North West England Regional Discussion - January 17th 2013. 12z onwards

[benricky]

Upgrade for most 6z GFS. Things, to me anyway, seem to be beefing up again this morning after a wobble

Hope so Pal, I'm just on the outskirts of north cheshire (by Manc Airport) so minor upgrades would do for me

06z

[Osamasbinsledgin]

v.light snow continues to fall, noticeable slight accumulations on lawn, shed roof

[Bartlett Low]

Gfs 6z JS beefed up the precipitation to an extent.

However anything light blue I just snizzle if that.

On mobile so can't post charts sorry. The 0z NMM is improved on 18z last night, NAE looks like it's toying with wanting to move things further east and 6z GFS beefs up precip south of River Ribble

[WorsleySnow]

06z

That only shows that we are at 100% chance of getting snow....thats always been the case, the downgrade is the amount that we get.

Its the FAX charts we need! Get rid of that pressure.

[SparkleS]

Lol if only that was snow!

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

06z still has hrs of snow for most uk

[UV-RAY]

06z

The only problem with those charts is that they are always wrong.

[Isolated Frost]

NMM starts with the GFS- it'll be the same solution each time.

[HotCuppa]

looks like the ecm could be right, if so stpeter start lamp post watching after noon haha

Well I don't know what to make of all this? As a novice trying to interpret the output this morning it just looks as if the main event has shifted west and potentially may move south. Forecasts are still showing significant snow but it looks more like we'll see a covering rather than the blizzard I was probably unrealistically hoping for. At this point are the high res models that most of us don't have access to all important?

[Bartlett Low]

Here's ppt chart

[Snow free zone]

6z has the precipitation slightly further N and E.

This http://www.yr.no/pla...ngland/Preston/ is fast becoming my favourite weather site .... I wonder why

looks great for the south of the region if that comes off

[gearbox1001]

met office app has now changed for my area to light snow and the duration of that light snow is saturday night. I am not shocked its a non event that happens all the time, I only ever seen snow when nobody knew or talked about it coming.

Novice or Pro, we are as bamboozled as the next person regarding set ups like this.
