no snow in north wales just checked web cams

Not sure if you ever look at the free radars but this shows clearly why your still getting snow and probably will until after 11am :o Meteox Radar

[Snowmad79]

Couple of inches, snowing lightly at present.

you sure about that ? I make it about 1 inch tops and that doesnt include the several lying inches already on the ground and the 1ft drifts here and there lol. :o

ah ok sorry about that loulou, it was part of the original band of precip moving up from the south, it kind of fizzled between mine and your area leaving that blob over you by the looks of it .

Well I was right in my forecast of the south, east and higher parts of the region getting the snowfall again today. With some people reporting falls of a few cm's. Interesting stuff indeed.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Bit diappointed here to be honest.

Barely 2 cm have fallen and the snowfall has been very very light in the main.

meto radar looks pretty poor now for this area with most of the slight precip that was hovering round here passing away to the ne

If that band just moved South alittle more

Light snow is fizzling out now after giving a dusting/slight covering here. We were lucky last night that the temperature fell below freezing and allowed even the light snow to settle.

On the other hand, we've been unlucky because the main area of precipitation was further east than forecast.

The radar shows some enhanced precipitation is south Wales moving to central Wales and west Midlands but i don't think it can push up here.

At the same time, the border/far north of England have another band of precipitation which has intensified. This is the cold front that is expected to move slowly south and pass over our region this evening but i doubt it will have much precipitation left by then, maybe another dusting in places.

Today's models and fax charts look a bit colder for the weekend and we remain under the 528 line. Sunday's Atlantic front may prove rather interesting as it bumps into colder air and it doesn't look like having as much mild air behind it as yesterday.

Brickfielder in the Model discussion thread said that there is also a possibility of a streamer from the Irish sea on Saturday, if the wind get's more northwesterly.

All an all, plenty to keep us interested in the next few days!

Although on the precip charts it just looks like a weak front for sunday.

I notice on the UKMO model, there are one or two kinks in the flow which may indicate troughs in the flow for Saturday. Something to watch.

Kayro,

Good optmistic post. Its frustrating seeing and reading about the big dumps elsewhere!!

A dusting from light snow here to the North of Manchester.

Not expecting anything significant from the front coming down from the north. NW'ly streamer may be good in the south of the region, would be localised though. Lets hope Sunday's system can give a decent punch, it could be disingigrating fast as it comes into the cold air.

[Thunder Snow]

On the latest radar on rain today, it looks like that front from the north is gathering energy . Im no weather expert, but it looks better than it did early this morning.

Mr data is that Saturday day/night.

Although im not expecting much on Sunday, as the front looks weak on the prcip charts.

[snowmanatee]

Got a bit of a dusting here, nice surprise. Still snowing very lightly

[Weather-history]

Is that around 18.00, if so i will have finished work and may be able to watch it develop.

Am i in the right thread for Cumbria, because people seem to be chatting South of me lol.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Stopped here now i hope there is not a major thaw between now and 4pm as the sun drops and the skies clear.

Dont think that front will bring anything here but im a bit confused that it seems to fizzle out as it moves south only them to re-intensify as it passes through the midlands.

i can only assume the band will have the intensity taken by the pennines.

[Roady]

snow fizzled out now in south liverpool. left a slight dusting but that will gone in half an hour or so.ah well nice to see the grass with a covering.no more expected for us i dont think.game over or now.whats the gossip for the weekend, are things looking goood or not??
