I'm gonna be bold and say tonight Wigan will get Wind and ..................................................................S...odding Rain again , yet again we have managed to avoid even the slightest snowflake

And guess where is between the two?

Only Rain/Sleet/Hail/Graupel not seen a proper snow flake yet here today, typical winter weather .

I knew it would happen

Yep....I don't know why people get so taken in by the models, it nearly always ends up in rain and wind here,

For a change

Oh god not Eno , she's awful, how the hell she is presenting weather is beyond me ..totally clueless, and where the flip is Combria

I hope so but i'm not convinced ....yet

Agreed,BBC week forecast going for temps of 4-5c , hardly potent cold

Oh it will it always does..Summer warm rain , Winter cold rain

Rain for Wigan again

If you didn't laugh you'd cry ..Algeria , North Africa yesterday

BBC going for a jet stream across the country at the end of the week with LPs attacking from the Atlantic , no indication of anything cold

-1.1c here now

It reached about 4c today here , but in shaded areas (north facing front garden) it's still frozen

A low of -3.2c here and a very heavy frost

Still Just above freezing here 0.1c , thought it would drop a lot quicker than it has , feels more damp than frosty

1995 was probably one of the events i referred to,can't remember specifics..however 2 hours from Poolstock lane to the M58 is about average on a good day now..the whole town is gridlocked twice a day every day

The feeling of negativity probably comes from NW England , we've had no snow so far this winterand the models do not suggest that will change anytime soon

I moved to the NW in 1989 (Merseyside till 92 & then Wigan), and I could probably count on the fingers of one hand (that's 5 in these parts :-) ) the number of times we've had 'disruptive' snow since then, certainly it was a lot snowier and colder when I lived in Birmingham (1961-89). My son was born in 1997 in Wigan and the first time he saw heavy disruptive snow was in 2007 and that was when went to Sweden. I love this part of the country, it is my home, however I hate the fact we get very little snow and cold in the winter, similarly we also seem to have wetter cloudier summers than other parts of the country.

Not expecting anything here other than usual soaking of rain

I'll not miss it , the rain always wakes me up rattling against the window

You don't need a very long neck to be confident that tonight's 'event' will deliver copious amounts of rain for the Wigan area

Nowt here,just cold
