She’s been the nw presenter for what seems a lifetime as she presented when I lived in the Isle of Man in the late 90s/early 2000s.... can’t they get a snow loving reasonable presenter....

When I lived in East Midlands the weather presenter for Look North, Paul Hudson, was a massive snow lover! It was so nice to watch his forecasts.

That looks beautiful and I'm a guy imagine what the wife said when I showed her 

"apparently" I need to make more of an effort I told her to "shut the front door " or words to that affect

aaaaahhhhh sigh, ? the night after the day before. 

Was in a chipper mood all week apprehensively expecting decent snow. 

Checking every bloody model run religiously. 

Feel pretty deflated and can’t really force myself yet to look in the Mod thread to chase the next chance of snow. 

SSW possible in Jan with 2 week lag time, maybe more chances in Feb ?

Winter is the next three months there will be more chances... we was robbed this time... that’s how I see it, including by the met office with an amber warning...but as I’ve heard before about Greater Manchester and here with a se wind the precip dries up...we’re lucky that eventually the wind turned easterly and drew in moisture which gave us two inches on top of previous days showers...

low for you, but most of the time you get more than here, and most of the W Midlands, and E Midlands

That’s one reason why I moved here so I’d be at least guaranteed some snow, I used to live in snow starved Kent and a Kent that was atrocious at dealing with minute amounts of snow.... 

[Cheshire Freeze]

Down to -7 here now

[Weather-history]

Last Manchester Airport TAF mention possibility of sleet for tonight

Temporary
from 12 at 18 UTC to 12 at 23 UTC

Visibility: 4000 m

Broken clouds at a height of 400 ft

rain, snow

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Possible for front edge snow i think. Front will arrive later evening it will b cold

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

-2.8 -3 dp now

[SP1986]

Due to freezing fog there are some interesting local temperature variations around here. Here it is 0.8C but down the road about 2 miles away it is -6C

[toggerob]

-2.7'c in Buxton at just past 4:30am which is surprisingly 'warmer' if you could call it that, than the predicted -12'c temps across the snowfields here. But looking at XCweather it seems like a similar event to 2010 where the lower areas of Cheshire, Manchester, Staffs got the coldest temps due to the frost-hollow effect.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Can anyone recommend any decent weather stations? Want one that displays dp aswell?

[dodge]

Suffice to say it's a bit chilly...-6c.  Right now you would think any precipitation running into such frigid air would readily turn to snow, but those SW winds will get in ahead of tonight's front & raise the temperature.

[SP1986]

Currently 0.5C after a minimum of 0.2C since midnight. Still a few hours cooling left but it looks like yesterday will remain the coolest night minimum so far this Winter at -2C
