I think Scotland and Ireland probably the next lot going to be dissapointed in  next couple of Winters if the Global Warming continues like this. At least they deserved it after all that snow up there!!

Come off it; snow cover isn't any good if it's as though someone has shuffled a few bits of flour.

We've had one decent event in Blackburn this winter and it was washed away quickly.

There will be a fourth one issued as well for Sunday as the Atlantic rolls in giving a brief slush fest.

Looking at the model output, it is going to be the last one for a long while.

[Thunder Snow]

light rain but snow in heavier showers

[Snowmusic]

Just seen a BBC national forecast and it still looked ok for NW tonight / tomorrow morning. Has confused me now given the model output and general opinions on here!!

Thats a shame,  things can change quickly I know, but anything good enough for snow here looks unlikely in the 2nd half of Jan.  For me that only leaves feb, I know we can and do get snow in March or even April, but personally once we are into Mach, I stop being interested in cold and snow and would much prefer to see settled and mild.

My interest for cold and snow never ceases but realistically as February progresses the sun becomes a major enemy for any lasting snow.

Mind you, we can't even get snow to last a day in January now. I had a nice covering (of hail mostly) when I went to bed and it still managed to melt completely by the time I woke up at 7am. That's diabolical for mid January on a night with cold uppers.

But expected when you get a mild sector........

Do people really believe that there where no marginal events or non events in the 60/70/80's

The ice/snow cover melted overnight when the uppers were below -5. If that's the case then the whole polar maritime was a mild sector apart from a few hours when we hit -7/-8.

That's what was forecast and the temps you talk about didn't really have time to embed in, its not like we where under those conditions for a day or two was it?

had the flow been as originally forecast (the temps would have got colder and colder but things change, that's life.

[Thunder Snow]

What are peoples thoughts for tonight, despite the bbc forecast im going for rain and snoe for the hills 

[Chris harry]

I think it'l go down to about -60 give or take a few degrees and tomorrow it'l be up in the 40+ with loads of red hot sun. If it's anything to do with our weather and the weather people reporting it then anything' possible. Pmsl

Well yes, things always change so that the cold uppers get interrupted. This usually happens because the models pick up a shortwave which blocks the cold air. Just like the one that will affect us tonight. The plethora of shortwaves is another symptom of warmer seas.

I know that the warnings and model output don't look great for much of the region, but the updated Manchester Airport TAF is still holding steady on the possibility of snow overnight. We will just have to see.

Shortwave have always existed and are created by two different air masses advances either CAA over Warm are or WAA over Cold

Think maybe you should take a break CM, you seem to take it quite personally and it seems to surprise you every time.   You live in an area that isnt going to get much if any snow, ever, it will happen but it will be very rare.  On the plus side you live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
