Sod's law will say that a low will track in the right path but it won't be cold enough!

Not cold enough at the moment, will just be sleet/ rain

Do we have any ideas when the uppers will drop to give us more of a chance ?

Yes- think the showers are going to die out this evening as the uppers become just about low enough.

Don't say that otherwise I'll be going for the bath and toaster option.

Rain in MCR city centre as I left work, but more sleety back in Swinton, Salford - hoping for something after 9pm when uppers start becoming a bit more favourable!

Maybe start of a new streamer.

With a bit of luck, that will funnel into the Stalybridge / Mottram/ Hadfield area.

Looks like this streamer is just gonna clip here. Just check it out 

[frosty ground]

You could be in luck, maybe,

We got it proper snow all lying on every surface

[northwestsnow]

Its funny watching the radar with the weather type on, you can see the showers blue in the west of the region, green as they get towards east of the region then pink as they cross the pennines.

 

[Frost HoIIow]

Sleet here with the odd flake of snow thrown in.

Doesn't always live up to wot it shows thou. ?

[James M]

Heavy sleet in that last shower, radar doesn’t look the best though.

[SP1986]

Even Halkyn Mountain in Wales (300m asl) doesn't have snow on it so no chance for lowland coastal areas

Not cold enough anyway James.

Have to hope the temps drop overnight for any showers to turn to snow.

Thnk 300m and above will be white come morning tho..

[Had Worse]

Simon King has just said that only high ground will get snow.

0- ? Low ground

?-over 300m High ground ?
