Snow has stopped now

The area of snow over us seems to be stalling!?

How can a meteorological service give a red warning for the whole country? The UK Met has so far only put Northern Ireland under a yellow warning for Friday and yet you hop over the border to Donegal and its under red. Can you imagine if the UK Met put the whole of Wales under a red warning?

A lot of talk about the swathe of precipitation over central and SE England in the Yorkshire thread. Suggestion that this is not associated with Emma, but convective activity breaking out in conjunction with moisture from the North Sea. Could be further developments. This could explain and tie in with the additional amber and yellow warnings.

Must admit I was wondering where all the snow would come from to last all night and into tomorrow.  The radar still shows it mainly light and what was once a backedge now seems to be merging with the light snow to the south east.

Arround 3pm all eyes at the midlands band.. its intesifiying.. everything comming from the south west up the north. Weather pro radar looks brilliant. We will see

The flurry of snow is evaporating as it hits the ground. Very strange to see.. it's also melting on some surfaces which is odd

It is because of the strong wind.

I hope so as it is heading in our direction. Cheshire is literally the only blank area on the radar in the North West. I want to have a front move in with sub zero temps so it can really do it's magic... I'm just worried that by Saturday temps will have crept above meaning a slow thaw or snow not sticking.

There does look another showery band predicted about 3pm pushing up NW from the Midlands.

Ive noticed that its -1  but even the heavy bursts it doesnt stick and some mow melted

[Chris.R]

Well 12 o’clock and still -1.5°C. Briefly rose to -1.1 but has dropped again. I hope we keep this cloud cover and light snow all afternoon and then an ice day will be assured. Tomorrow might be one as well.

Where are you seeing this buddy? Is it a prediction radar?

I'm willing this across the whole region!! Hope the remainder of Cheshire joins in the fun as well.

weather pro apk is your call buddy! it is brilliant and have been very accurate, part of Meteogroup and you only pay around £3 for 3 months subscription for see the 4h ahead prediction and type of precipitation

I am too. I am grateful for what I have seen so far but it's barely laid anything down, a few cms at best... I want a true sub zero fall where it'ts blowing in the streets etc.  Cheshire has been one of the places with the short straws this spell, for example, the streamer that has been consistently over MCR...why not a bit further south? Just interesting to wonder why? As we have less high ground to our east so you think it would be easier for precipitation to make it over. Hey ho.

Anyways, not giving up hope just yet.

Have a look here http://meteoradar.co.uk/expected-rainfall#

I am not sure how reliable it is.

ahh cool. I have seen prediction radars but they just use the current radar and 'move' it, if that makes sense?

[Guest Delete Me]

Shift in the wind has pushed the snow from the SE midlands up to a NW direction over the past hour.

Should be in Stoke within 30 minutes at this rate

Cheers Karyo, yes I have got that but I think it just uses the current data and moves it in line with wind direction etc. Would be interesting to see an app that knows when things will reignite etc?

[Thunder Snow]

Does anyone think ill get anything more or is that my lot 

[Darren Bown]

Wind has got much stronger.

Yes, I see what you mean. I also don't think it takes into account hills etc.

[seasider]

Its been like this for the past 90 minutes here, just skirting round us. Why? Proper snowdome effect. Jeez.. ☹

Likewise, cheers Karyo

So after this band moves away west we get in on the pivoting front from around 2-3.30

Excellent, could be a little better in terms of intensity as its a front not blowing merged showers from the East, wind up too, could that be the upper air masses meeting?
