Sound then I'll go

Only joking, I'm not hyping this up though, I hate snow to rain events, it's a waste, but yeah we'll get some

[SummerNSnow]

Afternoon folks, whats happening? I'm not excited about the snowforecast, just can't see it being the snowfest they are forecasting

I feel exactly the same Jan.

[MrSunshine]

Just had a Tweet off Wigan Council said their gritters are going to be out on the roads from 6pm & through out the night.

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

snow to rain again!does nothing for me but will be nice to see snow falling.

have to say its been a dreadful winter round here for snow,nothing in dec very little in jan and zilch in feb,added to that we were awfully unlucky in jan and awfully unlucky on sunday,im personally ready for spring summer now,winter 2012/13 was imo,woeful.

12z NMM has upgraded snow potential for the entire region. It now arrives 4 hours earlier, and stays as snow pretty much throughout the entire event.

I think you're getting your hopes up a bit too much, we'll probably see 1-2 hrs of snow then it will quickly turn to sleet and rain, seen these scenarios forecast all too often before, but away from high ground it mostly ends up as rain, especially when it pushes through in daylight hours

[Backtrack]

PPN is looking much healthier too, surely this can't be a repeat of the last battleground!? NMM has a cracking event for us all, coast included!

[itsnowjoke]

8am.

shame its not tonight but hey ho

Doubt the NMM will be wrong at this range tbh!

NMM had us all for snow yesterday event. but thistime uppers temps and dps are all lower than what is needed for snow.

temps will be -2 when it hits and obv dps will be same or lower

[Weather-history]

Talk about how bad or how woeful this winter has been, the winter index is 69 at the moment. Which is OK and better then many of the winters from 1988 to 2008 inclusive when a good few were around the 40 and a handful below 30.

[Backtrack]

Here's a few from the NMM, it'll last 8am till 4pm if this verified.

[itsnowjoke]

My temp has just dropped in the couple of hours from 2c to 0c??

[chicken soup]

Cheers for those bt, is the nae showing the same.

[gareth73]

Now it's 2.2c and still falling!
