North West England Regional Discussion 13/01/13 ------>

[Spurry]

The Countryfile forecast should be quite non-commital tonight , no doubt lots of references to uncertainty beyond 6 hours ....can't wait

[chris78]

I think this second band is doing a stealthy on us as i cant see it

Yeah does anyone when the second band should appear on the radar?

[Spurry]

See what?

sorry meant to quote this

Why is everyone complaining of a 'non event' it was always going to be a lighter first band with the second more intense period of rain and snow coming tonight and tomorrow. Seems like a growing confidence for the east as there is an amber warning east of the Pennines for tomorrow

[Darren Bown]

I'm not looking at anything past the end of tomorrow as there is so much uncertainty!

6 hours! I think you are pushing the boundaries with that.

[itsnowjoke]

We are bound to moan after all the ramp ups. yes they said it was going to snow they should of said how Flipping little

[jembutler]

snowing again here , very lightly.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

It still snowing here too but light

[Darren Bown]

Something heavier now reaching SW Cumbria and the Fylde coast, hopefully this might not be quite so light.

[raul_sbd]

1.1 degrees and 94% humidity here in Altrincham

[Cecil Hogmanay Melchett]

still light snow here but very wet and thats 600feet up and in the east of the region,in short i cant see much hope for settling snow here really and thats a definite nono for the vast majority im afraid.

on the other hand the prayer mat is out for the ukmo run as we would get hammered with it,trouble is its 144hrs away and we all know to well thats light years away

[snowdrifter]

Do you know I promised myself I wouldn't get even a bit excited about potential charts, but I just can't help looking and telling myself 'It can happen..."

[ICETAB]

Light snow here.

Just got a little bit excited after viewing the UKMO 12z. It shows colder air during the main front tomorrow and makes snow very likley if it came off. -5 uppers at miday tomorrow. Upgrade from this mornings run. The GFS model doesn't agree but chances of snow tomorrow have improved in my eyes.

Edit: -5 uppers showing at more like 15:30 tomorrow, with heavy precip.

[SparkleS]

Haha lol..... Silly crappy lampost!! Cant see it from inside,just gone outside and felt something wet on my face, its snowing again!!! Getting quite heavy and less wet than earlier! Cant see it from inside the house...

[Snow free zone]

After the initial blizzard conditions we experienced earlier we have had sleet then drizzle and now steady light rain.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Just got heavier

[Spurry]

Trying to cook a lamb dinner here but more pre-occupied with the will it / won't it snow battle, just started snowing lightly here again and 0.2c

No real snow though, a mixture of sleet and the tiniest snowflakes you could imagine!

With a breeze from the Irish sea -5 uppers are not cold enough unless you have elevation.

[snowdrifter]

Bits of snow mixed in on the radar over the Irish Sea - could be interesting.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

It actually quite heavy

[sal007]

Started snowing again, nothing to write home about though..
