Took some doing but the snow has finally reached the eastern side of the region.
only light but it’s all sticking and we have a slight covering.
hopefully we’re set up for plenty more during daylight hours.

Missus has decided to watch this new Love Island crap, more plastic in the VILLAH than in a credit card factory.
personally I’d sooner watch weeks of endless south westerlys and torrential drizzle but maybe I’m just a bit old fashioned
anyway early start with the snow shovel in the morning so off to bed
enjoy your snow

Not often that a regional is busier than the Mad thread but it looks like tonight is one of them.
Hopefully the north west is rewarded with plenty of snow tomorrow, I think we all deserve it.

2 minutes ago, Weather-history said:Lol, is it the model thread or "how far north that low gets, so the south maybe within a chance of snow"?
Why don't they post this stuff in their own regional thread like us lot are doing as regards to snow prospects for this region?
Problem is that a lot of them think it is their regional thread.
great to see them wanting a low to “correct” north though.

Good to see that my snow symbols that disappeared overnight are back to an extent and with temperatures already down to -2c, it’s looking good for tomorrow.
Looking more of a later in the day event though so just hope that we don’t go the wrong side of marginal before it starts.

Tuesday’s snow shower graphics have pretty much disappeared from here now apart from towards the evening.
no surprise really and no surprise that Saturdays heavy rain symbols are still showing.
just need the warnings to disappear now and the expected backtrack will be complete.

Bring back John Kettley and the Met Office!
In fairness, even John Kettley would struggle to make todays crap winters sound remotely interesting and if Jo Blyth was showing me the forecast for the mid Feb 1979 blizzards, I’d be fully focussed on the weather map

As already said, a massive contradiction between the snow warnings shown on Wednesday and Thursday to the sunny skies and bone dry shown on the app.
the only thing that gives a chance of snow here is the cold temperatures being modelled but this could end up being the least snowy snow warning ever issued.

Assume that means you’re flying Emirates on the A380? Brilliant way to travel.
As for Thailand - absolutely wonderful place. The food is incredible. Also given the time of year you’ll be going - expect to see some amazing lightning displays.
Aye A380 it is.
see it quite a lot in the summer, circling above here before landing at Manchester and I’ve always wanted to fly on one so that’s something else I can tick off.
it certainly beats our usual of spending 5 hours cramped on a plane only fit for a couple at best.

Thailand is amazing, the beer, food, people and beaches. Dubai is a bit meh, bit like trafford center on steroids. Good to do once, but very fake. Very jealous ill be back there once the kids grow up
Aye it’s probably just a need to see it once from us.
Thailand and the wider far east, maybe we’ll be back again in the future.
we were on the point of booking a cruise from Sri Lanka back to Jordan in April but I don’t fancy paying a fortune to run the gauntlet through the Gulf at Yemen or risk it being cancelled at the last minute so that will have to wait until things calm down again.

Anyway enough of this will it won’t search for a flake of snow in winter.
We’ve just booked two weeks holiday and for the first time ever, will be heading east beyond the Med so although it’s not until late September, Thailand and a few days in Dubai on the way home here we come.
can’t wait

We’re off down to Manchester shortly to meet up with friends and as I’m still not clear of a nasty chesty cough I’m wrapped up like I’m going on a polar expedition.
probably end up sweating walking about.

Meanwhile ... today another dry grey day but no wind chill to speak of. Probably just about right for the Railway derby this afternoon, Crewe v Swindon, with a win for the LMS, hopefully!
CertInly a bit on the Turf last night.
as for the rest of my experience…….no comment

It’ll be interesting to see if the Met put up a warning for Tuesdays snow later this morning or think it still too far out to be considered worthy.
Northern Ireland have a warning for Monday which was issued on Friday so it’s probably just down to confidence.

Nice to see plenty of snow symbols for here on Tuesday.
will they still be there nearer the time, it’s still all up for grabs but it’s an improvement on anything showing yesterday.
Either way it’s going to be damn cold next week.

Low has moved north, which isn't great for us as it stop shower activity but it will change again .
Typical, every bloody low heads south and leaves us dry apart from the one we want to stay south which then moves north, but not enough to give us snow, just enough to stop us getting it

I'll be disappointed if it doesn't look like this by Wed.

I’ll be disappointed if that’s all we have had by then
in other words I’ll be disappointed

At the moment the showers are coming in on a very slight north of west angle and we are right at the northern edge of the heavier ones but if the same angle is maintained then the larger area currently over the Irish Sea should be heading across Lancashire in the next couple of hours.
we’ve still managed a covering though, maybe a cm which is as much as I was expecting by this time and at the moment, everything falling is settling.
