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

[Snowstorm nw]

I said it 2 days ago bone dry and cold ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

[Brass_Monkeys]

Light snow but sticking on all surfaces

[UV-RAY]

The light snow we are seeing now was picked up on the 06z, hopefully the 12z will be right regarding tomorrows main band of precipitation.

[The Yellow Snowman]

I'm refusing to get enthusiastic about anything as whenever I do, I watch everything fade and die.

If I refuse to believe anything will fall, then maybe I won't be quite as disappointed when it doesn't.

You used all your snow quota up last February HD, it's payback time from the weather gods.

Bloody Wales, how lucky are they going to be tomorrow! I feel relieved in a way that i've brought myself down now to zero expectation. Whatever falls now we be a pleasant surprise. Tomorrow the only thing I can be guaranteed of; is a bone-chilling wind!

Our friend seems to have appointed himself as today's resident "Doom and Gloom" merchant here in the NW forums

[chiffer]

Snow getting heavier here! Forecasts are changing by the hour it seems.

[swainclubber]

had light snow on my commute home

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

That has 5mm hour for me that equates to 5cm an hour of snow

[Interitus]

Here is the accumulated precipitaion from NMM. Strong signal for Manchester and north Cheshire to suffer from a rain shaddow effect

Yes that has happened on many occasions where there is a pasting over the Peak District and over the Flintshire hills - Wrexham to Mold area, but not much in between. Less easterly and more southerly the better.

I'm wondering the same, quite a few people seem to be rather dismissive of the GFS 12z output for whatever reason.

[Weather-history]

Flakes of snow falling.

I hope your right but I think your completely wrong.

Especially for those in N.Lancs/Lakes/Cumbria.
