Oh I see you add up the 3 hours snowfalls together. 

Have you got your checklist ready mate?

Rain radar - check

Wellies - check

Brolly - check

Raincoat - check

Sandbags - check

Set the bar low and we won't be disappointed.

As if!!!

Heavy showers around dawn, currently no ppn, very windy - I'd say F6. 

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

There already lots of convection

[Day 10]

How are the latest precip charts looking? On phone so can't check properly. How's the gfs looking?

[pip22]

The weather system seems to me is further north.

Little upgrade maybe??

Just checked and at 4pm Dew Points are below freezing for most of us and were are in -5c air, so hopefully any showers should be wintry at least by then.

I was thinking this Pip. I know I'm in North Staffordshire but I thought I could be in for a chance of being on the northerly border of the precipitation.

Heavy blustery showers here in Maghull I'm sure there was a bit of hail a minute ago

Latest met o update forecast IMBY for tomorrow suggests showers on and off all day - winds W to WSW then NW. Not cold enough for snow early doors but temps suggested to drop mid morning with snow showers from then on for here at least.  For me at least this will be the most accurate forecast to follow over the next 36 hrs or so.

The updated met warnings should be out soon. Everything crossed!

There is quite a difference for tomorrow between the gfs and euro4. Euro 4 only gives us a few scattered showers with most of the precipitation reserved for the southern England. 

We could do with the euro 4 to show something more promising in the next run.

78mph at 3:22am in Buxton this morning, so-much for the forecast saying the max was only going to be 52mph. And still gusting well up to 60mph even now.

Same here on wx weather..... hirlam going for 7-12cm around our part of pennines.....

It is still around 7...... on the 06z

[Wildswimmer Pete]

Just went out to check, the loud crack I heard was one of my fence posts going.  My garden fence is head height wood panelling so I'm concerned, and it looks I might have to face some expense.

GFS having similar windspeeds 3am-9am on Friday morning for the region, more emphasis has been placed on the snowfall it seems by the forecast than the 60-70mph+ gusts we're currently having and expecting to get again in 48hr.

[Day 10]

Fridays warning amended, just waiting on thursdays

[I Cumbria Marra I]

I'm out of Friday's warning

[cheshire snow]

If it's anything like yesterday the update will change again in a few minutes.

I wish they'd change the BBC forecasters in a cold spell, nothing worse than watching dianne oxberry, Jay wynn, Darren brett skimmimg through the forecast overplaying temps, underplaying snow!
