North West England Regional Discussion 23rd January 2013, 12z onwards

Temp climbed up to 3.8c, highest it's been for best part of a week.

I just cant get worked up for a snow event if its going to be followed by thaw....I have decided Im not a snow fan..im a lying snow fan......if its not going to stick...id prefer hail much more dramatic...(although not in summer it plays havoc with the veg garden)

agreed, as nice as it is too see snow falling its such a waste knowing its going to turn to rain. will look forward to the windy days anyhow

[Backtrack]

Last week NAE was garbage and now it's your fav!

Actually, it nailed every event.

[Stubbette]

Whoop, we're in the amber - just! As long as we have time to make another snowman... :-)

Indeed last week you said “NAE is a load of kackâ€

[Ian Brown]

That 06Z NAE ties in almost EXACTLY with the Met Office warning. The NAE is the model to follow right now, I'd watch it closely. Another factor to monitor is how low the temperatures can sink tonight. The lower the better.

Yes, the NAE has been excellent over the last week.

Will be interesting to see how the front develops tomorrow, clearly the METO expect a decent core of PPN in the Northern and Central part of the vertical attack. Usual rules will probably apply, you are likely to see it turn to rain quicker if you are in lowland West Lancs & Cheshire or on the Cumbrian coast.

Cant see this snow event coming off here to be honest, its now 5 degrees out there! And really mild, birds singing.

And then it nailed the events so it gained a little respect from me.

Yes indeed, they must be sticking with their own models right now, I'd still expect a decent few hours of snow even to the western coast tomorrow, as ever, time will tell!

[SparkleS]

5 ? Are you sure ?

Yep more or less 4.9 degrees

[chris78]

[SparkleS]

Lol at the Last Post!! Oh dear

[karyo]

People in the office started talking about tomorrow's snow and the weather warnings. Many of them say they will leave early or work from home!

Here we go again...

My son has a nerf gun if the birds are annoying you?

[Liam J]

Clouded over again from the west ahead of the advancing weather front, temp fallen slightly 2.7c.

[dodge]

can't see it being cold enough for any decent snow tomorrow - temperatures haven't been as cold overnight as I thought they would have been due to cloud cover. Don't know if there is any sufficient warming due ahead of the front? This also raises temps even more and you'll be lucky to even see sleet then.

[Liam J]

Cloud cover will once gain limit how far the temperatures can fall tonight plus an ever increasing wind not helping.
