North west regional discussion

[James M]

Next batch of snow showers arriving now. Big thick fluffy flakes and every single one sticking

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Too far west here

[SP1986]

Extremely cold for this location.. currently -5.6C .. that's with a breeze too.. shows the depth of the cold

[Weather-history]

-6.7C, a very slight breeze is enough to make it feel colder.

[i luv snow]

Manchester sitting at -7oC when I left at 6am. Impressive for the city centre.

[trickydicky]

Frequent heavy snow showers, about 5-6 inches lying, -5, wind picking up and blowing snow around... starting to believe in this cold spell now! 

[Mokidugway]

Day two ....... snow.....

[dodge]

Snow falling and looking at the radar more to come in the next few hours.

I’m really not convinced of any snow west of the M6 today, even though the Metoffice have upgraded my town to 60% risk at lunch time. The energy is just being sapped.

Depends on what you call west of M6, we have nearing on 3 inches, the heaviest fall of the winter so far, plenty more to come.

Yes.. hmm I cannot win although maybe tonight as there will be an ice day today. If we get snow then there will almost certainly be sub -10

[Joe Bloggs]

The showers appear to be banding together to the east of the Pennines. Less blobby, more linear. Good news! 

[trickydicky]

Genuine blizzard conditions here at the moment. 

[Mokidugway]

It's stopped about 2 inch in old money

Wow has anyone seen the GFS today? It keeps us under <-8 850s  and sub 528 dam air in an easterly flow for all of the next week! No quick breakdown there. I’d gladly sacrifice a big snow to rain event for that. I expect we’ll get the northern edge of Fronts at times anyway. 

Which GFS run is that?

Today's 00z has the -8°C 850 leaving this region by Saturday evening -

Stupid Quote bug! can't believe its not fixed after what 2 yrs ?

Any quite annoying but at the same fun with the snow here. The snow has been powdery and constant for days now yet the build up is slow. 4 inches or there abouts so far without the drifts. If only the heavier bursts lasted longer than 10-20 mins because I am pretty sure the whole region would be at stand still. The main roads are already terrible. We need some prolonged stuff now for the ultimate "snowed in" episode.
