Mental how many times the midlands end up copping these slider/battleground snow events, its not a new thing either, theyve always done the best in these situations. Annoying.
Will be shocked if i see more than 0.5cm of snow this weekend but we are seriously overdue a decent snow fall so hopefully get lucky with that stuff moving further north on Sunday.
NW'lys are often dry here as we are sheltered by SW Scotland, the very south west of cumbria sometimes get clipped but the vast majority of the showers hit south of say Blackpool. We had a very cold NW'ly in 2009 i think which delivered 5cm in about 2 hours here and that was our lot whilst a streamer set up further south and the likes of blackpool and merseyside got 10-20cm i think. The south of the region is in a much more favourable position from a NW'ly than cumbria.
