[North West Regional thread 01/09/18 Onwards......]

Just like I said, the radar is turning pink as it leaves the Wigan area

We had snow on the ground from new year into mid March and much of the time it was drifted as high as the top of the downstairs windows.

just a shame it was before digital cameras and phones, the photos would have been amazing.

Tried to get up to Rivington pike & Winter Hill mast but it was impossible. 

My old man worked in Belmont and he said the snow was pilled up 5 feet high in places. 

I remember watching the weather forecast on the BBC and they mentioned that the Manchester area could receive up to 10 inches of snow. 

Was a remarkable experience.

Unfortunately i’m old enough to remember 1979 and around these parts it made 2010 look pretty snowfree

but I know what you mean.

79 was special. 

Must have been over a foot of snow here. Seemed to last for ages.

Radar interesting. That red blob that's developed off Southport has Manchester and the Peak District's name on it

If it turns pink after it leaves the Wigan area I’m in business. 

They are only 8 miles away but about 300 feet lower than me.

Can you dig out a classic snow event that actually makes it here pushing up from the SW, that would be good to see and to prove miracles do happen.

I  remember the day of the zeebrugge disaster  woke up to 6 inches of snow and it had all melted by midday.  Think that came up from the south west 

[North West Regional thread 01/09/18 Onwards......]

I would love a scientific report on why this happens with a south east wind.  I mean the peaks are not exactly the Alps.

Got a feeling that a few Toys  will be coming out the pram in the Mad thread. 

Gone from being buried to could be marginal.

The icon eventually pushes this in our direction at T180 but weakens it substantially and doesn't quite give it enough room to move.

 

Didn’t bluearmy say that there could be another slider at days 10-11 ?

could this be it ?

In the 3 years ive lived here , (first moved to little harwood in Blackburn) Theres a massive difference in Snow amounts now Ive moved down the road to Darwen. 

Darwen is a little higher than Little Harwood. 

I’ve seen the difference myself when driving up from Bolton and over the tops into Darwen. Get into Blackburn and it’s very different.
