I agree with him - 5-6cm doesn't float my boat anymore, I'm really after the big one now and sad to say it aint happening this year, by a big one I mean Jan 87 or feb 91, a foot in a very short space of time.

Just been starved this winter for anything more than 5-6cm. This event has potential for a proper dumping. Going to be knife edge.

Seriously, compared to the rest of us you've had it good.

[The Northern Ramper]

Right that's it I'm that confident I'm doing an allnighter!!

 

 

Granted I'm working nights but that isn't the point.

Let me know when they've fitted ploughs to them, although it's that long since they were used they've probably seized up.

 

It's sleeting here now so I reckon at your elevation its bound to start turning wintry soon.

Yes, its the geographical angle of the hill down to springhead that creates the drifts, ditto scouthead - waterhead and top Mossley to bottom.

[Miamay]

All quiet here now

Not necessarily, your further N and E and inland, you were always more likely to see more snow than places further West and South with the exception of places with stupid elevation of course.

Are you still recording SE winds?

Manchester Airport dropped ~2C in the last hour or so between reports simply because the low passes. 4C with SE winds at 22:50, 2C with W winds at 23:50. 

Your inland with height, it's hard to see how you'll fail to see snow.

Not sure really SB, I have no weather station, its says my postcode is SE'ly but that's BBC weather at 11pm and in any case they are nearest observation station which is Bingley - right near you!!!, I could go down a few flights of stairs but I have no compass and not really sure to the EXACT where a SE'ly would come from.

[cheshire snow]

Turned to sleet sy Man airport

C.S

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Heavy rain and sleet, please just turn to snow.

[feb1991blizzard]

STOP PRESS:  The wording of Chris Fawkes's forecast in the last half an hour has significantly changed, it wend from ' The M62 corridor between Manchester and Leeds at 300m could see 15cm'  to  'Leeds and Huddersfield and pennine areas could see quite a lot of snow and a covering at lower elevations in a few spots as well'

 

This was probably due to the latest Euro4. The 0030 forecast is usually when they get the updated graphic.

Not really, I think that was an upgrade all round, more confident now, still worried for those West of Manchester though, a dusting's the best you will get on low ground there.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

80% sleet now, were getting there.
