North West England - Weather Chat

[itsnowjoke]

The slight covering has thawed

5.5C and virtually all of our lying snow has now gone.

well fed up

[cheshire snow]

Yes one to watch the Met O wouldn't have put a warning up for the whole region for the fun of it.

 

Yes thanks been really poor here so far, even though I'm used to it It's still incredibly frustrating. I despair when people who get far more still moan. Glad you finally got some, sounded fun late last night, can't believe how late some people stayed up.

 

 indeed

 

 paying for it now though,could not resist missing the holy grail (PL)

 Been very lucky here at 59m asl

 Lets hope there are more snow opportunities for everyone

Yep, nearly all of our covering has thawed now. Id rather it do that that linger about as brown slush for the next week.

Usual tabloids saying Armageddon here ,anyway back home Sunday ...

[Day 10]

Those new warnings are mainly for ice...snow reserved for coastal regions....next proper snow chance will be mon tue, unless of course another polar low pops out of nowhere.

Are they? From the Met for Sat

Further sleet and snow showers will affect parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland from Saturday morning,with snow falling to lower levels and extending further south through the day.This will lead to some large accumulations on high ground, with some settling at low levels too.These will be associated with strong winds (gusts 50-60 mph across northwest Scotland) so drifting and temporary blizzard conditions are likely.Some longer spells of sleet and snow are also possible, especially across the high ground of Scotland and northeast England.The public should be aware of the potential for disruption from these conditions.This warning will be kept under review and  updated as and when necessary.This is an update to bring forward the start time of the warning and extend the area southwards.

Following a temporary less cold period on Friday and into Saturday morning,a very cold airmass will spread southwards across Scotland and Northern Ireland accompanied by strong winds,spreading southwards into northern England and north Wales later in the day.

Frequent showers are likely to form in this airmass, and with the cold air snow is likely to accumulate, even to low levels in places.

Two centimetres that have now gone. Have you been to Teide?

[captaincroc]

Looking at the models it looks like the conditions are favourable for snow from later this evening and overnight, but the MO seem to think from Saturday day onwards.  I hope they are wrong even though I feel they will be correct! lol

Your not on virgin media by any chance? Lol oh no your on hols arent you. Was just saying cause internets been down here over two hours!

[Barmada Casten]

Maybe the odd snow shower feeding into NW England over the next 4/5 days, however nothing too significant (away from the usual suspects on high ground of course.)

 

Last night was 'our' night its fair too say, and it proved to be another anti-climax for many of us.

[itsnowjoke]

Ive actually had more snow here from and easterly than I had over the last past few days at least I managed to build a snowman from an easterly I could not even make a snowball from the slush I got and too look outside now you would not even known that it had snowed until I glance over to the hills and I see white .

Most fed up will definitely not be getting my hopes up again or the childrens.

Today has been rapid thaw day, just got back in after work and 3in of lying snow this morning is disappearing quickly.  Could have done with skipping today and gone straight to Saturday because temps are going to get much lower and the snow would have held for longer.

[tfin]

Pretty intense band of hail and snizzle just passing over now. 

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

With less moderation from the Irish sea, it could be snow. But the problem is there will be less energy in the system due to its long track over land.

Wow! Heavy?
