Winter Hill

Hence the pub run

I'd take those charts with a pinch of salt. I've seen many charts like that before and in reality, it's only the tops of the hills that get a covering.

Probably sleet knowing our luck....that damn warm Irish Sea

If it's from a Northerly direction then we will be bone dry.. what we need is a trough coming in from the Irish Sea and hitting the cold air. Otherwise it's a East coast & Northern Scotland Affair only.

Weird ain' it.. I've worked in Wigan many years ago, left Horwich with a good 6 inches of snow, by the time I got to wigan it was only a Dusting. That' what a bit of height does for you.

Thanks for the welcome, iand61. It'' guided me home many times my friend lol

Hi all. New to the forum. From Horwich, Bolton.

Hi all, new here. Just a question. Why is everyone getting excited over a northerly ? I mean the wishbone affect will be evident and apart from the coastal areas, the rest of us will be basically cold & Dry. I've only been following the models since the fabulous February 2009 outbreak which saw many areas of the UK hit by heavy periods of snowfall. From that day I've always thought that the metO was top dog. I personally think if we get to T+96 then the Euro models will not be far wrong. Here to facinating period of model watching and hopefully a white Christmas... not seen since 2010. Winter hill..
