Well conditions are certainly ripe enough now, especially up near the Moorside area. After all the rain we now have a bit of a graupel dusting. NEED PPN URGENTLY

yes craig anything from now on will be snow for you- just getting a bit concerned about the wind direction, it was supposed to be WNW - it isn't and probably explains why its mainly dry..

watching the irish sea and hoping..

 Send it this way :-) 

[Hocus Pocus]

Still nothing here and looking at the radar I can’t see much in the way of precipitation in my neck of the woods.

Yeah we seem to be stuck between minor streamers coming off the North Sea and the main band of ppn but it does look like we will eventually get blasted overnight at some point. Fingers crossed pal

If we get it on Sunday, you wont miss the odd shower will you?

[northwestsnow]

temps are dropping now- should be getting on for -7 uppers- might not be a bad thing if the precip hits a bit later 

[feb1991blizzard]

GFS as you were up until 50+ hours on 18z for sunday.

[Daniel*]

Looks like a bit of a Streamer has set up from Northern Ireland stretching all the way to Lancashire.

Hello up there next to the church on the hill, can you see me in Hadfield.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Well atleast the whole region is in the sweet spot for sunday going by the latest GFS

[iand61]

Nothing but stars in the sky here and I've had to get my snow fix by watching a programme about Chenobyl instead.

plenty of activity further north in Lancashire but whether it will come far enough south to give me anything I'm not convinced.

no doubt I'll know more when I open the front door in the morning though.

That shower brought the temp down abit 3c now
