  1. Is it likely to be building on its northern flank with the convergence zone making its movement look northwards?
  2. Yes, usually just get a skittering even in the hills. The best snowfalls I remember are from an easterly or northwesterly that last for a while and we get a homegrown trough hanging over the western Pennines which can bring huge snowfall totals but again not over the whole region. I can’t remember this since the early 1980s.
  3. The snow depth figures for 1947 and 1963 are very telling for the region. East Cheshire had nearly a yard of level snow and Manchester notably in 1947 had just a few inches from dandruff!
  4. We are a very mixed region. My best snowfalls have all come from the east but notably in the 1980s. I’m not sure what 1991 was like round here I lived in London and thought 18” of snow must be normal in Brixton.
  5. i am not expecting anything more than dandruff fir a few hours yet. Doesn’t feel right yet. Think we need a few changes in the atmosphere yet but before things build up in the early hours. Not much science but I’ve seen this a fair few times.
  6. Id have to check my records but on the slopes of the Pennines we had already got a covering of snow at that point from showery snow. You do seem to want to argue rather a lot, are you OK?
  7. Woke up and looked out and we have a covering of something white! Too mild for snow I assume.
  8. I’ll be happy to see any snow on Tuesday but my real interest is one in a proper easterly developing. I’m slightly more confident of this now and I’m usually in a good location for these. If I’m not I’ll travel further east to my bubble. I know easterlies are not good for the whole region, we are one of the most varied regions.
  9. Yes and it was the UKMET that never went along with it. I’m sure the forum came to a conclusion at the time that if the ukmet model wasn’t on board then to be very wary.
  10. There seems to be a Macclesfield Rain Shadow looking at the radar.
  11. Yep I find it fascinating. Not always the case but often. My dad remembered working on a market garden in 1947 in Alderley Edge, it snowed every day and East Cheshire was almost cut off but they had to take flowers to the Manchester Markets and Manchester rarely had more than a couple of inches once they got there in an American jeep.
  12. There are dedicated 4x4 owner organisations covering the whole country ready to be used who have already been busy this year.
  13. Surprisingly thick fresh coverage overnight. More then I expected. Met office app shows heavy snow for 7am! There’s nothing within 100 miles on the radar.
  14. Definitely dying as they hit the hills but every flake sticks!
  15. I doubt many will keep intensity for this far south East but you never know. Stranger things have happened, and the front has now made its exit, finally.
  16. Last remnants of the front crossing over and a few flakes of snow. Iced over outside.
  17. I think, but you most likely know more than me but showers off the Irish Sea see unlikely to make it too far inland whilst the remants of this front are still around. As soon as it hurried up with its pivoting the better.
