North West Regional Discussion 30 December 2020 onwards

[Mark_p]

In terms of today I wouldn't trust the radar at all. I had a look at a webcam at Tan-y-Bwlch in Snowdonia that looks like it's under quite heavy precipitation but it's dry. I mean I guess the camera might not be working properly.

Warning out for Monday as well from 10pm.

Well I wasn’t expecting that, it shows how little I know about science and the North West snow curse.

I’ll get my coat

Radar showing sleet and snow over me, nothing falling.

Probably in that warning by 0.5 mile, doubt i'll see snow now, certainly not laying.

Keep us posted if nothing the Radar needs sacking....! - front is moving up SW and cold enough from yesterdays dry E winds.

They have just brought the start time forward into Monday.

WRF 06Z still fine. Cold surface air slightly more stubborn again increasing ice pellet risk later.

One of my favourite places in the world. Wish I was there. Used to go 3–4 times a year to the Ffestiniog.

Well... Still in the game for Tuesday ... just.

[Spah1]

Interesting how the new warning removes the Fylde from the warning.

 

[Chris.R]

As expected leading edge of front is virga like last week. Seems to be a theme front looks like it’s further north but in fact precip just evaporates before reaching ground.

Managed to escape to Whalley this week.

And only a week away.

What could possibly go wrong

Possibly expecting a rain shadow? Same up here aswell and thats what happened in march 2013.

[severe snowstorm]

The radar shows the ppn knocking on the door here now. Certainly cold enough for anything that falls to be snow. Overcast and a cold Easterly wind atm.

[Chris.R]

I’m sorry to say but I doubt anyone in the region will see anything today. Precip is much further south in reality.

[Dan B]

2ºC dry and bitterly cold here with the wind...

[damianslaw]

Is the radar to be believed, shows pink over much of west Cumbria and on our doorstep, but skies are clear, and no sign of precipitation on the way. Current temp 2.7 degrees - might see a sleety snowy wet flurry passing by..

 

[pip22]

Just seen just one snowflake here. Just one!!

Radar Pinks are increasingly high in intensity Liverpool should be in line for a pasting soon by rights.

[Winter Hill]

The Mad thread really gets on my nerves at times. 
members this morning after the 6z screaming and yelling downgrades because it’s not showing snow in their back yards in the SOUTH.
