Not sure TBH TS, EC snow depth charts show cumbria getting quite a lot, who knows!!

[iand61]

Possibly a dusting of snow in the morning but i’m not getting my hopes up of seeing anything more than irritating ice on the windscreen and doors which are frozen shut.

then we’ve got the chance of a bit of sleet on Saturday, a bit more possible on Sunday and then it’s all eyes on Tuesday’s event which no doubt will either go to our north, to our south, fizzle before it reaches us or will swiftly follow the mild sector and we’ll get torrential sleet..........and this was widely publicised as the coldest spell of winter 2017-18.

roll on summer with its usual north south divide of 18c and cloudy here and 28c and sunshine darn sarf.

I’d still take it over what 2018 has thrown at us so far.

[cheshire snow]

No change from Manchester/Liverpool TAFS

Both show a period of snow followed by snow showers.

EC snow depth charts look really good sunday- wonder if sunday will be the main course?

well i guess tomorrow morning is almost upon us, fingers crossed as many as poss see a covering of lovely snow

EC snow charts look generally brill, and they get even better until thur next week - i know they are not reliable but lets see what the next 7days bring (apart from saturday, thats just a lame wet day).

I cant mate sorry, my laptop wont let me..

[severe snowstorm]

The airport TAFs have remained rock steady all day with the suggestion of a prolonged period of snow between 03:00 and 08:00 followed by snow showers. I was half expecting these forecasts to downgrade. Metoffice text forecast sounds great still. If tomorrow doesn't go as we hope, at least we get another bite of the cherry on Sunday and then more possible snow during next week. An interesting few days coming up that's for sure.

 I’ll be round your way for the ELR gala the first weekend of March. Would be nice to see some snow while I’m there. I might even come next week if you’ve got a load.

In fairness we’ve had a bit of cover on the higher parts around the valley for much of this week and on a few occasions back in January but the amounts have been minimum and even a decent altitude like mine has seen little snow considering the potential which has been on offer.

One positive is that winter hangs on in these parts so you never know, if a few things fall into place you may see the ELR under snow.

BTW is the gala weekend the one with the Harry Potter train on show.

Peak District forecast for tonight/tomorrow.... looking good for sunday/ next week too....

 I think that’s next Thursday. Don’t think there’s anything about Harry Potter in the gala.
