North West England - Weather Chat

[Spah1]

The centre of that polar low seems too far west to affect us after this band moving in now?

Just like the MO said

[HotCuppa]

Liverpool winter heat shield in full force, not sure how it got this far east though haha

[i luv snow]

Yes. Set to track south wales and south west england.

 

I felt this would happen.

 

But it isn't?! arrghhh

 

The low is heading that way, but the ppn associated with it, on its eastern flank, is very much (at the moment anyway) heading in our direction!

Huge flakes now.

[Brass_Monkeys]

Just up the road fr St.helens and now have snow falling, moderately.

**Edit- heavy snow

[Spah1]

Wet snow

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

cant be that close to estuary because we just had light drizzle, which turned into heavy rain and its just stopped

just past the m62 opposite side to you. Right behind the dream.

[ian34]

Just go to show how quickly things can change

Snowing in Ormskirk West Lancs

[Darren Bown]

Is the stuff over N Ireland due to head east? Can see the lo in N Ireland now.

[HotCuppa]

But it isn't?! arrghhh

correct it will move over us, not sure where he got that erroneous information from.

[Will Padz]

I'm less worried about the ppn, more what it will fall as

haha the difference is staggering where it is snowing and where it dry or raining. to my east in Widnes about 1km its snowing, across in runcorn snowing, apparently in woolton its snowing, and a couple of other places dry to 

[SMU]

Orange sky to west.... More? Yes please....

 

Hi Will Ive sent you a PM

 

I think you will see 20/ 25 inches this week

[Will Padz]

If only! Amazing if it did.....

[Spah1]

Heavy wet snow

[HotCuppa]

not sure what to make of that picture, is that snow , sleet or rain?

[Darren Bown]

It's just covered everything here, all wet surfaces now with a dusting. Falling as tiny flakes, but it's sticking to everything.

[sal007]

nothing happening in preston.... just really light rain at the mo... radar shows we should be getting something heavier any min now..?

it was sleaty here first but then evap cooling took over which i suspected it would. Looks like the pivot has started also. Cant see more coming as such but shud blow up as it nears

[Day 10]

Heading this way and intensifying

 

 

[damianslaw]

According to the radar we should have precipitation - yet there is nothing falling from the sky. Temps have risen a degree over the last hour - a tell tale sign precipitation isn't far away. Currently sty at 0.7 degrees.

 

Thanks to yesterday's and todays snow falls, number of days with snow falling is 10 and days with 6 days of snow cover. Most of the snow has been light with 1 inch the max cover..

[Mark.C]

Stopped now as the band has now passed over, but left a cover albeit thin, but readily settled whilst it lasted

 

If this is happening at sea level, with already wet ground and not particularly cold then it can happen anywhere in the region
