sea swim

As Kasim suggested - for the Wirral Coast we have done ok overnight. As to how long it stays as snow or transitions to Rain? looking to be a great 4 mile walk to work through the not so renowned snowy winter wonderland that is Birkenhead this morning!

thanks for the responses!

what would need to happen to temps tonight to convert forecast sleet to snow on north Wirral Coast? intensity of precipitation or could the 2 m temps forecast be awry for tonight please?

Even on Wirral opportunity depends on altitude and proximity to sea. several times New Brighton is plumb in line of North/NNW's only to get cold rain whilst 2 miles inland B'head and Bebington have a bit and up in Heswall a bit more again with their altitude.

excellent explanation Tamara, I really understood that, so many thanks for the clarity around the dropping off of enabler forces

As someone said yesterday, GFS tends to fall into line with Ecm, but is just about 24 hours behind?

Tamara, have spent some months trying to grasp what you say in ways that’d make sense to me. This last post was brilliant, I get it(ish)now! - about overviewing the overall interactions of operations in remote strategic departments that affect distant interacting agency elsewhere (obviously!) - not serrendipity but still highly nuanced/complex - strategy rather than just looking at the activities and the business performance in mid-term forecasts/projections of a couple/few regional departments.. will improve understanding hereafter..

Being in-between Mersey and Dee estuaries/North Wales, we must be the unluckiest here - New Brighton is at mouth of Cheshire Gap - but as always on the coast it will be cold rain, whereas 6 miles inland it’s always a different story with this set-up!

Do folks now truly believe another spell similar to Dec 2010 might now be on the cards? That would be absolutely incredible, not to mention fantastic. (Been following this thread (and TWO's) model analysis and GWV's too , very closely plus many others via Twitter over last 3 months -again same as every yr for last decade!). we sea swim every day of the yr and so want to swim the Mersey in a Blizzard!

great question! what other years indeed?

brilliant! thank you! (and hi!).

hi Dennis, excuse my ignorance but, how so? genuine question - and how might it impact please?

Thats great!! Many thanks for this!

Have you got a link to the page on their site please?
