Just now, Joe Snow said:
We’ve definitely been very lucky this morning even Crewe and Nantwich are seeing a decent covering. Stoke probably has had a good covering too. Talk about rubbish luck that you were away though.
Hahah. You literally couldn't make it up. The best snowfall in Halmer End for many years and they both happen the two days I'm away!! But don't regret it, stunning up here.
...this was yesterday. Cloudy this morning with spits of sleet. Heading back tomorrow and reckon there will be plenty left where I live now so will get my fix. haha.
Excited to see what the yellow echoes bring you all. Fingers crossed it's snow.

Heavy snow continuing 2-3cm now. V happy as thought this would only be a dusting for us Cheshire folk.
Looks like the heaviest bit isn't even there yet. Fingers crossed for you all down there.
Nothing in Keswick apart from a few drops of sleet!

Well it looks like Crewe is finally getting some... Mum just sent me this pic.
How long it will last? The yellow echoes are very close so hoping they get a heavier bit at least, would be great for the kids to see a decent snow 'fall'.

Am I right in thinking the system moves across then sinks south, so once the initial thaw is over then aren't we back to where we were before temps wise? If that makes sense?

OMG that low stalls just of East Anglia, it then turns round and heads south west! It gives 3 days of snow and up to 20cm for some!! Never seen anything like it! Absolutely bonkers and probably way off the mark but shows what is possible!!
We have all seen a low hanging about with a good 24+Hours of rain etc where you think, "If this was only snow?!"...looks like that could be the one!

I'm guessing we will soon start to see tonight's feature appearing on the radar. Kasim - which I have to say is a a top poster in here! - I'm sure will keep us in check in it's progression.
Selfishly I'm in Keswick so was the Euro4 projection as it looks like we will get some flakes at least. Will be nice to walk the lake tomorrow with a covering. Either way, good luck people.

Hi Cumbrian Marra. I'm in Keswick at the mo, so been keeping an eye on the forecast for here too and the latest Euro4 looks a LOT better for us on it's 6z run...

One to watch is this feature tonight - could well be a repeat performance for some to the south and east of the region.
Yeah, heard someone mention this in another thread so had a nosy. Most models agree that some feature will run across the south of the region tonight...some have it further north as well. I hope that is the case, more people in the fun.

Ben, I thought I was going to see nothing a bit back to to even get a dusting I'm grateful.
Of course I'd love 4cm of fresh snow but I can't grumble now really.
This is for Crewe...maybe squeeze another hour or so? The pulse looks quite intense.

I know I'm repeating my previous few posts but the pivot is looking potentially good for Crewe? Even an hour extra might add a few cms?

Plus just checked the Met O weather app and they are saying snow in Audley till 9am-ish. So maybe their model thinks the same?

Just now, Dexter said:
Still snowing here, light to moderate, tiny flakes. Just been out to measure - bang on 4cm of snow cover.
Been replaying the radar (and refreshing a lot! haha) and there is definitely a new pulse, pivoting round...so you might get a another few hours?

Crewe/Stoke/S Cheshire seem to be SO close to being in the Pivot point? Fingers crossed for you.

Please don't Corona shame me but I booked a few days away in the Lakes to work in my campervan before Boris n co changed the tiers...after this year I decided to keep it as was just me and Daisy (the van) and keeping myself to myself.
Anyways...sods law the bloody day I'm away, it looks like I must have had a few hours of snow back home. You couldn't make it up! Don't call it Karma!!
Stunning here though, only bits of snow at side of road but stunning mountains. Sadly the belt missed here by a millimetre on the radar but glad you lot are getting some. I'm hoping by the time I get back there will still be some on the ground.
@CreweColdI SO feel your pain...many many MANY times when living in Crewe when snow did fall it would be too wet to stick...That's where the altitude of where I live now really helps. If it is snowing but not sticking in Crewe then I know it will be sticking with ease up at mine.

Latest Euro4 snow accumulation up to Monday afternoon. Still a lot of uncertainty with this one.
Yeah, looks like it will be from the showers packing in from the west? Exciting week ahead.

If you are in the Midlands you will be hoping for this track to verify!

As ever these charts are subject to change at this range.
Great chart/model viewing though after the crud we had to endure last Winter - lovely to see a cold/chilly frosty outlook with the risk of wintry potential throughout the UK and Ireland.
Makes for great discussion and analysis in here from everyone.Going by the Weather Warning that's just been announced by the MetO that they think this is the path.

Morning all. Strange Euro 4 charts this morning...
This model is normally really conservative with snow but this is for tonight... snow in the belt...? The uppers are only 0c, Air Temps are 7c etc...
Then it looks like snow from the showers all the way after the front clears...
This is not to drag up #UppersGate but lots of things - I thought - don't scream 100% snow...especially the chart for tonight where temps aren't even that cold.
Just wondered if the experts can spot something I haven't?

Just now, chris55 said:
This very large low centre is remarkable to see!
I can’t remember seeing such a chart before, it looks strange, with the tight isobars suddenly giving way to a large hole.
The lack of wind and low heights should aid snowfall if areas of ppn are caught in that airmass.
My knowledge of such a set up is zero lol, and not sure how fronts/troughs would sit/behave within such an area.
Will be a nice little bit of learning seeing what happens with it if it verifies as shown.
Me too, a few times this week I have questioned something and then someone beats me to the questions on here...haha. I was wondering the same...how can it go literally from a Col to gale force winds a few miles away? What will differentiate between those masses as such? Fronts?

Blatant cherry picking but perturbation 24 is insane with a deep area of low pressure diving south with -12C uppers tucked in with it as it would bring memorable blizzards for many. Would cause absolute chaos!
I've been thinking the past week, what weather would I pick if I could pick a chart...and selfishly it would be something like this. A beast from the east is great but being to the west of the Peaks/Pennines always causes a shadow so only the perfect synoptics will give us a dumping
...these charts however would be just amazing to see and something I never have experienced in mt 39 years. A true blizzard (gale force winds and heavy snow) from the north. If this happened then a dream come true.

Totally agree Rob, this is exactly the point that a lot of posters are missing. Sure, many of us want to see snow - and decent snow at that - but we do get a lot of people on here stirring repeatedly. However I am sure for 95% of us we are just in awe of the synoptics which are most unusual, and it's certainly great to watch it unfold, regardless of whether we are going to be knee deep in the white stuff.
I agree. Yes, I would love 2 ft of powder snow and ice days but if I forever wait for that then it could be a long damn wait! . After the past few years of 'meh' I am glad there is at least some scope for some fun and games the next week or two at least.
