Icon doesn't even get the precip to the Midlands on Thursday.
If that’s the best it can offer it can stop south.
anyway i’ve only got one snow shovel and i’ll still be digging all of tomorrow’s and wednesdays snow out so will need a break on Thursday

79 was special.
Must have been over a foot of snow here. Seemed to last for ages.
We had snow on the ground from new year into mid March and much of the time it was drifted as high as the top of the downstairs windows.
just a shame it was before digital cameras and phones, the photos would have been amazing.

It has been utterly pathetic. One of the worst winters I can remember, and there have been a few bad ones!
The thing is once you've experienced winter weather like 2010, the bad becomes REALLY bad.
Unfortunately i’m old enough to remember 1979 and around these parts it made 2010 look pretty snowfree
but I know what you mean.

Quite a few showers getting going out west now and the one currently to the north of Preston hopefully has my name on it.
its cold enough for snow so just need them to be beefy enough to cross the region before dying out.

Watching dancing on ice crap but icy
I think i’d sooner watch the south getting snowed in than dancing on ice

#SNOW RISK MAP Here's the first 'Early' Snow Risk Map for Tuesday & Wednesday of this coming week. Expect changes to this, potentially even quite dramatic changes. Area's outside of any zone could still see snow whilst areas within could still see rain! #uksnow
In other words they’ve no more idea than the rest of us.

Always did like the Countryfile forecast
Thankfully i’ve always trusted the BBC CF forecast over any of the others.
pleeeeeese don’t don’t go and anything silly now to jeopardise that trust

I’ve been out this afternoon so haven’t had chance to look at the various posts, especially the mad thread.
How’s it looking for our region, are we going white or staying green while others get buried in the stuff.
quick update anyone

1000ft up in the South Pennines, I think you might get the odd flake mate
I can live 2000 ft up but if everything is corrected south (bloody hate that term) then I get nowt.
i know what you mean though

......and here visiting in Oxenholme fells look great. A few blizzardy showers over toward Wetherlam.
We’ve had a few flakes flying about in the wind and the sky looks full of snow but there’s nothing showing on the radar within 100 miles of here.
i just hope I don’t look back in a weeks time and this was the only snow I ended up getting.

I think the only certainty with the next few days weather is the uncertainty and hopefully all regions will see some snow but as for where and when, the models are all over the place.
it’s certainly making for some banter in the mad thread though.

The cumbrian floods were in that to be fair though weren't they?
Sorry my mistake, the series I was thinking of was about snow only.

We are more than likely going to have endless talk of Southern 'corrections' over the next day or two in mod thread.
Yeah and Chanel 4 has already commissioned the latest episode of Britain’s Wildest Weather and we all know which regions will be playing the lead roles.

How nice would it be if for just once the low corrected north instead of south and gave us all a dumping Let's hope.
Problem is there’s more posters down south and every one of them is sucking the system in their direction so unless they all sod off on holiday at the same time it’s heading south

It’s always amazed me how small the weather systems are on this side of the Atlantic compared to those that seem to hammer the West coast of the US and Canada every year.
over here we fight over 50 miles north, south, east and west and one area only seems to benefit at the expense of another but on the other side of the pond a single weather system will dump massive amounts of snow across hundreds of miles at the same time.
theres probably a scientific reason for it but it’s frustrating when all most of us want is a memorable countywide snow event.

looks like somewhere in the Midlands may get clobbered on Tuesday.
This set up will cut off our showers too
TBH this was alway likely to be the outcome and after just watching the BBC forecast, both them and the Met O seem to be going down the same road of pushing the system far enough north to kill of our showers without allowing us to join in the fun of the frontal snow.
there’s still time for it to change though but I think this will once again turn out to be a case of our region snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
i haven’t dared go into the mad thread this morning although with the system looking that far north, toys may still be flying as areas further south could see rain instead of snow.
i may just pluck up courage and sneak in.

TV comedies are lemon these days, NW MAD THREAD fills the gap.
I think even the southerners are getting fed up with the southern bias in there.
maybe the mods will let us have northern model thread

Football puts me in a far worse mood than the weather! Offside and handball!!!!
Tell me about it, it’s just that when you need a lift, the weather usually kicks you in the nuts.

Nice sunset tonight
It was a bit like that here tonight but the puddle of water from our rain was a bit bigger than that one

Yup, another false economy, perhaps?
after reading pages and pages of posts in the south of England mod thread from people who couldn’t give a s**t about who else gets nowt so long as they have a full blown blizzard, I really want a countrywide event or that France gets the lot.

Two very boom or bust events on both Tuesday and Thursday in our region.
The pessimist in me is going for bust
no science in my thinking, just the way it always seems to happen for us.

snowing and sticking here, another couple of miles more and our Yorkshire friends can officially join in the fun.
