Insane charts
I always feel more relaxed when the MetO are onboard.
just hope the ECM plays ball now

Can you get snow depth charts on this, could be a laugh?
Don’t think you can get snow depth charts from the MetO ?

^^ that last chart looks like a Cheshire Gap streamer

Sleet here- at best..
Snap.
Seems the costal community had it better

Wind has picked up here. Flakes getting bigger
-
First few flakes starting here in Horwich. 190m asl so altitude will help a little

Going Sunday and coming back on the 31st. I can see even Piccadilly getting a covering of snow while i won't be here.
I can only hope that there will still be some fun to be had in February.
Snowed this morning at 3:30 in Piccadilly when I was going down towards the Mancunian way

To be honest a potent enough Beast from the East could actually give us quite a dumping, but it would literally paralyse and bury the East of the country if it was that intense.
I agree that a good Easterly can give parts of the Region a good Dumping. Those in the east of the county more so.
last March looking at the Radar you could see some fantastic echoes over the Oldham & Rochdale areas. As they moved west you could see them dying, as they got to my area, they still gave a good covering but 8 miles away in Wigan they just got flurries.

Left Horwich for work at 3am in heavy snow shower.
Got to Stockport @ 3:45 and was snowing there also.
Some fantastic charts this morning.. keeping my feet firmly on the Ground though.

The ECM has better strat resolution so will pick up on this sooner. I would expect to see some great blocking charts on the GFS too from now onwards.....
Thanks for the reply

well firstly, as the op output has suddenly seen some big Atlantic riidging appear, the mid strat has responded almost in tandem. It should be the other way around ....it may well be but the timescales are very close considering the difference between 50 hpa and 500 hpa
also note the lack of vortex over ne Canada. That’s a change and allows the greeny ridge to exist. If the trop and mid /lower strat are as close as this then generally the trop output is fairly reliable. The changes seen today probably reflects the downwelling imprinting from strat to trop .... shame we don’t have the eps strat data to see how that compares .....
Is this why we are seeing the Stella charts from the ECM ? It’s picked up the signal ?

Plenty of altitude here but we still often struggle with snow.
TBH most of the North West region is pants when it comes to snow.
That’s why I hate a North westerlies. The Irish Sea really is our nemesis.
I’D have a North easterly or Easterly every time.

Not sure which event you are talking about, but if you are referring to the beast from the east event on the 28 Feb last year, we received about 4 inches, and we are only 4 miles south of Ambleside. Indeed we saw a number of snowfalls last winter giving the occasional light cover.
Alas, there could be a surprise or two for some in the region on Thursday morning, more so places with heights, but some relatively low levels might see a dusting..
Fully expecting a Met Office yellow weather warning tomorrow morning, for most of Scotland, much of NW England, NE England, Yorkshire and Lincolnshore extending into the N Midlands - it will go something like this -
'A cold northerly flow will bring the risk of snow to low levels especially in Highland and Grampian region, where snow may fall down close to sea level. Further south snow most likely to settle on ground above 200 metres, but may reach lower levels in places. Amounts are expected to be small in the region of 2cms, but locally up to 5cms and 10 cms or more on high ground in north and central scotland. More of an issue will be ice, expect treacherous conditions on untreated roads and paths.
Looking further ahead, increased risk of widespread snow anywhere at some stage next week - but too early to call just where and when at this range. Anywhere with height almost guaranteed - around the 200m mark.
I’m 190m lol
