North West England Weather discussion 16/01/16 Onwards

[chris78]

wow snow in Preston, very rare!

 

From the radar looks like there wont be to much more, or am i missing an expected wind change or something else that will keep it coming?

[Mokidugway]

It's all going white ,and that magical eerie quietness 

[dodge]

I'm not liking this speedy East to West progress, hopefully the Pennines will stall it.  

[pip22]

Sleeting now. But I see some proper lighter snowflakes now. I think its coming back.

Light snow here. Nothing too exciting at the moment.

[Darren Bown]

It's running north to south, rather than east to west.

You mean west to east.

It has moved further east than the models suggested but there is still some on the way from the northwest.

[frosty ground]

So how far east is this going to get..... is it expected to stall over our region 

[Snowy L]

Not even raining here now, partly clear.

[SparkleS]

And its been sticking on road, itmsleeted and got rid of it then it filled back in again

[Spurry]

Sticking here but a lot lighter now

It is expected to stall, but it has got a little further east so far. Still, it is heading NW to SE'wards so should be lots of ppn to come hopefully pepping up a bit. Definitely an evening for radar watchin.

[James M]

Light snow has started and it's readily sticking to frozen ground

[Backtrack]

Game over west of Manchester. The front is miles further east than forecast. 

[captaincroc]

Just been for an hour walk round the edge of Nantwich and was rain/sleet all the way.  Even though it wasn't snow I really enjoyed walking in it, as there was a beautiful eerieness as there was absolutely no wind and you could hear the sleet hitting leaves etc.  It's actually blue skies here now, so temps will drop.  I genuinely don't care now if it does or it doesn't snow later.  Anything would be a bonus! lol

[pip22]

Snowing properly again now.

[jam2010]

properly sticking, didn't think I would get any a couple of days ago so very happy with this right now

[Summer Sun]

some people are never happy , how can it be game over when it wasn't forecast until 1500 ,  Irish sea is full of moisture .

[Liam J]

Quite a bit further east when compared to the NetWx-SR.
