Not a chance.

A snowy day here so far, got accumulation of a couple of cm, perhaps more but difficult to tell with the wind blowing the snow about.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Wow this is insanely heavy!

You used to be on the model thread did'dnt you, respected your opinion, beginning to think this is not going to be heavy now and my worries about getting a weeks frozen food in and having a power cut look unfounded - thinking of going Oldham. What do you make of the ECM and Ens, still no support from GEFS.

Wow this is insanely heavy!

Heavy here but unfortunately not insanely so!

It's torrential! Comparable to a couple of weeks ago

[Interitus]

Still big flakes in south Warrington but the first sounds of ice pellets as well, the beginning of the end. Despite bucketing down most of the morning, it never covered paths/roads/roofs just a degree or so too warm.

Yeah, the radar shows nicely the heavier ball of PPN about 10-15 miles south of here. Temp & DP rising, currently +0.8C with a DP of +0.9C.

Hi, yeah used to be a regular up until a couple of years ago or so. The ECM seems fairly convinced we're heading into another rather cold spell of weather, although I don't see anything particularly notable on the horizon at this stage. GFS isn't interested at all and from experience we do need to see all models showing a similar outcome to have any confidence. The 12z runs later could be quite decisive I feel as to where we're headed.

[The Yellow Snowman]

And then suddenly it started sleeting. Oh, and now back to big fat juicy flakes. The end is nigh I think though here!

2 inches here in deep bits. Still falling moderately.

[Chess01]

Heaviest snow all day in stoke . Roads covered . This winter has seen alot of snow fall but not much to stick . The 18th if jan event was great however half the stuff blew about if it was straight snow we could have had a serios amount
