Snowmad79

I should imagine all levels, but the problem is between 5pm and 6pm this evening warmer air is due to sweep in from the west which may well turn any showers back to rain. Areas at 200-300m + may see the showers stay as snow for longer. ** Any showers between now and 5pm will be snow to all levels - this will vary for coastal areas** The NW radar shows some heavy showers heading my way in about 15mins.

and winning the euro jackpot on friday is a possibilty too.... . Think ill watch the 06z gfs come out before I say wether i think it might or might not. Low 850s do sweep down again between now and tonight but thats to be expected with this ecroaching northerly .. wonder where that HP to the south is heading on this run ? LMAO by the time that ppn does it dance around our perhiferary (or however you spell) into scotland, it looks like well be under mild air before the ppn sinks southwards .. lol were in for a good soaking tomorrow i reakon.

Were about to get rail roaded by a bartlett-esque / sinking HP so expect Higher temps and plenty of muccy PPN infact you'll probably get more ppn than you did during the "snow events" lol.

Snowed here on my way to work last night at 21:40 leaving a dusting but this morning temps are up to 2.3 c already, its raining and foggy. so were back to the "typical" weather here.

Some of the NW lads were chatting about that last night so Ive just been looking at sat24 sat loop and it shows another swirling feature coming towards that one from the NW of it. Dunno if that has any irrelavance or not just thought id mention it.

What are the LP's you were talking about on satallite ? , just lookin at the sat now and it shows what looks like 2 tiny lp's spinning to the north west of scotland, one seems stationary and spiraling and the second one moving SE towards it and starting to suck cloud up from the the first. Anyways it appears that where I live had snizzly sleet though the night that accumilated to depth of around 5mm lol , well enough to cover the roads etc slightly and dust the original cover from last monday however less than mile down the road it stayed as mainly rain melting alot of the snow. Very borderline conditions for snow overall here lastnight .. the precip was certainly there though which would of provided decent accumilations. So I dont understand if it was borderline here how the heck did the colder air etc bypass us giving heavy snow down south ?, I would have though it should have stayed sleety down there at best. What a strange event.

Err hangon a minute my snowmoscale doesnt seem to be picking anything up, ill just have a look out the window. It looks like fine sleety specs of snow blowing about.

Ok fair point James, I should be greatfull of what we have had compaired to what others have had. I guess I just crave a proper snowy winter of old but imo weve had better than this even within the last 10 yrs with 1997 being the last really memorable winter for me. However in my eyes, dustings or pittyfull snow falls (like yesterday and now) do not register on my snowmoscale lol. Yep I said yesterday it think that the northwest can be garunteed to get the worst and most of the precip when we least want it, plenty through the year then as soon as winter arrives we more or less get a drought.

I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad nice[ UNDERSTATMENT - THANK YOU MODERATORS] to hear those reprts of Heavy wet snow in Oxfordshire. Despite one decent snowfall this winter up to now its looking like a typical + 2001 winter up here even on the west pennine hills. Even last year we had more snow events up here im sure of it. All the charts point to continued cold ecm look all over the place with regards to where it wants the systems but most of all what is annoying me is, yeah its looking cold but all the ppn want to bloody go round us and who the hell wants sustained periods of cold DRY weather ? NOT ME thats for sure. Thanks for reading my rant Possibly right that, todays updated meto warnings leave a couple of NW regions in the warning for tuesday for heavy snow. Blackpool Cheshire Gtr Manchester Heavy Snow Tue 10 Feb There is a moderate risk of a severe weather event affecting parts of England and Wales on Tuesday. A band of rain will turn to sleet and snow in places as it moves eastwards. There is the potential for around 5 to 10cm of snow, especially over hills. Issued at: 1127 Mon 9 Feb

Weve had fine snow up here the last hour (more like snow particles untill the 10 mins now there more visable) and temp wise my station says 0c here which is/and probably will start droping more now i think. Wind Chill feels quite bad out there now. As for that UKMO, it shows the centre north of the uk on that run with obviously colder air pulled down towards the uk so It wont be as mild as it looks IMO specially so at night time. Then theres those Fax charts what Tucco posted surely they will have an effect on the outcome of where that HP manages to move to if at all at 72hr+......

We recieved snow showers on a off through the night just after 2am which to my surprise were HUGE flakes for a change the showers wernt persistant so it has only been enough to cover the road and paths etc which was nice. If they had carried on non stop it would have been mayhem on the roads this morning. Some roads on my journey home were untreaded.

Well i dont know If youve seen the latest ECM Icelandic Version charts yet posted in the other topics but that has the LP further north putting the south of the region well within the heavy ppn band with lighter stuff futher north.

Then What do you call this then > http://www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?s...t&p=1477492 Better read it because there more than enough evidence suggest Parts of the Northwest could see something from Tuesdays Low pressure system. Theres even the possiblility it could effect areas up to the scottish border. Most of the latest model outputs are more in favour of a northward shunt of the system which would see the ppn reaching atleast the south of this region.

Precip has picked up here now and I can actually class them as flakes again. Roads are now virtially covered.

Exactamundo mate .... lets hope the next 2 days produce the goods hey ?

You could be right but you could also be wrong most models are in favour of the northward shunt of the LP now, even Satallite imagery from noaa (actual positioning of systems) suggests the LP was already coming from a more northerly position than the models were previously showing. The latest satallite image should be available after 6pm this evening and it will show where that LP really is

WOW theyve actually added us to the heavy snow warnings for monday and tuesday now, upto 15cm monday and upto 15cm tuesday LMFAO thats great news. Still a little Snizzle goin on here

Made a post not so long ago in the NW thread saying that I believe that the channel low is starting from a more northerly point than the charts were/are showing. Thats what I think looking at Noaa Sattalite imagery and loops.... Looking good. My Post http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/met8/neatl.html [ noaa North atlantic satallite imagary ]

OMG the flakes are that big over there on the east of the pennines while us on the westside were expecting the best of it and only get patchy snizzle ... eeee I dont know and to think some of you were whinging about not getting any lol.

Huh ?? will pass us by ?? ... its not even reached us yet as it ?

I think you'll find its the other way round the Radar is showing snow where there isnt any. the Radar is also no doubt operated by Southerners and are feeding it false data to wind us up . Precip here looks more like very fine sleet atm. As for the Channel Low ive been looking at satallite imagery and loops for the NE atlantic and IMO it looks to me like the centre of it is more north to start with than it appears on all the charts. Thats an image I edited after veiwing the loop and thats where the low appears to me. Original images and loops here >> http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/met8/neatl.html

Looks like it stopping here now :lol: . An excellent blink and you'll miss shower lol

Well i can see some nice ppn over the hills to the north of Rochdale but broken cloud above me and not a single flake ... oh wait I see a couple passing the window now Rochdale is about to dissapear from my view by the looks of the snow showers up there.

Update - PPN TYPE radar including wind direction, speed and importantly T850 temps : Just to add Dew points are generally -1 to -2 in the region.
