Just over the border it's bucketing down with snow, I have 12cm's already, sky looks full of it too.

People like you are why I don't come on here a lot. Temps and dew points with not bring a thaw. Be quiet if you don't have anything decent to say. Yawn!

METEOX forward (Next 3hrs) has it coming back from the West......

I was about to say, looking at the radar, looks to be some rotation on the western, southern most edge - suggesting possible shunt back westwards....

How reliable is that?

Snow still coming down in Preston, though Radar now shows Sleet for our area.

Slow thaw also started on cars.

[Munchermark]

Surely theres no way of that coming back the other way

It's thawing rapidly when the intensity of the precipitation ceases. We've had no bone chilling nights so that won't help as the base isn't properly frozen

Just looked at that! Anyone else confirm this or is it a glitch?

Uhh, yes they will?

1.1C here and it's melting..

Well its not rocket science, its going to hit the block that is in place over the North East.

Worst radar going, it'll not come back west..

[NickyB]

Temp rising here now and the snow is very wet on the ground. Reckon a lot of this will melt this afternoon.

Would that bring higher temps with it though. If so I'd rather keep my snow than get it washed away - marginal enough here! If not - wow that would be 2 Christmasses in one.

Surely it won't turn back and come at us from the west. That would be completely insane!

No it won't,where are people getting this idea from?

[R.P. McMurphy]

I know what your doing there.

[Brass_Monkeys]

Certainly a slight thaw taking place with snow falling from the trees and sliding of the cars with the temp still rising and at 1.7C now.

Still have light snow falling but not sure for how much longer looking at the radar?

Am afrad of that myself CP. Just want to be able to play with the kids about 4 o'clock. Be gutted if its all horrible by then. Can't really complain though I guess!!

[Cheshire Freeze]

Temperatures have been repeatedly underestimated. No idea why/how. What's noticeable about this cold spell is lack severe frosts/cold. Has made lying snow for any extended period quite impossible away from elevated ground.

The NMM does show a band of precip moving North East from Wales into the North West. nothing heavy, maybe a dusting.

Steady. No need for that. We are friends here

[R.P. McMurphy]

Guys, chill out, it's a weather forum stop crying like some sissy girls.

Anyways, just been checking my radar from Weather Pro and ran it back and forth, METEOX might just be right, there is a swirl and westward trend - I can see it with the PPN in Wales - its already started to come back West

[Splishnchips]

Steady big ish flakes near the fylde coast, temp down to 1.4 from 1.7
