I do think the Met's one step down from a national emergency level 3 severe cold weather warning is a tad OTT. Doesn't even look all that cold tbh, we've had much worse!

My weather app is putting sleet rather than heavy snow earlier. meh. :(

 

The only hope now is hail to stick to the ground or evaporative cooling.

 

Lets just wait and see shall we?

Like I said though nw airflows don't have a general rule, though the general rule of nw flows this Jan have been wintry rather than snowy.

Models aren't showing snow for you over next 48 hours so not sure why you think otherwise

Well thank god someone has seen the light with the third line, here

Get hung up on these weather app predictions. Jeez. I remember the CEEFAX 5 days symbols what a joke they were.

Let's wait and see what happens. It's all about radar watching and at the time.

We don't though, TYPICALLY, we CAN be one of the snowiest! Get a cold NW'erly and we have our very own North Sea. Cornwall, Devon, S Wales, all worse off.

Our local "North Sea" actually reduces the showers.

True it was a westerly but look at the last couple of days where Ireland was getting pasted but the showers then died over the stretch of water which was supposed to enhance them.

Yes North Westerly's can bring snow but temperatures are more than likely the wrong side of marginal so we end up with sleet or a slushy wet mix at best.

Northerly's bring the cold but showers stay off shore like they are frightened of dry land.

Lets face it, late December 09 into January 10 was a snow fest for much of this region and the snow stuck around but that was an exceptional period and certainly hasn't been repeated much since.

And me saying that we do poor for snow is on the back of living in the highest and probably snowiest town in Lancashire so I'm sure that folks lower down and closer to the coast must think that we do poorly compared to other parts of the UK.

Frontal snow and a long feed easterly are best for me and both have been as rare as hens teeth over recent winters but lets see what the next few days bring and I'm certainly happy to be proved wrong.

Agreed... My MetO app had me down for rain shower yesterday morning.. Yet it was snowing. Time to delete me thinks.

Also, I'm seeing some negativity creeping into this forum. a couple of knee jerk reactions in the Mod thread and chaos follows. I'm pretty sure some members actually enjoy being negative.

The met app is very good but not perfect...... temperatures have gone up by 2 degrees and snow has turned to rain..... of course it may change back but I haven't See such a broad change this close in.....

Next update will be about 10

I looked up the ratings and reviews for that Met Office app on my istore. For such a distinguished institution, it's not highly rated that app. I would have expected at least 4 out of 5 stars, only 2 and a half stars by reviewers,

The BBC weather app gets 4.5 stars, over 7000 reviews on the Apple app store.
