Forgive me, beginner here. The 12Z seems like a bit of hope for us, but when will we get any other charts this evening to confirm or dismiss this, if at all??

Lordy! - raintoday radar has Manc in a sandwich! West to East ppn - interesting convergence...

I was looking at that and wondering where the hell it would go when it met - will it go east or west or get squeezed up north?

[The snowman]

Yep me too- it's still raining! Anyone else around the Crosby bootle Liverpool area seeing snow or is it rain too?

The current band is caused by the instability where the two competing air masses (warm to the W and cold to the E) are starting to mix together as the warm air tries to push into the cold air - this was mentioned on the NetWeather forecast yesterday i think

Which is why their guesses for tomorrow will almost certainly turn out to be bolleaux and we will get loads of luvverly snow!!!

[frankie01]

stopped here now, hopefully a wee taster!!!! im feeling a bit more confident about tomorrow now.

[Iceaxecrampon]

The deepest snow I've ever seen was when I was out hiking near Glenridding in March a few years ago, there was nothing at sea level but it was thigh deep above 500m! I've noticed Grasmere still has lying snow, so I'll head down there on Saturday if Keswick is still snowless.

Yes - not a sausage in Keswick the snowline was high (ish) on Skiddaw - Grasmere looked unbelievable.....
