have permission to cry and grovel for a swig o booze *sigh*. At least this year I got to see some white stuff, I can't remember any frost in my area last year! There's always Feb

Light dandruff Irlam o'th height... strangely coincided with my ice queen wife coming home (because she's permanently cold) time for snow dance ourside

You up near age Croft road/rainsough end fella? Cos you're at least a bit higher up that end.. that being said we should get something here

And after that post I took a bin bag out t' bin and some pants tucked into socks degenerate has nicked my trusty red sledge!!! I bet if we get a good dumping some terd goes door to door trying to sell sledges or hides is the park with an oversized coat asking everyone if they want to buy a sledge!!!! GRR

Got naff all in my part here, it's like mother nature must have had something nicked from the local wildlife here!! I did get to see some snow falling which was nice. As for rain shadow I can't see that applying to us here with this system coming from the west (but a powered snow shield when coming from the east as the pennine cause a shadow effect) as a weather system approaches the mountain etc let's say from the east then as it reaches the peaks it condenses and dumps(precipitates) there and Crosses over to the west side which creates the shadow as the air has little moisture left. (I'm on page 144 so I apologise if anyone has said this) it's more complex than that but that's the basics of it.

Same here mate, the positives of this are that the front is moving slow, temps look ok for an overnight dumping ( within -5 isotherm and DP) it could also be a case of BBC and MP not wanting to dive on this like a fat kid on cake due to uncertainty maybe or not wanting to overhyped a call.. I know they have the matrix to list a low confidence in something but still. Even the most experienced on here have struggled with snow calls and have said it could be a now cast jobby. At least if it is snow, the pennine snow shield can't stop it for us mancs mucka, just gotta wedgie my local salford scrotes to stop 'em nicking the white stuff, that'll teach them for tucking pants into socks!!

Aye and look how slow it's moving... barely moved the past few hours according to the nw radar app

At a guess, uncertainty of slider forming? Amongst other factors not wanting to risk the met office who cried wolf?

The salford snow shield is still powered.... its either that or the local scrotes have nicked the white stuff!!

Sunday 27th jan 19:00

Aye, at least we got a brief taste of the white stuff, I swear the next scally that I see letting its dog turd I'm gonna rub his nose in it if he don't pick it up! Had a snowball figHt in light oaks park with daughter on way back from school and got whacked in the chops by a dirty great big mud monkey mixed in with her snowball.... Dirty heathens!

At least we finally got a covering g of a CM here in scrote land(Salford)..... May be the Scallies ARE the snow shield! When I went off at 3am ish the snow gods had endowed us with dandruff as they bent over, dropped their pants and dumped everywhere else. At least we have finally seen some snow

How. Are you lot faring with snow snowmad? Mate of mine lives near the mumps

Glad you lot are getting it mate, my mum dad and brother live on ten bury toting ton border off walsahw road (not far from Toyota garage and b&q). Not checked outside here in Salford yet, no doubt it's still snizzle it's like the snow gods are giving us dandruff as they bend over to drop their trolleys and dump everywhere else lol

fingers crossed
