I was hoping to see a more well defined and intense streamer. All a bit patchy.

Just been out to the local tonight for a few drinks, definitely feels like -5'c outside with the clear skies and ice on surfaces. Looking forward to what tomorrow and Sunday brings. Had 4x layers on this evening and was still chilly out in the cold.

What do you think about tomorrow  Crewe?

Looking at the GFS this morning is roughly were the Amber warning is

There is such an annoying rain shadow effect to the west of the Pennines on every model run now. The winds are shown to be ENE with the precipitation so it's even affecting here. Need the low to move a good 50-100 miles N to eradicate that.

Not liking the Pennine rain shadow. Happened in March 2013 and we had light snizzly crap which wet the floor and didn't do much else. Shown to stretch right down from Manchester into Cheshire.

FWIW, here is the Metoffice text forecast for tomorrow...

Sunday:

Windy through the morning, with sleet and snow persisting through much of the day. Large accumulations of snow are likely in places. Maximum Temperature 2 °C.

I thought the rain shadow was caused when winds are coming from SE?

Wind direction tomorrow is ESE or am I incorrect?

SE'ly nor E'ly any good for the likes of Manchester. Can get away with a SE'ly here but not an E'ly or NE'ly. Basically any direction you have the Pennines blocking the wind direction for your location. The further west in Cheshire you go, the less this has an effect.

I think you'll be ok, the 50 mile modification takes me out but still gives you another 50 miles to play with.
