North West England Regional Discussion 18/01/13 12z---->

[The Northern Ramper]

this is bizarre... just checked MetO and they have my region down for light snow from Saturday 9am through to Monday 3pm - now where did that overoptermistic forecast come from?

I have light snow forecast from 3pm today until 3pm Monday, probability at 60%

[Snow free zone]

Appears to be intensifying here again, bigger flakes too

Sparkle. Are you West of Leyland or between Leyland and Preston. Just shows how localised this is - next to nothing in Preston yet you and WYSIWYG both have had snow for a reasonable time under 10 miles from me too.

[Julian]

Not good news really. We may follow suit soon as temp has climbed above to 0.1C

That's amazing over the distance between me and you CC.

Currently -1.7 here.

Unless snow has blown into my sensor housing.....it is east facing

[I Cumbria Marra I]

[julie253]

Hope you're right - not much my way right now - not enough for a snowman anyway :-(

Hope we get more this afternoon - its virtually stopped now

Its just pepped up here a touch in rainford st helens no melting as of yet apart from very close to the house

[Cheshire Freeze]

The other weather station in Crewe is saying -1.1. I'm usually within .1C of this so must have snow in my sensor

[Chess01]

[V for Very Cold]

Even the flurries have stopped in Bury..

[The charts drive me insain]

Just looked at the radar and there is some bright colours in the Irish sea, is that anything to get excited about?

[SnowObsessor90]

Seems to be stopping now, are you sure this isn't it HC?

[MrSunshine]

The end.

[Backtrack]

-1.2C here, snow isn't melting, it's blowing.

Between 7-10cm here.

Come off it! In that photo you posted before looked like you'd just painted the ground white with a quick lick of Dulux paint!
