North West England Regional Weather Discussion - 09/12/2017 Onwards

[SP1986]

Not as cold as I thought it would be at this point. Currently -1.9C with a breeze. Tonight will avoid severe frost too as the breeze will be off the sea.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

That storm is further north than it shoukd be?

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Met office have me for snow tomorrow!!!

[Chris.R]

What do you mean up here? 

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Its not forcast to get up here but its much more north than forcast.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

The centre is tracking east but i wonder if the outer ppn banda make it up here or if it changes future forcast as its further north than forcast

983mb polar low north of scotland?

 

also occlusion ahead of main storm currently over midlands

[SP1986]

There is a well developed low.over west Scotland, however it is not a polar low as like a hurricane, a polar low does not contain frontal systems whereas this one does

Polar low would be amazing but unfortunately they are so rare.the last time we saw a polar low was the decaying one of 2004.. still packed a punch though.

[Chris.R]

 Looks like that’s the minimum now. -4.0°C

Met office have me down for -9C tonight as a low. Wonder if their computer was taking into consideration that it thought there was snow cover here? We only have a dusting

It had me down for -7C last night but it was -2C with snow cover. The winds will be off the sea tonight so we will struggle to go much below freezing

Hardly anything at my house. But a 10 minute walk up the hill there is a few cm still.
