Back in the game

Someone please explain this image and how heavy snows is modelled to West, South and East of the general greater manchester area ?

[Storm Animal]

Hey man,for once oldham gets less than us,I hope it perks up for you.

Aye.

Every dog has its day......so they say!! lol. Im not that downbeat coz still a good few cm covering in place since Monday, it would have been worse if we were completely snowless

[LiverBird]

It's been snowing here near Liverpool Airport all day although the flakes are small now and not adding much to the lying snow. We've got a good covering and it's been lovely to watch! Had a photo to upload to back up Backtrack but can't remember how to attach it!

[MrSunshine]

judging from the picture backtrack uploaded, should be good for you

You'll probably beat his 2cm's!

[Walkinglad2013]

Went through the calderdale area on the train this morning - loads of snow

[MrSunshine]

Wind is picking up blowing snow off roofs!

[Munchermark]

I honestly cant see how we're gonna end up with snow, dry as a bone atm

I have to say ,even for here 2cm of patchy snow cover is pretty bad.......usually get more than this but hey ,it's better than nowt.

[Cheshire Freeze]

This all looks to be fragmenting quite severely now. Can't see much more falling for anyone

score! quite blowy now, snows fine but its settling nicely

[Storm Animal]

This pretty much sums it up......even the "experts" can't call it!! http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1598498_snow-idea-met-office-forecasters-change-mind-for-third-time-and-reinstate-amber-snow-alert

yes decaying now and will start to pull away back to the west,mostly dry over the weekend but staying very cold

[annamb]

Now in search of the next snow event......

Just popped in to the model discussion thread and there's talk of another snow event Sunday/Monday.

Good stuff seems to want to push everything northwards now so people who missed out this morning will at least see a spell of light/moderate snow.

[martinj2]

Some stuff over Angelesy intensifying, we might get some of that. I wouldn't bet against another heavy blast within the hour

[cheshire cat]

skys are darkening again and fine stuff starting again, interesting day

[SummerNSnow]

What about me ???? Anyone

Oh, it's all about you!

[itsnowjoke]

Right good luck all doing my head in im off

The whole front has pivoted since this morning, lying more W-E now compared to NW-SE. This has had the effect of weakening the band. That stuff in Wales won't touch us as the energy is pulling back in that direction. The flow wants to pull the system north but the energy wants to go west, hence the weakening on the northern flank over us.

[itsnowjoke]

Oh, it's all about you!

just asking but im not bothered now im off

[summer fun]

What are the chances of the band of heavier ppn over n wales making it into the north west, just kind of sat there for the last hour?.

[SummerNSnow]

just asking but im not bothered now im off

Hey! I'm joking! I'm sick as a chip too!
