Snow Watch: Nw England

[James M]

Another heavy shower just now, about 1cm and it's that nice dry powdery kind of snow which I haven't seen for a while.

Thanks mr sp..yes thats what I ment thank you

[whitewitch]

Interestingly the pennines (which are literally in my back garden if anyone knows lees new road oldham)seem to be pepping up the showers as they cross from huddersfield,they seem to be keeping their intensity but possibly weakening a bit as they head west through manchester.

In summery the further east you are is much better.

i know lees road - i am at the top of the hill in Uppermill :lol:

Just while we are on the subject of snow i suspect higher elevations could have 5 foot drifts up saddleworth sholver etc this week.

LOL, we should pitch into your radar costs, thanx James. This is god paying me back, just chose another new convertible, after I had seriously considered getting a 4x4!! If we have another cack summer, then I guess you will all be blaming me big time

[cheshire cat]

[snowdrifter]

...and all that lovely shower activity has a lot of travelling to do before it gets to me. Please don't keep it all you Saddleworth folk. :lol:

Evening everyone

Snowing here now in Newton-le-Willows (in between st Helens & Warrington) Quite big flakes as well :lol:

[SP1986]

Ehem 3 wirral folk :lol:

Well all in all there's about 10 Wirral folk on here but some of them dont come on much.

[karyo]

Yep and plenty more heavy ones on the way.

Thanks for the radar image.

It clearly shows three streamers. One in southeast England, the second in the Lincolnshire wash and the onethat's relevant to us: Humber and south Yorkshire westwards. Quite heavy showers in this one.

If you look at the satellite image you'll see an intense white blob of cloud just on the north sea heading our way for the early hours.

Good stuff, is it settling?

Newton-le-Willows is probably a contender for the coldest place in western England.

[seasider]

Just had a tiny dusting @ Norbreck, 5 miles north or Blackpool, clear skies now, hopefully will get a covering later tonight/early morning. Temp approx -1

[louloulou1964]

Yeah that's caught my eye, it seems to heading straight for N England, will be interesting to see what it brings.
