I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it missed the northwest completely and hit the Midlands instead. this seems to have occurred a lot over recent winters and is up there with the southerly tracking systems that always seem to fizzle out south of Manchester, something that looks likely to be happening again tomorrow.

Just been to Burnley and it’s amazing how frustratingly close we came to getting a covering from yesterday’s shower stream. only a mile north and east of here is white, yes with height but the snow line heading down into Burnley is way lower than my own altitude so it looks like the showers somehow managed to pretty much skirt around here. hopefully we get an invite to tonight’s snow party
-
Yeah, just have a feeling that it may reach the Pennines further south than here and be more of a Peak District and North Midlands event. Love to be proved wrong though and see falling snow when I open the curtains in the morning.
-
They’ve used a pretty broad brush though, even larger than the governments COVID Tier brush but at least the threat of snow is there. We usually get something from an easterly or ENE although after last nights local mega fail I’m not hopeful but in the end it’s just down to nowcasting.
-
Not expecting anything tonight so I’m not disappointed when I get sod all.
-
well after spending most of the last 20 hours either too far south, east or north of anything falling from the sky I’ve got my shovel available to borrow if any of you lucky people need snow shifting never mind there is a chance of something from the east later today although no doubt the mighty Pennines will stop that dead in its tracks and give Yorkshire a covering instead

We’re only a small country but a huge one when it comes to variations in weather.
-
The timing might not have been but the weather certainly was.
-
Now that was damn cold, better blizzard in the 2013 version but for bitter cold and ice, 2018 won hands down.
-
Better effort than here although it’s only just started doing anything over here.
-
Shower stream has definitely moved south a bit but but even at my altitude it’s still very wet and struggling to stick. better than rain though I suppose.
-
Started doing something here but it’s only light and not sure whether it’s rain, sleet or snow.
-
Has anyone any idea why showers on a westerly often grow in intensity when the cross the Pennines but usually die a death when coming in from the other direction. watching the radar, parts of the southern dales are getting hammered by something, either wet or white.
-
Hopefully but it’s typical that as soon as the showers start to hit land slightly further down the coast, the direction has veered into more of a SW/NE direction meaning that they are still not affecting any different parts of the region. either that or Winter Hill thinks it’s part of the Andes and is stopping everything in its tracks.
-
FGS, if the BBC graphics are close to being true we’re entering drought conditions IMBY after tonight’s slightest of potential, it’s dry dry dry until new year. One crumb of comfort though is that today I was forecast snow throughout and it’s been mainly dry so the BBC’s information isn’t something you’d put your last fiver on.
-
Apologies for sounding like someone from the model thread but can I please have a southerly correction to the showers currently crossing the region as I’m irritatingly right at the bottom edge of the stream I’m not being greedy, 20 miles will do fine
-
Showers getting more frequent here but a sleety mix rather than snow.
-
Just having a light snow shower but even after all of the overnight rain, the ground is so cold that every flake is sticking.
-
Went to bed with rain lashing against the windows and a raging torrent of a stream down from the house and then woke up to ice everywhere. all we need now is the forecast snow showers to arrive and it could be an interesting days weather.

Blooming hell, no matter what HMG said, that would close the schools -
Yeah it’s an absolutely vile night to be anywhere other than sat in the chair with a bottle of red and on Netweather. Interestingly the EA already has a flood warning for the upper Irwell catchment so they must be expecting plenty of rain overnight and into tomorrow. then it’s time for the snow

Yeah for here showers from a westerly or wsw seems to give the largest snowfall amounts. we got around 30cm in an afternoon from a similar set up a few years ago. -
Latest BBC graphics have me down for heavy snow throughout tomorrow and temperatures barely above freezing. obviously it’s likely to change again but things seem to be firming up that Sunday and Monday could see much of our snow starved region finally see a decent convering.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope we can get shut of this horrible virus and you can get back with you family soon.

All’s gone quiet in the mad thread, I can’t possibly imagine why unless the threat of snowy Armageddon in the Home Counties has been scaled back.
