Wow, that says it all really!

At least the showers that are now coming our way should fall as snow on you.

I honestly think the snow showers that hit us were too early. If we would have got them around about now things could have been very different..

DP''s in the Region must be on the up like the Temps.

75% snow cover gone 

[North West England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards]

198m asl and my snow cover is vanishing before my eyes. 

Not good

Whiteout in Horwich

On the 7th day God created North West England and then Laughed.

[North West England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards]

This poxy region is jinxed... only a matter of time before the warnings are removed. 

Back to bed for me... pffffff

Well we are down to 36hours now -

it will be a nowcast but i'd go with the high res models now it is in their range-

EURO 4 will be nerously anticipated later- and a little nervously after that Chris Fawkes tweet 

Its got me biting my nails ..

I'm hoping for 20cm plus. Not being greedy it's just I catch the train to work from Horwich parkway to Manchester piccadilly and could do with the trains being cancelled and having a few days off.

Yes- they take all the intensity out of the system approaching-

Weird ain't it, I mean they are hardly the Alps.

For all those in Greater manchester we want the wind direction to be EAST or NORTH EAST 

I've always said I'm from lancs not Greater Manchester. So will I not be in the shadow

What is it with the MOD thread? People desperately saying still room for more southward movement.  No charts to back up their claim, no reasoning why they think it will move more southward.

The MetO  have issued a amber warning area due to the fact they are sure that this is the area that is going to be hit. 

Yet Fred from Essex thinks they are wrong lol

Question. Does Manchester airport cancel there flights in advance of the amber weather warning? I'm catching a plane to Tenerife at 10AM Sunday.

No.

It would cost the airport thousands of pounds for a weather warning that could not happen.

North Easterly wind and the North East get pasted. 

Easterly wind and the East get pasted.

North Westerly wind and Shropshire and the West mids get battered. 

Got to love our region..

I hope the large rainshadow was not there in the earlier frame.

Well the MetO dont think so hence the amber warnings. 

BBC are still getting their data from the Met.

Notice cumulus development to my west has a bit more oomph. Some radar echoes coming from that area

 

Cloud cover becoming a bit more widespread now. This morning the cloud cover was to my west looking at West Lancashire.. now the clouds are south and East of me 

[North West England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards]

Had a gut feeling that we would miss out on the fun on Sunday. 

Dusting of snow from overnight has all but melted.

Double whammy 

[North West England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards]

Poor

Got to laugh at the snow showers heading over the hills into Yorkshire. .. the very same hills that block snow coming to our part of the world.
