North West Regional Weather Discussion 07/01/14

[Gaz1985]

Well it looks like I'm right on the border of the rain/snow, could be very borderline by first thing tomorrow. Elevation could be a key player.

Looks like most of the showery activity is occurring a bit further south at present, but it looks like it will be a slushy mix rather than beautiful white powdery snow for all but the highest hills.  The 18z has thrown a spanner in the works and suggest the end of week low will not so easily power it's way through the block to the east, and could give battleground chances for parts of the UK, but it needs more support in the morning for it to be taken seriously.

Yep showers have been just north of here and way south..... That radar is looking peachy for early hours though.....

[SparkleS]

Its doing something here, getting very windy again and very light fine snow, freezing too

Those showers over in Ireland won't make it here. They've been there all day, they die out as they hit the sea and lose their energy.

If you're seeing showers right now, there's a chance they'll continue throughout the night. If not, there's no window of opportunity, it's dry.

Looks like there weren't any more showers after I went to bed. There's some more organised stuff heading our way now, but it may be too late with the uppers rising etc. But we shall see!

[Aaron Roberts]

Pointless greybing, even at nigh on 1000ft the snow ain't sticking.

[James M]

Just heavy sleet here now. Could this be the first winter in my lifetime I haven't seen lying snow, not even a dusting? Well there's still February and the first half of March to go I suppose!

[WillinGlossop]

Torrential sleet.....its definately got flakes but its sleet.... 1c ......

[pip22]

Nothing whatsoever here. If its does snow last night it would'nt stick because of wet surfaces. It did get snow last night but I blame the wet ground.

I'm 99.99% certain of a snowless January now, not one snowflake and by the looks of it nothing for the first week of February.

[WillinGlossop]

Snow on ground at flash and cat n fiddle but thats all i can see in this region.... And thats barely a covering....

[pip22]

I prefer the last Thursday night's weather anyday over this damp squid. So far I rate this winter 3/10 so far. Worse since 2007-2008.

Crikey, just 2007-08? I go even further back worst since......

[WillinGlossop]

Low cloud has lifted slightly and uncovered hill near woodhead pass and can see a slightly white top....seventh time this winter the hills have had a slight covering...probably 450m

[SparkleS]

Washout here,,,cold though

[Snow free zone]

Another miserable weekend out of the way .... when will it end.

 

Heavy rain saturday and again yesterday. A little hail thrown into the mix last night.  

 

Cold chances now all but gone for the end of the week, more and more rain to come with some of the model runs looking very wet for next week.  At least I'm used to snowless winters here

[toggerob]

Not even enough snow up in Buxton to make a snowman, things looking increasingly better later on into this week as a beasterly begins to get established.

[SparkleS]

You know why do they even bother in the mod thread looking at charts when they just dont come true, i know the British weather is very fickle, so why put yourself through the heartache? They arent learning anything at all other than a pointless excercise that the charts just dont happen.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

No snow even on the local fells which are a few hundred meters asl, the worst winter since 1876 continues

[Miamay]

A bright sunny day here with blue skies
