North West England Regional Thread

[Snowmad79]

Second bout of snow here this winter. Been snowing lightly since 12 o'clock and turned to rain once and is a little sleety now. If it was heavy ppn it would defo be full on snow showers.

RE: Backtracks Snow chart..... Where the blizzards icon over Oldham ? We always do well here in a decent easterly, especially when those streamers set up

[snowingtequila]

I'd forgotten how miserable the northwest thread is, being downcast about an Easterly being forecast before it arrives! Easy to forget that on the whole the deepest snowfalls in the northwest have come from an easterly.

[iand61]

The only bit i disagree with about easterlies is Kent and the SE, they CAN get stonking amounts, there is no place i would rather be for a really low uppers easterly than the SE, and that includes anywhere in the Pennines / NE at any altitude.

I agree with your statement and TBH, they are the only part of the UK which comes close to enjoying a continental climate; hot summers and cold winters but although the synoptics for summer heat are available in most summers, apart from 2012 of course, those needed to deliver a 1987 style winter spell are few and far between.

Maybe this year will be another 1987 then we can look at deep frost whilst they dig out from huge amounts of snow.

Just on the margins here fluctuating between wet snow and sleet, albeit higher up on the 1000ft tops I would imagine the snow to be the more 'drier' kind and sticking easier from what i'm seeing poking the head out the window at the moorlands above. Temps will be dropping off soon now the sun is going down, hopefully this will help the 2'c marginality to be lowered somewhat enabling the snow-line to drop as a response.

[Neilsouth]

In this direct easterly there's less of a sea track for the showers down there. If a low pops up near to those counties then they'll be buried, but as far as I can see, light snow showers will be the limit.

hah what a load of rubbish, this is not being imbyism at all but the graph is WAY off if the charts are to be believed. I'd rather have put a question mark regarding heavy snow showers for EA and SE. I can understand this chart if it's a direct south easterly but easterlies and north easterlies no, wind shift's can make a HUGE difference.

[Backtrack]

True but we dont know the details yet, we dont know for absolute certain it happening yet but more likely than not now i would dare to suggest.

Anyway who cares. This is the north west thread! The mightiest thread on Net Weather... probably the wettest too, BUT STILL

We'll see.

[Snow free zone]

It's dry here, surprisingly. I'd be kicking myself if this was a snow event because of the radar echoes just 20 miles to my north.

But oh well, don't want any rain

Backtrack its not just rain though .... its COLD rain.

[Neilsouth]

We'll see.

I wish people would stop doing these types of charts that don't know anything about local conditions in area they don't even live in, just stick to your own area thanks

Rain and Sleet reserved to coastlines comes to mind

It was a rough chart outlining the expected weather over the period. I couldn't care less if you got nothing but rain the whole winter, no need to get all stuck up about it. I didn't post it in the SE thread, so technically I did stick to my own area.

Anyway this is the NW England thread. Last time I checked you lived in SE England.

Meow! Touchy! I do believe this is the North West thread, you have an allocated thread set up for your region don't you? Kindly jog on...

[iand61]

Still snowing here, still light and and still only a little on the ground but its still snow, just!

HAHAHAHA, mate this has made my day. Laughed hard.

Ignore it BT - His name says it all

[pip22]

Tonight I probably expect freezing rain clearing to clear skies with a touch of frost and widespread ice. Hopefully sheets of ice everywhere!! My second favourite kind of weather!!

The South East isn't the Snow Capital of the UK?!? I don't believe it!! lol

[Neilsouth]

So don't predict for other areas away from the North West then

K thanks

Going back to where I actually live now, wonder if i should do a forecast for America hmmm

To add to what i have already said my location sees far more snow in GENERAL than London for EG, but i would say that during real deep cold brutal winters / winter cold spells the SE sees the biggest positive snowfall ANOMALIES, this is because in brutal Northerlies we can still get wishboned while London can have channel lows clipping them and the three biggest Easterlies i can remember, London got battered (87,91 and 09), obviously with an average winter with the mean seasonal Jet alignment W-E, London may hardly get a look in but we can still get at least some sort of snow event.

Here's my map, several feet in the east and 1-2 feet in MOST parts of the west:

Oh the sarcasm! Chill out mate, we all want the same thing at the end of the day.

[snowjoking]

Heavy wet snow here right now.

Yeah... ok mate. So just say for instance I decided to take meteorology at university and became a presenter on TV, do you think I'd just be doing the BBC Runcorn forecasts?

No?

Didn't think so.

Away with you Alza!

Just dropped in to the NW thread but god do you have some issues lol people can put whatever charts they want on here unless you have become the chief exec of Netweather.tv - it is the weather and we are all here to enjoy or cry at the outputs in laymans terms....

Chill oot man!!
