North West England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards

Howdy

A new thread for those of ya in the North West to continue your chats of the weather. 

Looks like some chilly and possible wintry conditions to wet the appetite for the North-Western UK cold and snow fans in the next few days. But will it cold enough for the showers or longer spells of precipitation to fall as snow to low levels I wonder?

13'c shade temperature here in the peaks today but sat out in the late-spring sunshine it feels much warmer than that, pleasantly surprised at just how cloud-free today was although it's all change from tomorrow with that northerly setting-in for a few days. Just a shame it came 2 months too late to be of any significance other than a brief shock to the system.

Lovely day here in South Cheshire very pleasent if you got out of the breeze.On to the Northerly,will not be surprised one little bit to see snow falling to quite low levels Monday night through to Wednesday evening (Not settling though at low elevations)but certainly a temporary covering on high ground,looks like possible warming up again towards bank holiday Monday.

It amazes me from how far away you can zoom into something with a camera these days. You'd think you were only a mile or so away from there when you'd zoomed in.

Heard the splash of raindrops against the bedroom window this morning as the front passed, looking at twitter and the Scottish page here on NW it seems like some good snowfall amounts totalling for the highlands and even a few reports of snow at sea-level.

Impressive heavy snow shower just pushed through. Left a slight cover on the grass and really knocked the temperature back.

Worth noting a fair few of the hi res models bring a batch of showers into southern parts between 2-4am. Could be some sleet and snow in these.

[damianslaw]

Heavy snow shower around half 7 left a slushy deposit with temperatures dropping like a stone close to freezing.

Yep seems to be closing in on southern parts of NW England now. Wonder if I can get any flakes from this imminent shower?

[SNOW_JOKE]

Wondering how far west that rash of showers will get into the region, tantalizingly close to this side of the Peak District north of Buxton but it all depends on what the winds are doing in the low-mid heights.
