North West England Regional Discussion 21st January 2013, 06z onwards

[HotCuppa]

The Met used to issue flash warnings but at the moment they've stuck with their original warnings, and the BBC pretty much broadcast what the Met tell them, wrong or right.

mostly they broadcast what they want. if they broadcast what the met tell them, non of their own forecasts would be at odds with the met forecast lol

[HotCuppa]

the met is keeping us under heavy snow from midday until 6pm and its getting dark again with precip

Very heavy snow in Norden near Rochdale - Car snowed in had to commute by taxi and train!

about three or four inches of snow - nightmare weather. I hate the snow.

[Cheshire Freeze]

[chiffer]

Looks to be dying off soon though... Cummon snow, do a 2010 and just go mental!

Have you noticed that nobody else around the country wants it to snow in the NW lol?

I follow the likes of Ian F and Matt H on twitter, and they always mention about it snowing elsewhere, NE, East, SW, London, Scotland etc, and never even give the NW a thought - random?

[julie253]

Am in work in Prenton, Wirral and it has snowed all morning. Anyone know how long it will last?

[kaluja]

Ok this is depressing ... we have snow/ sleet now and nothing is sticking ... think im just gonna go hibernate until spring

[Bolton67]

Radar seems a bit all over the place today. We should have very light snow at the moment but is coming down quite nicely. Love te way the snow is showing through the clouds at the moment.

[Backtrack]

Damn, that heavier stuff around Crewe/Northwich just missed me.

[Kitkat1]

Still a steady snowfall here near Rainford, not as heavy as an hour ago but big flakes and consistent 😄

[Cheshire Freeze]

What's interesting is that outside of the town I don't think there was a thaw of Friday's snow. Must be some good depths around the greenbelt now.

[snowdrifter]

I wonder what the Oxberry will have in store for us this evening? Maybe she'll go mental with a "wtf was that?"

[Brass_Monkeys]

Snow is a lot lighter than it has been for the last 2 hrs, flakes have got very small but still quite intense

Looks like it could be clearing from the South soon?

There should be a gap moving into Manchester acc to the radar any minute. Anyone confirm?

[Rossyvalley]

Are we expecting more snow in East Lancs today?

[Backtrack]

Really?

still snowing nicely here

[cheshire snow]

Yes it will start to melt...temp up towards 2C here but....

Snow snow, I bloody love the stuff!

[Darren Bown]

Looks to me like it looks like it's getting much lighter across the eastern part of the region. Let's hope there is an intensification again like this morning!

[R.P. McMurphy]

Looks like its clearing south of the region now, shame, had great potential, still got a nice 3" here or maybe more though - cant see why the NAE is picking up snow for later, cant see where it's supposed to come from?
