North West England Regional Discussion Thread 15/1/2018 onwards

[Weather-history]

I'm trying to remember the last time an Atlantic frontal system moving west to east where the precipitation was totally of snow. Early February 2012 had ice pellets mixed in and a bit of sleet with the snow, here.

It is possible to get back edge snow on Friday morning according to 6z GFS. I only just found it out on the latest Gav's videos on YouTube.

I don't know whether it is still on 12z.

He said he thinks that they are related so I think that will be a no 

[Wardlegacy]

Snowing more than it has done all day now. The last hurrah of the front I guess. Colder now so hopefully we should keep the cover until tomorrow.

Interesting that today was the day the BBC stopped using the met office for their forecasts. The BBC forecast today had the snow fizzling out by lunchtime and then blue skies the met office had light snow until five then skies slowly clearing. The met office temperature prediction was for a high of 1 the BBC said it would be 4-5. Whatever we might say about the met office their forecast for today was pretty accurate

I think the problem was last night wasn't clear. The cold air was in place but the ground could not lose heat effectively enough through radiation. A frost in the first part of the night and then the cloud cover to minimise solar radiation may have made more surfaces retain snow cover.

Early February 2012, snow stuck immediately even though it start falling during the late morning. The ground was frozen from the frost of the previous night.
