Agree with Cheshire above on this one - Heaps of potential late this week. ECM, METO and GFS appear to back this so good to have a bit of agreement - even more potential if you're inland > 10 miles I'd've thought. (bit of a guess) Additionally the Easterly may spring one or two surprises, the odd shower can occasionally make a guest appearance if it makes it over the Pennines. It's Usually 24 to 12 hours before the event that shower activity can be confidently/precisely forecasted so still a bit to play for in regards of Friday/Sat if the temps, dew points, wet bulb, Heights etc. are favourable. IMBY, hope the North Lancashire snow deflector is broken for once, the odd flake or two would be a nice change

A wonderful dry summer for some top cricket on dry, spinning pitches would be nice. The way i believe it will pan out is it will be a 'better' summer than last year i.e. drier, but it will remain cool compared to recent years with temps hovering around average. A nice hot spell in august would do me nicely!

Sorry to be a pedant but that was Lancashire v Derbys, and it was the first time clive lloyd ever saw snow. It happened in June 1975.

Hmm i agree, unfair i call it :lol: they must be getting sick of the stuff by now... Anyway we all pretty much have some chance of seeing some tomorrow evening, so chins up! Something tells me this might come off for once - even if it's just a gut feeling.

Gosh I wonder... when i finally get some perhaps?

Well it's been a bit disappointing here, got some overnight last night but nothing alse all day and theres very little left on the ground now, It was to be expected though, as we weren't and aren't forecast to get anything in the next 48 hours. Hopefully we will finally see our fair share later in the week.

Excellent here, a heavy shower brings 2-3cm sorted!

Anything that falls anywhere should be there in the morning so I hope to see at least something when I get up rather than waiting now, although I suppose that's the fun bit.

I know its dangerous chasing snow blobs on the BBC but i couldn't resist, according to that Lancashire and much of the north west stays snow-free throughout this period but i do find it very hard to trust this so ive had a go at my own ratings of the NW chances of snow in the next 2-3 days; 85% West Yorkshire, 80% Derbyshire, 70% Cheshire + G Manchester, 60% East Lancs, 40% Merseyside + Rest of Lancashire and Cumbria. The affect of the pennines could spoil the party for a number of us in terms of a decent dumping. Anyway these will probably be all wrong by monday so good luck to everyone. It's 4.8 degs up here atm, positively tropical.

Hopefully monday night and tuesday morn will bring some wintry showers to the area which would be nice considering i haven't seen any in 3 years here!
