North West England Cold Spell Discussion 2

[M'Lady]

As dearest Shuggee has said before... 'Please use this thread to have a good old chat about the prospects for something wintry in north west England.'

And, as so many others have said through the years... "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"

Oh, and just a little reminder, while the servers are stressing, can we continue putting our locations in our posts. Thank you

M'Lady in wintry (at minus 0.3c) Waterloo.

<BR>The 19:00 hours radar is very good news!<BR>It clearly shows the stream of showers from Yorkshire heading for our region. I don't think they will have a problem crossing the Pennines.<BR><BR><A class=bbc_url title="External link" href="http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/" rel="nofollow external">http://www.metoffice...ather/uk/radar/</A><BR><BR>Karyo<BR>

-1.5c in North West Manchester. I think that snow shower you mentioned Karyo has just hit.

[frostbitten]

Just started snowing here lightly in Whiston near St. helens. :lol:

I am in city centre. The snow shower passed very quickly from here not adding to anything really.

Waiting for more!

It looks as though the Manchester area could end up with quite a decent covering tonight looking at the radar. My showers seem to have more hills to pass over and are dumping most of the snow on the Skipton/Clitheroe area.

[V for Very Cold]

just returned from a trip over the tops to yorkshire and there is plenty of snow around :blink: Although the eastern side has a fair covering, once you get to Saddleworth and down towards Rochdale the flurries are now turning into decent bursts of prolonged heavier snowfalls, and there is a strong wind driving it all too. A few days of this and the area with look very festive indeed

just looking at the motorway webcams, the only ones showing much are the M62, mainly Leeds side

This cam is closest to my area its the M60 at chadderton :

The two cams between Jctn 21/22 M62 Rishworth Moor are always worth keeping an eye on. Winds are always strong up that way, and if the snows heavy it could drift off the surrounding hills. Don't think it has been closed yet due to heavy snowfall though? I could be wrong.

[Dingwantssnow]

Well its been falling again in Dukinfield for past 10 min.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

Around 2cm here now from the occasional heavy short showers passing through.

Temp well below freezing and i cant see it getting much above it for 3 or 4 days.

[HotCuppa]

its slowly beginning to warm up in the south of the region, perhaps a warm sector of air is here. We got down to -1.3C and now its risen in the past hour to 1C dew point is very low -4.6C

The showers seem to be confined to North Liverpool / Southport / Blackpool way..Just seen it snowing at Goodison Park. Maybe we'll get something this evening in the south of the region but I am far from hopeful its pretty much dry, no sign of any precipitation and to make matters worse as described above the temp has climbed a tad.

[Thunder Snow]

Looks like quite a few showers are making it west.

[ian34]

snowing again here in wigan but the showers are quite sporadic

[Weather-history]

Once again forecasts underestimated the penetration of the showers when we get this type of airflow.

[John_T]

-1.9c in West Manchester with light snow showers.
