Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Chris.R]

Coming down heavy again. Got almost exactly 1 inch. -1.1°C.

[Kasim Awan]

A secondary streamer has now formed on the peripheral section of the trough which has more widespread potential than the streamer which has just occured. An additional 2-8cm is likely widely across Merseyside, Lancashire and Greater Manchester in the next 3 hours. A steady rise in dew points along the coast will take place in the coming hours. And wind speeds increase towards midday areas west of the M6 will see a rise to 1C dew point. Through the afternoon this will spread eastwards towards the 120m contour.

During mid morning heavy and significant snowfall will affect Cumbria, 1-5cm widely away from the coast. This then extending into North Yorkshire and northern Lancashire where mixed precipitation is likely below 200m in the West and below 100m-150m over and to the East of the Pennines. Accumulations of 25-35cm are possible above 250m locally in these areas. A more widespread 10-15cm above 200m. 5-8cm between 100m-150m and 250m. This will be a confined streamer forming over central northern Lancashire and just to the north of Bradford. Little accumulation outside of it.

A southwards shift of the front can be expected through the afternoon producing a period of moderate snow over the central southern Pennines 2-7cm widely. Perhaps 1-2cm down to 200m on the west and 100m on the east of the Pennine area. Temporary accumulations east of the m6 are possible but this is uncertain.

Thanks I’m pretty happy with my assessment before I think it was alright lol. 1cm here.

1cm more than here.Snow shadow

[Chris.R]

Heavy stuff incoming. As dewpoints rise flakes will get bigger also which will lead to accumulation quicker.

[pip22]

Only a dusting here so far. 

[Joe Bloggs]

Radar looks full out west, could be a fun rush hour 

[dodge]

Light snow falling has left a white covering everywhere here.  Radar looks interesting out west, still -2.

[Stephen_Mcr]

Only a bit here, but it is enough! Was expecting to wake with nothing. 

It's still coming down.

For those that do have it - get out there and enjoy - we deserve this!

[Joe Bloggs]

Recorded broadcasts are always asking for trouble IMO. All weather forecasts should be live. 

[Had Worse]

Looking at the Radar, does the blob to the NW look like its on a heading further South than forecast? 

[Joe Bloggs]

A large area of moderate to heavy snow across Merseyside currently. 

[Miamay]

Snowing again
