Euro4 again showing little or no lying snow across the north west -

Pennines should do OK acc to that misery guts of a model !!

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

This is radar i can see. Been like this for an hour. Donnt whats real and whats not

[WillinGlossop]

See Woodhead bypass proposals on bbc breakfast... would be nice but in reality probably won’t be implemented and completed for another 20-25yrs.....

[northwestsnow]

euro4 shows places with altitude (probably a lot of altitude ) might get heavy snow wed night as the low scoots thru, still need it another 30miles south to bring the region into the equation tho..

Still, thats not much so will have to watch todays runs with interest..

 We need to wait for  lapse rates to increase this afternoon. I expect it to explode about 3 PM. 

What’s lapse rate?

Rain today much better radar

Looking out as it lightens up outside.... dusting on roof and grass and car... lookslike a proper covering above 400m...

I used to use rain today. I prefer the 5 minute intervals on the Netweather one, when it works!

The odd flake in shower that just rattled thru, doesn't feel cold out.............not expecting much more that normal Northwest fare today

I'm not convinced i will see lying snow even at my altitude TBH.

GFS thought there would be heavy snow overnight and this morning- radar says no.

[Spah1]

It’s going to get going about 10.30am I recon. 

[cheshire snow]

Plenty of rain/Hail showers rattling through,which is quite surprising normally very poor here from a westerly no doubt when they turn wintry they will

by pass me completely.

Latest from Airport Heavy snow showers expected mid afternoon and overnight period 2-5cm has triggered a Level 2 alert.

Sounds great CS

Lets see what the afternoon brings..

[pip22]

No snow here. I assuming not enough showers here. If it did its probably just too wet.
