Just rain showers this morning.
If you look at the upper air temperatures, this cold spell should have produced a lot more wintriness but unfortunately we are paying the price of the warmer seas, moderating the polar maritime air.
Do you mean the one just south of the Isle of Man? It looks really intense! I think it will make landfall (lol) somewhere between Blackpool and Lancaster.
The problem is that unlike this morning, the wind will have a slight southwesterly element which almost always keeps Manchester dry under such set ups.
The wind will turn more westerly again tomorrow and then northwesterly which is better for me.
