are we in a WSW flow here, the showers appear to be heading ever so slightly north, if so is this meant to change?

This is why the euro 4 has only light snow showers over us till midnight.

[robbo88]

Gritter just drove past.

past few showers where of snow. But they are not lasting long enough.

do I think I will see more snow tonight, yes.

do I think when I wake up at 7am there will be any on the ground...probably not.

This is what the euro 4 was showing since yesterday. The gfs always overdoes shower activity so paints the whole region pink when in reality only some get the streamers.

If you like snow clearly you gotta get out of this hell hole of a region.

IM in Frodsham currently, and I’m right be the Mersey estuary and it’s sleeting/hailing here albeit very lightly.

Or move up a hill.

[Spah1]

Chris said maybe 4pm - 5pm for proper action to start.

Now nearly 3pm.

Because every one from the North West is a misery guts (I can say that I'm a dirty immigrant from the other side of the pennines).

God knows, moan, moan and bloody moan about something they can't control.

Get a new hobby if people are just going to come on here and whinge, it's not worth it! Do something useful with your lives!

Look at the weather warning and see what time it’s meant to start! 

[Darren Bown]

Metoffice have downgraded the wind strengths for my location overnight tomorrow by around 10mph, so they are noting the shift south of the low now.

this thread is an awful place at times....... #toysoutpram 

Maybe we need a NW moan thread or people need to ring 116 123 (UK) the samaritans.

The warnings state in the north of the area first, then this evening and overnight for the rest of the area. So there’s still plenty of time.

 

cherry picking of models/charts really is the reason for disappointment from a ‘too optimistic’ point of view. I’ve done it loads. 

 

One chart the Karyo posted showed DPs remaining over night below 0 to 6pm tomorrow. So who knows?

[WillinGlossop]

I’ve got woodburner lit, pork marinating, still slushy out....last shower was heavy snow, large flakes... hoping for more frequent showers later on.... we shall see....
