North West England Regional Weather Discussion

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Is that ppn over windermere due to beef up as it crosses the sea

[damianslaw]

Certainly no marginality here temp wise, we've gone below freezing currently -0.2 degrees.

[SparkleS]

Well my sister said she and mum have just arrived in Liverpool by coach and the weathers absolutely fine, no snow, nothing. They've gone to the theatre.

[frosty ground]

Light snow #shock

[Miamay]

Im giving up for now. Going out for my birthday meal !! 

[dodge]

The showers appear to be dying back as they travel over land, so areas near the coast might see passing showers but I think areas east in the region won't be receiving anything decent.

Diane Oxberry in 'I told you so' mode and positively euphoric at Sunday's mild temperatures.... okay, okay you win this one.... we'll get you back some day.

[Miamay]

Diane harping on about insignificant snowfall !! 

[Darren Bown]

There's still energy out west so fingers crossed it'll cause some more convection overnight.

[captaincroc]

Just gone out and checked and many places have frozen over, this is what it must be like living at altitude (well compared to Crewe ) It is only planned to get colder so just got to hope some more things actually fall from the sky.

Please don't mention that woman, I deliberately don't watch BBC NW forecasters for the mediocre quality of our local weather presenters. 

I laughed at a tweet by Ian Fergusson referring to tweeters to tweet their local BBC weather areas for snow prospects. 

Are you kidding?

The spin-off to the NW of Dublin, not sure if that's a PL or just a low-pressure vortex being enhanced. 

[chicken soup]

Crystallised moisture in the form of snow is descending from the skies above blackburn.

[Chris.R]

770 j/kg CAPE and -4 LI showing for midnight over Liverpool bay; that is respectable in summer!

0.5 degrees currently between Congleton and Macclesfield at about 100m altitude. Shower clouds rattling through. Snowed quite heavily this afternoon but didn't settle. Made hills white over with snow lying above about 150m.

Well, just been out in the car in a mini blizzard to drop my girlfriend off at the gym. We had to turn back as roads where dicey as hell! Settled very quickly, dry again now.

There's nobody talking in the Yorkshire thread and I'm going through the Scottishand Irish thread for my snow fix

There is some troughs/fronts in the fax charts which suggests something more organised, kinda makes the winds veering more northerly even more frustrating but be interesting how things will develop.

[robbo88]

Had nothing falling out of the sky since before the sun set. Maybe I'll be lucky to get a dusting from that band moving down from Scotland. Even still, I shouldn't complain It's been less than 12 months since my last  decent snowfall. Here's hoping some of you wake up to scenes like this from march last year.....

[frosty ground]

Looking at the Radar and seeing that one shower head south East north of Blackburn is frustrating as it's gonna miss me to the north....
