If they’re troughs then they won’t lose energy crossing the hills. Watch and see

Snow flurry passing through.

[Had Worse]

Ireland has just issued a Red warning.

Snow in Sale, was quite intense, now eased off. Looking at the radar could be having a good afternoon of snow. Any snow in the sun has melted though

Most snow I’ve seen for a long long time, many years! 

 

Must be close to 1ft there? And back at your old house in Harrington there probably isn't anymore than 1cm, nearly all melted here now, absolutely sickening tbh, could cry.

Thursday now looking dry...North East Wales taken out of the warning area for that day. Starting to get that let down feeling. Brutally cold yes but snow wise, we've not had that much. Friday/Saturday need to deliver.

The southern finger was too brief. Sun is coming out again.

Mostly fine overnight but some snow from an overnight shower.  Overnight min: -6.5C, currently 0.5C.  Fine at first but the heavy shower clouds are building and now currently cloudy.

@Mokidugway @I Cumbria Marra I There was a little earthquake not far from you at 7:33; did you feel anything? 

No , nothing was making a brew around then so most likley would have felt it

Glad to hear people are getting some decent snow today, hope you enjoy! (although here in Liverpool I aint! ha). 

This is slightly changing the subject but I find it crazy that the Met office and BBC weather forecasts are so different for the potential snow on Thur/Fri! I know the BBC data now comes from a different source so slight differences are to be expected. However anyone watching the BBC forecast on TV for my location will be expecting heavy snow Thur night and into Friday! Whereas Met office are having none of it! What model are the BBC using now?

Here in Liverpool we had some decent (for us) snow yesterday from the "polar low". This was forecast quite well by the Met office (including their app) but the BBC said it would be further south. This leads me to think I may be trusting the Met forecasts more in future which is a shame as I always had quite a lot of faith in the BBC forecasts previously, unlike some, and liked their TV graphics. The new ones are far too vague especially for snow! 

So what are peoples thoughts on the potential for snow Thur/Fri/Sat? 

 

[Thunder Snow]

Showers seem to be losing all there intensity now

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Guaranteed if that line of showers pasting Carlisle was on line with me instead, it would die before getting here as i seen yesterday and this morning, i knew this part of Cumbria was really bad for snow but now i realise its even worse than i thought! Honestly think its the most snowless part of NW region which is a crap region for snow anyways!?????????

Starting to snow again.
