Aside from the ECM carcrash this morning, i expect snow warnings for the above to come out either today or tomorrow for our region.
Agreed, I think this system is pretty well nailed on now and with even colder air tucking in behind it could be one of those rare events when rain turns to snow or stays as snow right through.
that would make a change from the default setting of a bit of snow that can’t wait to turn slushy as the mandatory warm sector moves in.
as for who sees the most snow, very much up for grabs but I would imagine the usual mountain areas, North Wales, Cumbria etc should get a few hours of heavy snow as the front passes through but hopefully everyone will join in the action.

My 2cm of snow has turned into a slushy mess
never mind there’s always the next time.
-
Stopped now but it’s left a couple of cm of snow so I suppose I can’t complain and it might give some decent walking conditions tomorrow.
looking at the models I can’t see it being the last snow we see although judging by the toys being thrown from prams, others in the mad thread aren’t happy with what they are seeing.

A bit sleety at first but snowing heavily and settling on all surfaces now.
its been a long while coming but finally a welcome to winter 2019

Stupid o’clock start this morning but thankfully no snow or ice to clear before I set off and dry all the way down to the midlands.
A bit of snow on the cars in Coventry but it must have been a rouge shower as a couple of miles away, nothing.
all in all a lovely but cold day.

Well something snowy fell for a while as my velux was covered then there was as a rumble of thunder and it’s stopped now
Yep a bit sleety on the windscreen coming home from work but it’s fine again now.
Only 3c now though so a good chance that anything that falls will be wintry.

The 200m figure is often mentioned as a reliable cut off line - but it doesn't mean places below the line won't see snow, just less chance, however, if precipitation is heavy, evaporative cooling can bring the snowline down close to sea level - this often occurs though inland, in hillier regions such as here, where extra cooling is caused when air is forced over the central lakeland fells, it happens on the eastern edges of the Pennines as well, and more generally in the Peak District.
I think there’s a lot of truth in the 200m rule.
It’s amazing how often i’ve driven home from Manchester and rain and green has turned to sleet and then settling snow as I got half way up the Rossendale Valley, about 200 metres.
Beyond that it would be thicker in the town centre at about 250 metres and more still at home.

I’m 190m lol
Plenty of altitude here but we still often struggle with snow.
TBH most of the North West region is pants when it comes to snow.

Some members on high ground could wake up to a covering on Thursday morning.
Go easy on me but after the slightest dusting in late October and not a flake since, the one think I don’t want to do is wake up to a covering at stupid o’clock on Thursday morning when I have an early start to a meeting darn sarf.
if it can wait until about 8 ish i’ll Be happy.

Can’t speak for others but up here the last 24 hours have been awful with strong gusty winds and continuous drizzle and at times heavier rain.
it really is depressing stuff, especially given that anything remotely cold and more seasonal is continually at least a week to ten days away.
personally i’m struggling to think of a period of more turgid non discript weather than what we have had for the last couple of months.
role on summer

On the positive front I'm off to the pacific coast of Mexico tomorrow morning for 2 weeks ,so no doubt i'll be enjoying tropical sunshine,warm seas and a few tequilas amongst other things...hope you all get the cold you crave whilst i'm away , save some for my return though
Enjoy mate.
there were a couple of bars on the sea front selling bottles of Corona at a dollar a time.
we only stopped off for a couple of days on a cruise, it would have been a matter of hours but for some essential maintenance but I liked the place and for any scouse visitors feeling homesick it has a large shopping mall near the cruise terminal called Liverpool.

RIP Diane
As others have said, she got a bit of light hearted stick on here due to her mild ramping but in most cases she ended up being proved right and when snow was definitely on the cards she had the cheeky smile that makes you think she did actually like a bit of the white stuff.
to me she was like a non posting member of this thread and I for one will miss here on the television.

What does everybody think to our chances of snow towards the end of next week?
My thoughts are that it will be summed up by a big fat

Nothing to say that others haven’t summed up already.

I agree thought after the hot summer we had we would have had more storms than we had and October November is usually very windy too but nothing to get excited over
It tends to be windy around late December early January here but it’s more to do with diet than the position of the jet stream
it has been a bore fest so far though and if we can’t have snow and cold then give me gales.

All looking a bit downbeat in the mod thread tonight with the “nailed-on” snowmaggedon being pushed back again and now scheduled for around mid summer.
never mind at least we’ll have some light nights to enjoy the sledging.

Greetings fellow North westerners,not posted on here for a while,normally i'd be trawling through the forums looking for signs of cold snowy weather,this year i'm hoping it stays away as I'm off with the wife to the pacific coast of Mexico in a couple of weeks for some sunshine and to celebrate her birthday , so I do not want anything to get in the way of that plane leaving.
Weatherwise it's another grey dismal day in Wigan with a temp of 8.5c, so pretty boring.
Nice, we did the Pacific coast of Mexico on a cruise a couple of years ago.
it seemed hotter than the Cacun side but the Corona was just as cold and a bit cheaper.

North West Regional thread 01/09/18 Onwards......
in Regional
Posted
Saying North West usually means of the British Isles so it’s a damn large area and my guess is the sweet spots being NW Scotland and N Ireland.
but it’s nice to hear and when it comes to snow, certainly better than hearing South East
