Hence the newly purchased sledges to be used as riot shields to protect against spat out dummies and toys being hurled out of prams!!!

[upgrader]

Temp 1.6C

DP -1.5C

Humidity 80%

Few flakes here in Stockport......looking good for later

[snowdrifter]

Snowing bits off wet dandruff in blackpool. This feels so crap its unbelievable

[Bartlett Low]

That's better!

[JL23]

Latest GFS gives the North West an upgrade by the looks of things -3c max tommorow brrr!!

[wysiwyg]

12Z GFS is pretty much as the 6Z was out to 24 hours - definitely at odds with the current METO thinking!

Some chance of snow for later this evening too by the looks of things.

[Cheshire Freeze]

12z GFS.......snowtastic!

[sal007]

Don't know how reliable it is, but the 12z Precipitation Type charts show some decent precip over the entire NW from approx midday onwards (from the run thats viewable so far)?

[SparkleS]

Is leyland the only place with the warmest temps at the mo, 3.3 here!

[cfallon]

It does yes

Do tell? What's changed?

I doubt that, the only flake we'll see in Stockport is of the Cadburys variety

[Cheshire Freeze]

NMM 6z was another slight upgrade btw

[HotCuppa]

Never getting my hopes up over snowfall ever again.

you have made absolutely no contribution except almost the same thing each time..

[Backtrack]

Wow 12z upgrage! FANTASTIC!!!!

[Joe Bloggs]

12z GFS is quite good. I tend to rate it's rainfall projections

[UV-RAY]

GFS says yes!!!!!

At this range it's far better than the NAE, looking an all snow event for us all in the NW.

Have some faith

We will get plastered tomorrow.

[HotCuppa]

continuation of the 06z and the 12z is more realistic with its data

[wysiwyg]

Jeez that 12Z is a massive upgrade compared to the 0Z and 6Z runs - just shows how flippy floppy these darn NWP models are - give them a volatile situation to deal with and they go haywire!!!!

at least the 12z is a lot more reliable

[Liam J]

12z looks like an upgrade with ppn getting into central/southern Scotland
