Snow Watch: North West England

[swainclubber]

Met Office Radar for NW Engand has The PPN heading directly for us

No need to panic at this Stage

we've seen it all before when things head our way but then change to follow the forecast route lol..i bet the gfs is right, it fizzles out on us then reintensifies down south lol

thanks! its taking me a while to get my head around this weather.lol.

hehe yeah it sure does!! :lol:

Not confident now for today it's hitting at the warmest time.

Not confident for Tuesday, the models are converging on a track up the channel for the low.

Thursday snow for eastern districts from the north.

B*gger all here haha!

Let's see what Countryfile says...

[Tucco]

The latest graphics on News24 show the snow fragmenting quickly across the North West with most of the snow going through the Midlands

Yet the radar shows the snow heading straight for us.

I give up :lol:

[Snow free zone]

[NorthWest_Snow]

its lovely and sunny now with cloud all around in all directions.

Temp now 2C

Dew point -1C

Think the band has stalled right slap bang in the middle of the irish sea, looking at whisps of cloud hitting the region at roughly southport area..but its deffo not moving towards liverpool with any speed.

Be nice to know what temp the irish sea is right now?

wouldnt worry about what the beeb say too much lol

Liverpool is perhaps the only place on earth where if we where in an iceage it would be gloriously warm and sunny..thanks to all the polluting companies in this city..leave your window open and within 5 days they are black with god knows what no wonder it never snows..last time a good dumping ie over at least 5 or 6 inches was something like 1982...so something major has changed to stop it snowing

our dew point is now 0C and 2.6C..this is majorly borderline just when a nice intense band of snow hits the wirral.

Well it is glorious sunshine here with hardly a cloud in site, once again i get my hopes up only for them to be dashed yet again, why is it we always keep missing out on any decent snow.

its starting to get dark here. its marginal at best for us at lower levels maybe a little better for higher elevations. The beeb keep banging on about heavy snow for n ireland which is not exactly tallying with airport forecasts.

Update - PPN TYPE radar including wind direction, speed and importantly T850 temps :

Just to add Dew points are generally -1 to -2 in the region.

[louloulou1964]

i guess it really depends on your dew point and to an extent your current temps, hopefully we are going to see a cooling off again soon..one can only be hopeful.

I have a funny feeling we may get something out of tomorrow nights low pressure, it has been drifting further North on every run - you never know.

Thanks for that, looks like it is intensifying again, still loads of snow on the ground here and all frozen solid. I am sure we will get some more at our altitude.

be lovely if we did..would love to see some more snow and not just a dusting this time lol

just had another look at the radar and it seems to have intensified and slightly changed direction as if its following the north wales coast round to the wirral.

take a look at how fast this is developing

Across to Round about the Wrexham/Stoke Area another 50 Miles North and Bingo.

Have to add 24 hrs ago this Storm was not going to get pass Birmingham.

[SnowKidding]

Well temps are falling ahead of the front here which is good news, radar showing precip over me but nothing is falling yet

Temp 3c, DP -1c here 20 mins ago. Hopefully will be a little less as sunlight lessens. I'm still hopeful - latest radar looking good. Temps and DPs are going to be SO vital.
