Just on the bus home and from east Wirral there was pretty uch no frost, and in west Wirral, particularly up to Heswall, there is a hard frost, mazing how a few miles can make a difference!

Wasn't the cloud cover last night just the front passing through? You should see a much lower temp tonight. Already very frosty up here, and it's still very early

It got down to -1.8c last night before then the cloud came over and lifted the temps when I looked this morning it was 2c and everything thawed.

But when I went down to town this morning it was white over trees too,it seems up on a hill the temps are not falling that low at all so far different to last winter.

The next few days should change that.

I have to say that one of the main reasons I'd hope for a good dumping, if it ever happens, is that it's always great to read and contribute to the 'as it happens' type threads. Late nights, treks outside with video and stills/camera, running back to read the forums is so much fun, regardless of the extreme event in question. :D

Possible for some snow showers around the 'Cheshire Gap' area tomorrow morning, could give a few coverings (local), according to the BBC 10pm news, I could never have called that, apparently very localised though! These are progged to move into the Midlands tomorrow

Looks like the snow will stay south of Birmingham and anywhere away from the south coast atm.

Are you suggesting there will be no snow north of Brum then? Unlikely!

I'm not exactly happy with the charts. Wintry showers are not progged to come significantly inland into north-east England; and Thursday's event (although still highly uncertain) progs the main mass of precip to skirt to the west of Tyne&Wear\Durham...leaving us with the mere scraps.

I just want a decent north-easterly. This is an over-rated over-ramped 'event' (that is still on a knife-edge).

We are never ever going to see significant snow again.

Come, come join me under my shiny new dome.

over-rated/ over-ramped?? if some places ended up with 20cm of level snow that wouldnt look like a good comment, how ever if they got rain all day it would look excellent, the proof will be here soon enough and hopefully for every1 it will be a classic.

20cm of level snow is bog-standard for a hill above 1,000 foot in the north in mid-winter.

Sorry....but I fear that I will have to join Paul Tall in his snow-shielding dome, because I'm p*ssed with this winter. Especially because I live in the north-east for gods sake....with historically a much higher record of snow than anywhere else in England.

I hope for the love of God this doesn't happen Thursday morning.

I'm getting a flight to go skiing in Colorado Thursday @ 1pm.. Hopefully it rains.

If it doesn't, you can always ski in Gatwick! :whistling:

Regards,

Mike

A few snow flurries maybe expected over E. Anglia aswell tonight and into the morning before clearing, not amounting to much though. Looks a good day for North and East Scotland for continued sleet and snow showers.

Down to -5.8C at shap at 2200:

BBC Weather. Possible snow for NW, NE & Scotland & N. Ireland tonight. With lots & lots of snow from Midlands Northward on wed night. I will tell you what, since about the 25th of this month, the models have predicted this. They need a badge for doing that! So far out into FI and they get it right...

It also showed snow for the west country as well. People are so hung up on this Midlands North thing :whistling:

I don't entirely follow TEITS' comment about satellite. Radar updates far far more quickly (5 minutes on NW Extra) and is far more accurate. I thoroughly recommend NW Extra at this exciting time. Click my link below. Go on now, you know you want to ...

Simple really Richard the radar echos don't show up in the Atlantic ocean on the NW radars. :whistling:

The radar shall be invaluable but the Sat pics will be the first ones we need to view to see exactly where this LP is and the direction it is taking.
