North West Cold Spell Discussion

[Weather-history]

Have you noticed the path they are taking?

They're going WNW. Most of them are going to hit me. We need it, these should be well deserved!!

Yes and slowly at that.

FAX charts for Christmas Eve look very interesting for our region

Midnight: trough coming into the south

Looking good,

although Christmas day looks to have maximums of 4c. Christmas eve only looks to be 0c at night. Any snow could rapidly melt.

Snow is snow though, so I hope it comes off.

Looks like another pasting is coming towards the Manchester area and those before it!

Good lucky everyone and I want pics!!!!

screen grab from radar shot!

[John_T]

Just started snowing.

[Craigers]

does any one think these showers will push inland?

They have hit west Manchester.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Not to Doncaster I'd have thought.

[V for Very Cold]

woke up to an extra 2cm of fresh snow, settled on what has become rather thick ice. Wasn;t holdig out much hope, but about 10 mins ago, more fresh snow falling, large-sih falke (~1cm) and nice and steady - should make the drive to Fleetwood interesting lol

[Craigers]

Not to Doncaster I'd have thought.

be nice if it did! if they keep gaining intensity then it will be like a repeat event of sunday!

[Backtrack]

Nothing falling here, looks like they are all going to miss me

Persistant, steady snow in Horwich since about 7am.

[M'Lady]

Nothing falling here, looks like they are all going to miss me :lol:

That's a shame.

We've had hail and thunder so far this morning.... very festive. Bah.

[Liam J]

freezing fog moved in here, temp at -0.4 with very small icicles

[ItIsGee]

The edge of the showers is in sight and I am prepping for a lovely shower! should last a bit!

I reckon they will pass North of you

[ItIsGee]

Its now snowing in Didsbury

[martinj2]

I reckon they will pass North of you

Hang on-it's trying to snow here in Liverpool City Centre!-my god it IS-huge flakes

[trickydicky]

Am I the only one here who would prefer that weather system to track south on xmas eve? That way we are kept in cold here, keep our snow cover longer and would get some impressive night time minimums. Surely thats better than some sleety muck that will raise temps and eventually melt all our snow. Just a thought.

They passed west of me and fell in widnes instead.

Next shower looks like it will defo hit here, but temps have just hit 1.0c. It better hurry up!!

[martinj2]

Widnes?.....you've gotta admire the bravery of that snow!

[toccylad]

heavy snow mossley hill liverpool

[Maz]

Steady continuous snow in Summerseat for the last hour or so.

Glad I decided against trying the commute to Lancaster, its very festive watching the snow.

4th snow "event" since Thursday night and just a bit of melt in Saturdays warm sector.

Snow, on snow, on snow....

[Backtrack]

Looks like it's game over here, none of these showers will hit here.
