North West England - Weather Chat

[Thunderbolt_]

The sky is turning increasingly orange here, from the north-west. Snowmaggedon inbound!

[SparkleS]

Well hailstone and now sleeting

[itsnowjoke]

noo

oh gud

[tfin]

this is incredible you are no more than 1km or something from my location and i have light drizzle

Crazy isn't it? Pretty heavy too, we've got a light covering already.

I was up the tower in work this morning (about 200m asl) and looking out over the region it really put in to perspective how sporadic and localised these showers have been today.

Hopefully there's a bit more substance to this band though.

[HotCuppa]

[NW_Blackburn]

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

South of st helens close to the estuary

[Darren Bown]

Heavy snow here

[SparkleS]

Haha im at my parents at the mo 1/4 mile up the road and my partners just text me saying its snowing lol..going for another look out the door now

[pip22]

Snow now.

[Darren Bown]

The centre of that polar low seems too far west to affect us after this band moving in now?

[HotCuppa]

South of st helens close to the estuary

cant be that close to estuary because we just had light drizzle, which turned into heavy rain and its just stopped 

[Barmada Casten]

polar low predicted to track way south of our region.

 

No significant snow for anyone in our region. Looks like the south west will benefit from a north westerly system and a polar low.

 

Is it April 1st????

[Spah1]

Sleet

Need the heavier stuff

[annamb]

Just turned to big, fat, snowflakes.

Yes. Set to track south wales and south west england.

 

I felt this would happen.

[Brass_Monkeys]

Just up the road fr St.helens and now have snow falling, moderately.

[AderynCoch]

Dry here.

oh my friend I'm starting to think it's the 1st and has been for a few days already

[i luv snow]

It's quite frustrating on here tonight, whatever any one is saying about the Polar Low (or Low), if you look at the ppn, it is heading directly at us. This first area of ppn is being followed by the rest... regardless of what's forecast. If you see the latest ppncharts it also suggests the ppn moving over our region!

[cheshire snow]

Gonna go for a drive

Didn't think you were old enough for a licence LOL

I asked Nick L on the Polar Low thread and he said that he thought I was too far East and North but anything which does fall would be snow but also said he couldn't rule out it hitting and the truth was that no one knows for certain yet.
