Quote from Ian F from Mod thread... promising for warnings to be released this morning for parts of N!

Can't see where he wrote that.

Three words will typify this. "North Weat England" :-)

I must visit this North Weat England!!

Re snow sticking: ground temperatures are good, it should have no problem sticking

it will readily turn to snow as it comes inland later on Tuesday, spreading into Wales along with central and northern England overnight. The snow is likely to accumulate easily, given the cold ground surfaces.

 

Now that I like.

Chief forecasters statement in the warning....

Details remain uncertain regarding the extent and amount of snowfall, in particular the northward extent of snowfall into northern England (indeed some areas may miss the snow altogether). Therefore it is likely that this warning will be updated in the light of new information and may be upgraded to Amber should confidence increase sufficiently.

In other words some people will get a snowfest, but east Manchester will miss out.

Merseyside and haltin both have yellow warnings. :( shud it not be amber if their forcasting 12+hrs of snow

Don't be greedy, I have no snow forecast, just dark clouds.

JEALOUS!

You are never happy! Are the prospects of 8-15cm of snow not good enough?!

Chief forecaster says IT may be updated again later.

Also, emphasises WESTERNMOST areas. This bodes well for coastal areas, suggesting they aren't expecting marginality.

Again, read the warning. And read what I put before the warning was issued

Emphasis on no marginality and snow sticking easily due to cold ground temperatures. It's frozen, the front is also coming at a cold time of day.

Yes that was the bit that got me interested too  (no mention of sleet, snow or wintry mixes anywhere).......but for us Preston, leyland etc, its touch and go whether we are too far north...that would be a real killer, it not being marginal but not getting to us.

We have a better chance than any in northwest having the heaviest snowfall, again it might not get as far north as us ( I doubt that though well at least see something) it shall be a slight roller coaster tonight but the MetO is on it with us, they don't know the places that will be worse affected ( better affected IMO) trust me that's quite a good sign :)

That'll be it, just like a few years back.  Will just have to wait and see but i'm not expecting much of it to get north of Wigan.

I personally think it will, it's not much to go by but the winds in your favour at least, East of manchester will be the hardest part to call I think.
