North West England Cold Spell Discussion 2

[SP1986]

Not to worry, our westness will give us good snow showers tomorrow

[Solar Cycles]

Aside from Cumbria Wirral (especially west Wirral) is the most westerly point in the region, humbug, rain it is!

What would you rate your chances for tomorrow Stephen?

[John_T]

-7.5c last night!! Currently -6.6c.

[SP1986]

Tomorrow pretty good, mught be a bit mariginal with temperatures at 2-3C but it should deliver

[SP1986]

[Never snows where i live]

Watching it in 3D so thats why we're going to manchester.

[Dingwantssnow]

You think snow wont reach manchester tomorrow?

[SP1986]

Ahhh, no snow for you then I'm sure youll see some before you go

[Never snows where i live]

You think snow wont reach manchester tomorrow?

I don't mind to be honest...

[Darren Bown]

A NW feed will bring snow here, it usually does, just later on than the coast.

[SP1986]

I dont think so, I suppose Manchester could get one or two flurries, but then again Greater Manchester could benefit, particularly the southern areas

I have the warmest temperature in the entire region now! -0.5C currently

[Dingwantssnow]

LOL your kidding?? In the space of a day i have gone from snow today to sleet/rain today and now sunday doesnt look like ill get anything i give up damn you weather gods

[Darren Bown]

I don't think I remember a NW flow where I haven't seen snow, last time a setup was like this was Xmas day I think in 2005 where it was a white Christmas with around 2 inches of snow falling in a couple of hours!

[cheshire snow]

Latest from Alex Deakin on the bbc said for today for NW england away from the coast

That front due in the region about 1800

For Sunday heavey snow showers feeding through the cheshire gap

And quote we are keeping a close eye on the situation

BTW Current temp at Mn Airport is -4c with a DP -5

Areas affected most Greater Manchester,Liverpool,CHESHIRE,N Wales,Derbyshire

The 6z gfs has increased the extend of the warm sector even more! I think this evening's weather front will be a disappointment for many areas apart from the high ground.

Tommorow is looking good but as we have to rely on showers,they can be hit and miss.

Well its already going to go buggery ho here as Im the first one in central England to reach above 0C currently 0.1C and the dewpoint is following close behind so rain is assured!

[cheshire cat]

MornIng NW'rs, from the latest BBC forecast

Looks like the M6 is a rough guide for Saturdays rain/snow line.

Sunday looks good from about 12 onwards for a solid spell upto late evening for all areas, poss not much further south than Knutsford

[les1234]

still got -2c here was down to -6c when i was on my way home from work in Liverpool about two hours ago.

Morning CC

The more southern areas of the region would catch most of those snow Showers with a NW wind

Cheshire Gap effect will come into play Sunday as for this evening i guess its eyes to the sky and see

What falls

Do you have a westerly flow already?

[Dingwantssnow]

Well im in work in Irlam. Felt cold on the way in just been out for a ciggy and it actually felt abit colder??? Im see clouds rolling in from the west coast, no doubt these will warm the temps abit.

Maybe clutching at straws here but if that front doesnt arrive untill 18:00 temps might possibly be low enough for snow??

[V for Very Cold]

well there appears to be a lot of doom and gloom this morning and I'm not entirely sure why as it's still -2^oC, there are the beginnings of some cloud cover over the moors and certainly the forecast for here is a slight upgrade over the next 48-60 hours rather than the downgrades being bandied about

chins up and lets see what comes :lol:

[Snow free zone]

I think it looks ok for the whole region tomorrow not just the South of the area. We never fail to get showers out of a NW airflow here, but going on what has happened up to now we will probably be avoided tomorrow For the people in the West of the region tonight, look at what the weather is doing in Lancaster/Morecambe area. Its a safe bet if it snows there then it will be snowing up to the coast down here. Looking at the radar on rain today though i think this represents what will happen tonight here. Snow inland, sleety mix towards the coast.
