North West Regional Weather Discussion 27/01/14

[SparkleS]

That wind is really whipping up again here, some right gusts!

[paul m]

Good morning all It's all quiet here. 

[SparkleS]

Morning paul. Looking like its going to chuck it down as well now.

On its way by the looks of it http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile

[feb1991blizzard]

Continuous moderate to heavy snow with big flakes moving steadily North and East across the region.

 

 

[SparkleS]

Is this a wind up? Snow?

[Miamay]

Just seen Liverpool has 30 percent chance of snow on Tuesday. On netweather updTe it mentions snow for next week coming into the Northwest

[feb1991blizzard]

Is this a wind up? Snow?

 

 

Its only a forecast and must be taken with a pinch of salt as I have seen 1000 frames of the GFS that have projected snow for my area this winter so far, amount of times I have seen snow though is a big fat zero, Nick F (professional forecaster for Netweather) mentions he is surprised by people saying charts uninspiring for cold, so its not out of the question this time.

[SparkleS]

Its rain here not snow

[SparkleS]

Absolutely hissing down here now

[feb1991blizzard]

Its rain here not snow

 

 

Sorry, wires crossed, that chart I posted is for next Tuesday, as posted above, ties in with the 30% chance snow for Liverpool, the forecasts are the same data as the run I posted.

[SparkleS]

Ah i see, no problem!

Have you seen this, poor sods, there house completely gone and many casulaties.... Just awful. http://news.sky.com/story/1206815/clacton-explosion-casualties-as-homes-evacuated

[Miamay]

[WillinGlossop]

Torrential squally rain and gusting 50-60 mph up here pretty wild now.....5c....luckily i went out and did my outside jobs betweeen 8-1030... My mum in somerset says shes lost fences and huge trees down.... Just south of taunton....my sister in plymouth lost power late last night but back on now....her and all her neighbours have lost all their fences and gates are down too...

[feb1991blizzard]

Seem to be a lot of gas explosions lately, I wonder if the workmanship is as good as it used to be because the advances in safety technology mean we should be getting less, not more

[Snow free zone]

Thanks for posting that WH can't believe it was 18 years ago.

 

That date, and that december week in winter 2010 were without doubt the snowiest i've ever seen here - 2010 bettered even that snow in 1996.

Again we've been lucky to avoid the worst of the winds and rain (the weather really has got it in for the South especially SW).... still not had a low this winter were the winds have intensified on it's western flank as it tracks over the pennines (or not one that I've noticed), that's usually when you get the full force of the winds around my area. Saturday's low may be more problematical for our region, regarding wind strength?

[itsnowjoke]

The wind has got up here the rain is very heavy.

[itsnowjoke]

cant believe there no warnings out for our area.

[chris78]
