Day 10

Yeh deffo we live in one of those little snow shakers, except with ours the snow falls on the outside around the dome lol

I said earlier this cold spell should last at least a week and there may be other chances after tmr/thurs if we miss out. Yeh I am pretty much the same as you only other side of mersey, not great for snow round here. things need to always fall perfect for us

Reading between the lines on the models/met o, I think the best chance/conditions for more widespread sleet and snow showers looks to be between Thurs 3am to Thurs 9am. Accumulations near coasts doubtful.

Yeh just a dusting lol

My take on things

Net weathers take on things

I second that

Yes this is our best chance of the winter, over the next week at some point.

From what I've seen tonight in the models, this cold spell could be one of those that slowly but surely gets better and better and upgrades as we go along (in snow terms). Already esp from the ECM things look like prolonging. Nothing to be dispondant about tonight from me!

That forecast to me says even the coast can see falling snow. I think we have our best chance from Sunday as winds veer more northerly so less modification from the Irish see and more chance of lying snow if more oranised bands of snow move south

Yes it has been wrong before like most models when snow is forecast

The way I see it is we ALL have a decent window between Wed pm to say Tues (or even longer) to see some falling snow and many will see lying snow. This is going to be a pretty unstable air stream coming over the UK so more organised bands of snow showers could form at quite short notice. So if you don't see snow tmr/Thurs do not despair or throw the towel in as something may just crop up which sweeps down from the North esp between Sun to Tue. I live very much in a rubbish area for snow, so to start with I'd be happy with a few half decent snow showers whether they stick or not. Good luck to everyone, let's hope by this time next week we'll all be fairly happy!

The best window for snow looks to be from about 1pm wed through to about 11am thurs before less cold air moves in. Colder weather begins to make a return through Saturday with no doubt more snow chances but too far out to even bother thinking about. Places much further inland and with elevation obviously will fair far better.

Really interesting watching this storm develop in the US, New York already getting hammered now! 1 to 2 or even 3ft in places and here's us desperately after 1cm plus lol

I would like to think hail/sleet/snow showers will get this far south at times. I remember a few years back I think it was 2010 snow showers from a west to north westerly made it here on the Wirral. And yes it was even colder then so snow settled very easy. But I am just making the point that I think some showers will make it here. 2015-1-28.pdf

They even get a starter before the main course!!

Nice one, oh we can but dream

Yes TEITS cold cold cold

This would do us just fine

Argh don't that's a terrible thought!! Cheers Backtrack for taking the time there

Just wish the uk was 200 miles further north then we'd all be happy!

Me too mate, it's all about just getting that snow fix however little lol

I still think from these charts and looking through the 12z runs so far that the warning zone still has time to expand a little further south. I think the coast can see snow showers, whether they accumulate or not is up for debate. Wednesday night will be the best chance. Some places inland are going to get plastered though. And even if some do miss out there will still be other chances I feel.

See you tmr then

A little more amplification than the 12z
