North West England Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013

[Darren Bown]

The front has stalled, but a 'stretching' effect has caught my eye looking on last 4 hours on netw radar. As it stalls the moisture looks to be stretched out. We have the heaviest snow in the country from this band, but other areas do seem to be showing a weakening.

[greybing]

Whats the snow like is west manchester?

2cm or so ....snow light at the moment........................where is this bandat the moment,any images of the latest radar.

[frosty ground]

Play the sequence on NW Extra.

Trust me it's moving slowly north East, Oldham is now in the very light stuff and it's getting slightly heavier all the time....... I doubt it will move any more north east with the intensity of the south west of our region.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Just been out onto main road and there is 6"

[Snow free zone]

light snizzle in Preston, right on the northern most limit of main band but making no further further progress north as it stands

What part of Preston are you in Nick, my wife is at home today and there's nothing there at the moment. Home is east Preston near Jn31a.

Not bad we have snow about 4cm maybe, not as much as others but at least we are in on the fun, thats all that matters.

[greybing]

Not bad. Edited January 18, 2013 by greybing

[NW_Blackburn]

So jealous of you guys in the south of our region!!! It's so close to me but won't get past Blackburn!

[The Northern Ramper]

Sickening

[MrYoung]

Still coming down heavy here. We've got about 10cm.

[UV-RAY]

Bah humbug, non event for here looks like my 3cm will have to do for another winter, Lol

Hopefully the Atlantic crashes through next week, at least it will give us a decent cover before turning to rain.

[V for Very Cold]

heavy flurries in Bury, but that's about it

[lancslad]

Temp drop from 1.1 to 0.3 very quickly and very light snow in Elswick nr Blackpool

[geri]

still pelting down in southport

[Brass_Monkeys]

5cm here still snowing albeit lighter than it was earlier. The wind has died down considerably too

[cheshire cat]

Still coming down, small flakes, seems the heavier band is just edging upto the M6 so, about 12.30 then if it doesnt stall for Alty

We have about 3cm max but swirling in the biting wind

[A.J]

new thread coming soon, so please finish off any posts...ta!

[Louise]

I've got to say, it does make a change for us. We're always the ones to miss out. And thankfully the school bus is bringing my daughter home so I don't have to brave the M6 afterall, whoop!

Flakes getting smaller...

[SparkleS]

Was snowing when i woke up, big flakes but not covering as much as it should have, but for the last two hours its non stopfine flakes and breeze and has whitened everything out! Got decentcovering now and still snowing hard.

[gearbox1001]

I just noticed we on warnings for the next 3 days so that's some snow they predicting to fall if you think about it.

[Ian Brown]

Its very slow moving when you consider it has been moderate to heavy here for over 3 hours, apparently virtually nothing at Ashbourne and thats only 25 miles East of Stoke.

[karyo]

Only light snow here for the last 30 mins.

I think the band that is over us is starting to lose intensity so we can do with another pulse coming.
