Forecasts are falling into line with regards to snow with the BBC and met office. Both now show a significant change in language regarding snow. However caution is still being held with warnings which in my opinion is positive move.

East lancs is a bit vague - where abouts are you? Most places that way have a good bit of elevation which helps.

South easterly is a good thing though, south westerly would up the dew points and we would end up with a Saturday again which was a let down for most, 850's aren't great so we need all the help we can get to get snow, and that means cooling the air below 850 height (roughly cloud level or 1.5km up, whichever you prefer) as much as we can. Best to expect the worst but hope for the best

Correct. A SEerly undercut ahead of the front is always a good marginality-killer. Having surface cold in place means we don't have to worry too much about the 850s, instead of them needing to be about -50C coming from the NW before they turn to snow here. :rolleyes:

I for one am not taking notice of what the Met office app says for the following reasons:

1 - It predicted rain on Boxing Day when we had snow as such computer generated forecasts struggle with evaporative cooling.

2 - the temperatures look unrealistic. It's currently -2 c, but -2 is the minimum for tomorrow morning on the app, illustrating how It struggles with surface cold and an SE flow on the coast.

I wouldn't even go near the BBC as there's no point going with a second hand source when I'm not going with a direct one.

Looking good in my Opinion, and as Has been said, tomorrow will be a nowcast all the way. :-)

indeed. How many times have we had massive surprises happen even when there's been no warnings or it was expected to be too marginal.

Dec 17th 2010 is a case in point. A foot of snow that was not remotely expected. Countless times.

Cloudy here hovering at 0c. Had light flurries earlier.

Hope it doesn't end up like Boxing Day when Liverpool had sticking snow and Manchester had wet snow that didn't rly stick.

Hope we all get it :)
