North West Of England Regional Discussion - Part 7

[Cheshire Freeze]

Mainly compacted ice (frozen/melted/refrozen) but around 5cm across lower levels with still 10cm on the higher slopes above 1000ft. I was hoping this current lot would melt away as there's nothing worse than venturing outside on already iced-over ground with fresh snowfall on top, it makes walking up and down the steep slopes 'interesting' to say.

Hahaha 5cm......that's Crewe's equivalent to your half metre!

all one can say, is lets really hope for the best tonight maybe we'll see something we have not since since early december

5cm? i got nothing last saturday the snow was 25/30 miles inland, we had freezing rain mate, all day and night after a brief 5 min powder snow which stopped

i meant the bit were you said "and having just 1 tiny wet snow event at the start of december is really really bad even for here." i can remember you saying you had 5cm

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

yeah them snow cans came in usefull after all

Id say it was closer to half a cm at best..it just barely dusted the roads and plants, you had more snow than we did last saturday lol

[weatherobsuk]

rofl, if the next 12-24hr charts are to be believed most if not nearly all of the northwest could see anything up to half a meter (well 25cm) from this quasi-stationary front. We've just got to see what the forcing mechanism will be that ensures all that precip gets from 'up there' to 'down here.' But exciting times and I would imagine the MetO are playing catch up right now in determining output and getting the warnings down.

I have reports from a friend in Oldham/Rochdale and the roads and pavements are turning quickly to ice rinks!

[HotCuppa]

I think you got me mixed up with someone else i have never said said i had that much snow ...chance would be a fine thing to have 5cm of snow lol

[Cheshire Freeze]

Nothing imminently wintry here be it freezing rain or snow. Temps far too high as they have climbed to around 2C

[pip22]

[Cheshire Freeze]

He's probably thinking of Bactrack lol........he's well known for his size over estimations

[Bartlett Low]

Temp showing as -1 on my phone, which means nothing as the Manchester reading is taken from Woodford which is (a) rural & (B) miles away. I would estimate +1 or 2. No ice.
