pretty much all i have had TBH-

Lesson learned , -6 uppers aint going to cut it ..

I think uppers of -6 should be more than enough for snow in your area but the issues are where the winds are coming from and from the looks of it, the frequency of the showers, really for our region I think the best set up will be a cold low but with a much slacker set up therefore any showers over Ireland don't make it as far across because when they do, they weaken and leave a lot of cloud which is no doubt having an affect on how much convection we are seeing at the moment. Also a slacker flow gives the showers more time to develop and be a bit more widespread and potant.

The weekend could be interesting in this regard because we still have fairly cold uppers and the flow starts to weaken before fully breaking down and I remember during December on a Saturday even Morecambe saw snow falling because the flow was slacker for example..

Dianne just showed a lot of snow moving through the region tomorrow night (including a long period of snow for the Manchester area)

Will believe that when I see it! 

Still hopeful for some proper snow showers this evening/tonight 

That would be amazing Joe

Ok ..hands up which one of you told friends or family that it was going to snow? Remember the golden rule...any talk of snow MUST remain in this thread. Any loose talk jinxes the snow. We all know that

I spotted that. It was a mess. It was rain for a second, then snow and bits of rain, then all rain, within 2 hours haha! Don’t think their computers could handle it.

[WillinGlossop]

Some big bright flashes to north and east...

More IF the low remains more or less in the same position as it is now, still a bit surprised because even with a shallow low, uppers do get very close to freezing point across the region so it could be a case of a snow turning to sleet/rain and perhaps back to snow event? Should be interesting aslong it does not slide too far southwards or heads too far northwards.

[severe snowstorm]

Lightning just now and snow starting to fall.

[dodge]

Another hail shower....bits of a sleety mix also, but not witnessed any fluffy white flakes yet.
