A few grains here at the moment but nothing to write home about

[Liam J]

Where did all that come from!?

[greybing]

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

I sympathise,whenever a certain temperature is predicted I add 2 degrees because it is always,without fail, warmer where i am at my very low elevation.Where i am im 0.3 cooler so 3c....really relatively balmy Edited January 17, 2013 by greybing

I'm stood in a shelter nr st annes pier looking out to sea waiting for snow now! God I feel like a snow junky! Grains falling. Very grey across the Irish Sea.

Quite clear to see this is a significant upgrade in snowfall potential for the whole region by the GFS!

Lets hope this trend continues!

Well i am in the Isle of Man and if those precipitation charts are right we are in for a right snowy day tomorrow!!!

If it verifies who gives a crap!

[johnwirral]

Very light snow in Warrington, a few sprinkles on the grass. Hopefully this is the taster before the main course...

If it verifies who gives a crap!

It's radar data so it's already verified in its current place - just need it to keep its intensity and head east

[Liam J]

Well i am in the Isle of Man and if those precipitation charts are right we are in for a right snowy day tomorrow!!!

Well I suggest you do a snow dance and pray that future runs maintain or upgrade the potential further

[snowdrifter]

Yea i meant come this way soz!

[Alex95]

If it verifies who gives a crap!

It already has that's the radar!

[wysiwyg]

Interestingly the 12Z GFS further out seems to be getting its head round the idea that this cold block is not going anywhere in the near future. Up to now we've had successive GFS runs predicting a breakdown at around T+120. Already out to T+180 and no real sign of the atlantic returning
