North West England Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013

[Chris.R]

Showing no sign of easing off here, small flakes are accumulating all the time.

[Cheshire Freeze]

I tell you what you know this stalling might not be great for me but it could mean you see one of your biggest ever falls - Good luck!!

Already exceeded 2010 levels I think

[Simon_]

Pepping up in Stockport now as the front slowly struggles to advance towards us!

[Andrew Owens]

Coming down pretty heavy again in Thelwall, probably the heaviest it's been all morning. SUPERB!!!!

[UV-RAY]

Well even if I don't get anymore snow the 3cm I have makes it the third biggest fall of snow in the last 4 years.

[HotCuppa]

i thought it would inject more energy and it has

[Oakwell]

Still snowing heavily, currently have 2cm of snow, temp dropped to -0.8C , snow blowing off the roof now!

[HotCuppa]

love the way the temps have dropped in some cases like mine from 1.3C to -2.1C under the snow cover , dp only starting to respond now

its raw in this se wind, feels like -15C or more in this wind..fingers numb after a minute or two outside.

I live in Macc as well so do you think we will get any more or just the light stuff so far.

If it can continue creeping north east we should get into the heavier snow. Can't see it stopping anytime soon.

[weatherobsuk]

Looking to the south there's even more yet to come from the Stoke-on-Trent direction. Infact the front hasn't even cleared the SW yet.

[summer fun]

Still snowing in Blackpool, but not as heavy think the band might be moving south now.

I just sent a strong worded tweet to metoffice

Im not sure you can blame the met office, merseyside is in the amber warning which = 10cm which was issued 24 hours ago so well forecasted TBH.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Saying?

how discusted i am that the warnings and the forcast all contradicted what is happening

[Waterspout]

Getting Heavier again now, near Sandbach. Don't know if any of you are looking at the Radar (!) LOL ;-| but those Heavier echoes just to our South, appear to me to be moving North now. It's easy to trick yourself looking at the Radar frames, but I'm sure that heavier pulse is going to pivot Northward over the next few hours over us. (Well me at least LOL)

[feb1991blizzard]

I know, about 11 miles from me.

[Andrew Owens]

How long do we think this will last for Cheshire/Merseyside? Looks like there is defo a number of hours left.
