North West Regional Discussion Feb 2021 onwards

Cheers  

Cold and wet with a bit of white thrown in 

to be fair it could go either way… which I guess is why the Uk weather is so enticing to follow… can always throw up surprises 

[damianslaw]

Just inside the warning area for snow Tuesday. I suspect it will be a higher level affair.. might see some wet slush first thing but snowline probably 300m. These events are tricky to forecast, evaporative cooling will be a key factor.

[WillinGlossop]

Mobile phone automated forecast has snow here and Buxton tomorrow now… 2c instead of 3c makes the difference?

[Chris.R]

Perhaps of more interest tomorrow is a possibility of some more vigourous convection and large cumulonimbus developments in the afternoon as T500s drop to -35. A little lower than Saturday.

more flashes of lightning and intense hail showers would be welcome!

[frosty ground]

Met office app has a very snowy morning all of a sudden lots of sleet for the day as well a bit of a yucky day 

[cheshire snow]

Temperature 2c

DP 1c

Expected todays wet weather to have already arrived here but still dry at the moment although looking at the radar, it’s due shortly.

As for some snow in the mix, we’ll soon see

[damianslaw]

 Cold week ahead with wintry mix. Another months time and the mix would be plain snow.

[WillinGlossop]

2c damp… 

looking at winking man cam damp there too

The inhabitants of the Far north England regional will be the lucky ones tomorrow and even then on high ground...expecting lashings of horizontal cold sleety rain here.  Nasty weather

[iand61]

It’s arrived and for now at least it’s snow.

[A Face like Thunder]

Damp and dreary here, but rain rather than sleet or snow, rather as expected.

[iand61]

Didn’t last long before rain took over but better than nowt I suppose.

[WillinGlossop]

Sleety rain 2c lovely ‍

We'll let you class it as a snow day. No stewards enquiry. LOL

Rainy rain and 3c

[frosty ground]

Occasionally a few flakes of snow but mostly rain, only light so far thou a prolonged heavy burst would probably produce snow

[WillinGlossop]

Winking man back to snowflakes  

looks light and intermittent… 

[Had Worse]

[WillinGlossop]

Lookslike heavier rain incoming… cloud cleared from hugging tops… slightly white hill tops visible 

[trickydicky]

Heavy sleety miserableness here. Tomorrow looking like a few hours of sleet blizzard, which must be the worst type of weather to be outside in.

[iand61]

Looking at the radar there’s a short period of drier weather before some heavier stuff arrives but then hopefully a clearance to something brighter which may just salvage a few hours before dusk.

I really hate the lack of daylight at this time of year.

It's virtually non-existent isn't it, especially on days like today were the cloud base is so low.  Probably will clear after this squally bit's gone through post lunchtime, but like you said, there will only be a few hours left by then.

[Chris.R]

Cold front about to come through if it’s heavy enough it may turn to snow for awhile for the lucky few above 250. Hasn’t been heavy enough thus far for even my forecast last night to be close.

After this wind veers Westerly bringing a maritime layer and vigourous convection will soon build; this giving an afternoon of sunshine and heavy showers especially for the Cheshire gap. Expect hail, graupel, ice pellets and possible lightning.
