wish i could see between 24-48 hour progression.

Its so hard to tell but i think its further south than GFS!!

The UKMO is certainly further south than gfs and doesn't develop the low much.

Irish Sea has roared into life South of IOM.

Yes things could start to get interesting in the next hour or two.

You are right though more development in the Irish sea.. still rain here.. however if the precipitation becomes heavier it will be snow

Snowing on the isle of man by the looks of it as well now, so no debate about if it's cold enough.

Yes i think it is a good few miles further south K-

This is going down to the wire..

FG the app has really started downgrading the milder uppers tomorrow night now-

You got heavy snow showing until midnight tomorrow

(wed night).

Presumably this will explain the heavy snow showers in the Manchester Airport TAF forecast from 18:00 onwards. Fingers crossed.

Showers are going around me

[karyo]

The updated Aprege is similar to the earlier run and it is a bit too north for our region. The only one so far but from what I remember with the December slider fiasco the Aprege and the GFS were too far north with the low so maybe a model bias.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Nowt here, shock

[Deep Snow please]

The models do seem to want to keep things over the midlands hanging too far north this winter!

[cheshire snow]

Skies have totally cleared now and temperature has dropped to 2.6c 

Don't think I will see anything here until tomorrow nights rain

Good luck to everyone else

C.S

[Deep Snow please]

BBC app has upgraded me to 5 hours of heavy snow tonight? Know something I don't? Not sure where the precip for that is coming from?

[shadowfax]

Direction of showers has gone back around to  WNW again when they've been coming from the WSW all afternoon, whats on the ground here is more ice than snow but looks the same! Weather station showing -1oc.

Stopped now

Well least it snowed on my Birthday not enough to sledge but hey ho

[Day 10]

The radar looks decent now, streamer setting up, heading for Wirral, Liverpool, Warrington, St Helens. Starting as hail/sleet, hoping it will last long enough to turn to snow though.

Funny how those wintry showers are skipping over the Pennines to the east with merry glee giving decent snow to Bradford/Leeds etc.... yet if it was an easterly they'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming to let loose anything but snizzle & snow-grains on our side.

There's still time. Might be a midnight sledge ride though

[Barmada_Casten]

Raining again. Truly devastated today.

 

Could anyone on the forum give me an insight to what Lakeland (Ambleside/Winderere) can expect rest of today and tomorrow? Thanks.

Yes I've noticed that, very annoying.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Snowing here

[Decemberof2010]

Erm hardly any snow here in Leeds. Nothing settled and was raining half an hour ago. Then a hail storm and recently light snow. So it's not as great as you may think lol

[Weather-history]

Good convection today
