North West England Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013

[Darren Bown]

Beeb forecast yesterday said at 8am should be on the doorstep or London, which it is, but only just reaching N Wales with a good few hours twilit got here. That to me verifies the northward extent of this front.

Promised the kids we would be able to build a snow man today. Will we get enough in Warrington area to do that?

Moderate-Heavy snow here in Sandbach but not stickibng on the roads yet.

[Brass_Monkeys]

I take it the main band should get to us now right?

It'd be devastating if it didn't after seeing how close it is on the radar.

I wouldn't like to say for certain but the snow is getting heavier and the band is still making progress. Looking good atm

[Oakwell]

8am radar has the band still heading our way!

[seasider]

Just started light snowing here on the Fylde coast.

NOt according to the BBC, but yes according to lamp column forecast!! Looks good at the moment

[Rainmaker]

Hope so, only found this site recently and having always loved snow its brilliant! Always had an interest in meteorology when I was younger so will fast become an addict I think soon. Starting to pick up a bit now.

[Louise]

We're a fair way under the band of precip here in Weston near Crewe, but it's just light to fair, with small flakes. I couldn't even class it as moderate. It was heavier in Nantwich about five miles North when I went on the school run an hour ago.

[ItIsGee]
