I think those charts slightly flatter to deceive in all honesty, even the UKMO too me looks not as good as this mornings run.
I'm still going for the snow turning to rain event with the front stalling over southern Scotland.
I'd agree. Especially imby. Now looking likely ppn will reach here, but with an e/se I'm struggling to see significant ppn amounts for here at least.

The wrong way round wind today ..... Will be a bracing walk this afternoon for sure.

We have heavy snow symbols here for Tuesday now so UKV must be good. A 14mph ESE’ly though
Sleet symbols Tuesday here, and only a 50% chance at that. E/SE wind direction - thats what will kill the ppn for here if it gets this far.
All irrelevant this far out anyway. See what it says Tuesday morning.

Yep Manchester will only get light snow if this setup verifies , best to accept that up front.
Merseyside Lancs and Cheshire will do better.
If it happens you won't be the only ones .... trust me

Refusing to get drawn into this. I honestly cannot see the ppn reaching here, or if it does it will not be cold enough for snow. The front isn't aligned right for me. We need to see a more n/s alignment not a nw/se one. Too far out anyway for any excitement yet.

On the bright side, some Midlands people probably gonna get fined for having snowball fights during lockdown.
While we are continuing being sensible here.
Having a grass cutting fight doesn't have the same effect does it

I'd at least like it to be a good 100 miles or so further South if it's going to miss. Nothing worse than it coming within about 5-10 miles.
Like somewhere about 50 miles south of the south coast (im not bitter)

But the strength of the block in the right place..........
Boom.
Someone gets lucky - never PR4 lol
If it does get here you may be in a better position than me. Any kind of SE wind and we are out of the game here. I remember a couple of years ago when areas West, South and N of here god a really good covcering and here .... well enough said.

I don’t think Saturdays low will reach us.
I agree. I'm not 100% sure either will reach us to be honest. Strength of the block always seems to be under estimated in these positions.

Did you or do you remember the day & night that December 2010 when it rained and thawed more or less fully?
We'd just got back from Edinburgh after our honeymoon (4 nights in Dunkeld, 3 nights at The Scotsman in Edinburgh); fantastic time to have the honeymoon up there as the weather was superb and wintery/snowy. More so up the A9 Dunkeld/Pitlochry & House of Bruar way
Drove home and there was no snow to be seen at all after Annandale services; the tops in The Lakes were dusted but that's about it. We only just got out of Edinburgh as they shut the motorway more or less to the M74 (thank goodness for my wifes derv Ford Focus and it's skinny tyres); it drove down the Royal Mile in 2nd gear with no issues; lots of Mercs, BMWs and Audi's literally abandoned haha
Around the 1st week of Dec is froze really hard and there was some light snow; went to Leyland on a Sunday to see the sis in law and her family and it was raining. All ice & snow gone... Got there about 12'ish and aimed to leave around 8pm...
Got out to the car; it was frozen solid with clear, thick rock-hard ice! Took an age to clear, more so as in the wifes Focus again and that never got hot unless taken on a long run (my Integra DC5 was still having it's engine built at that time (supercharger etc). Managed to defrost it, got home and went to bed. Woke up the Monday morning and it'd dropped overnight; really heavy snow in Walton le Dale, because it'd frozen so hard it obviously stuck and the roads were lethal underfoot.
I'd been running my business from home for around 12 months then, so took the wife into work (the Uni) and came back in the derv and it was a sketchy drive haha Popped into see my folks (Cuerdale Lane way) and only just managed to get up Church Brow etc...
We had snow on the ground then right through until Boxing Day IIRc; it snowed a bit overnight Christmas Eve, but none at all Christmas Day; a great day to walk to my folks for Christmas etc...
I do remember the ice yes, also remember someone washing both their cars which helped it wasn't the best idea.

I have lived in Preston since 1998, there has never been more than /3 cm in that time........09/10 close y may have had more but not in the centre of town.
I am 42 years old most of that time in Liverpool or Preston, I dont think I have ever seen anything like a foot of snow, if I have it must have been when i was very young)
(it is possible im forgetting a bigger fall, or was away during one but i dont think so.)
Chris. We had a decent fall on several nights in the early 2010s. Memory a bit fuzzy but it caused a bitt of a stir as it was the heaviest snow round here for many years. I had some photos and on flat ground we had a good depth. I'll try and find them. We had more than 3cm here one Christmas day as well from heavy showers from a cold nw feed. 1998 ... just missed the Feb 1996 event as well.

Dull, damp, cold and miserable here. Outside its raining.

Local forecast BBC mentions snow tomorrow on high ground, possibly at low levels further east. Then same again on thurs, but was very short on detail. All a bit vague. One of those forecasts where there was a general waft of the arm towards the screen .... in other words they are still trying to fill in the details

That will be the ECM chart i posted up the page. Its now joined Arpege with a near identical prediction.
All interesting stuff. UK met having none of it though predicting temps of 7 to 8 c here by Thursday. Such disagreement at such close range.

5th day with falling snow here this winter and 4th day when we've had some kind of a covering. Really unusual for this part of the NW.

Quite good seeing that we live in something akin to Fenlands.
It was, but this set up has always been our banker for snow here.... we got more from that n/ne a few weeks ago which was a surprise at the time.
-
Managed 3 or 4 decent snow showers here. Little or no cover anywhere here. Showers changed readily to a sleety mix after 1pm.
Looking at the pictures posted earlier it looks as though Blackpool had a better covering than we did here.

No snow here. That band that moved through here earlier was sleet and hail mix.
-
Rain changed to hail in the heavier bursts but mostly still rain here.
-
Light rain shower here
-
Hail shower just passed through here. Bit of a covering on the grass.

The Met didn't forecast the good 6-7cm's we got the other night so I'm not too concerned about the areas they think will and will not get any snow.
They got it spot on for here forecast bugger all got bugger all.
